The Casas Viejas incident, also known as the Casas Viejas massacre, was a failed civil uprising that took place from 10 to 12 January 1933, in the village of Casas Viejas as part of the larger anarchist insurrection of January 1933 with the aim of toppling the Second Spanish Republic and implementing anarcho-communism. The incident constituted one of the most tragic events in the history of the Republic up until that point, resulting in a political crisis which led to the collapse of the second Azaña government and the end of the Reformist Biennium and the triumph of the right wing coalition in the following November of 1933 general election.
