History and profile

La Conquista del Estado was launched in 1931 by Ramiro Ledesma Ramos. The first issue, issued on 14 March 1931, contained a manifesto in which National Syndicalism was elaborated. Ledesma's impression was to win over the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo CNT, the then dominant trade union movement in the country, to a cause of national corporatism. The ideas in the essay were discussed during the CNT congress in the summer of 1931 without being approved.

On the other hand, despite the magazine being inspired from the views of Adolf Hitler, the founders of the magazine did non endorse his views on racism as well as argued that it should be replaced with the conviction of Spain's imperial past.
