		En Asturias la guerra civil alcanzó una gran virulencia debido al rencor existente desde la revolución de Octubre del 34, siendo la segunda región con mayor numero de muertos.

		Esta situación motiva que Asturias pase de ser la sexta región, en 1955, en la renta per capita, a ser la vigésimo primera en 1985, y con una tasa de paro superior a la media nacional.
