The authorities of Andorra's Co-Princes ban casinos…
1876 CE to 1887 CE
The ban results in an economic conflict for the Andorran people.
The conflict leads to the so-called revolution of 1881, when revolutionaries assault the house of the syndic on December 8, 1880, and establish the Provisional Revolutionary Council led by Joan Pla i Calvo and Pere Baró i Mas.
The Provisional Revolutionary Council allows for the construction of casinos and spas by foreign companies.
From June 7 to 9 ,1881, the loyalists of Canillo and Encamp reconquer the parishes of Ordino and Massana by establishing contact with the revolutionary forces in Escaldes-Engordany.
After a day of combat the Treaty of the Bridge of Escalls is signed on June 10.
The Council is replaced and new elections are held.
The economic situation worsens, as the populace is divided over the Qüestió d'Andorra—the "Andorran Question" in relation to the Eastern Question).
The struggles will continue between pro-bishops, pro-French, and nationalists based on the troubles of Canillo in 1882 and 1885.
