Juan Negrín López was born in Las Palmas, the Canary Islands, Feburary 3, 1894.
He was a pupil of the Nobel Prize of Medicine winner, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, qualified as a doctor in Germany and later he became a professor of physiology at the Complutense University of Madrid at the age of 29. Negrín spoke English, French, German and a little Russian, besides his native Spanish.
His political prominence began with his appointment as minister of finance in 1936. In the following year, after Stalinist pressure forced the violent repression of the workers' movements in Catalonia and the fall of the Caballero cabinet, President Azaña made him prime minister. During the military collapse of the Republic (1938 - 1939) he was also minister of national defense. After World War II Negrín attended the United Nations Conference on International Organization at San Francisco in 1945, and he consulted with colleagues in Mexico the same year.
