We start from
at Minkwoski spacetime with its group of motion, the Poincare group (PG: semidirect product of translations and Lorentz transformations). We gauge the PG according to the recipe of Weyl, Yang-Mills, Utiyama, and Sciama and Kibble. We arrive at a Riemann-Cartan spacetime with torsion and curvature. The simplest Lagrangian leads to the Einstein-Cartan theory of gravitation, which is a viable gravitational theory. Prospects for further developments are discussed.
