One group wanted things to stay as they were. This was the ruling class made up of wealthy landowners, business people, military leaders, and conservative Roman Catholics. On the other side were those who wanted social change. This group included farm workers, labor union members, and educated middle-class people. https://padlet.com/elizabeth_thompson5/9mw140s47nbz/wish/193880109 dominic]]> 2017-10-04 14:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_thompson5/9mw140s47nbz/wish/193880109 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_thompson5/9mw140s47nbz/wish/193880908  In 1931 King Alfonso XIII allowed elections to be held. When the people voted to set up a republic, the king fled the country. The people soon became dissatisfied with the new government, however. There were many demonstrations and protests. On February 16, 1936, elections were held to choose a new government. The groups that were pressing for reforms banded together as the Popular Front. They won the election. ]]> 2017-10-04 14:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_thompson5/9mw140s47nbz/wish/193880908 In 1492 Spanish ships commanded by Christopher Columbus reached the Americas.

They became known as Nationalists because they wanted to preserve the nation as it was. On July 17 they launched a military uprising against the government. General Francisco Franco led the uprising. This soon turned into war. ]]> 2017-10-04 14:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_thompson5/9mw140s47nbz/wish/193881737 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_thompson5/9mw140s47nbz/wish/193882570 Franco got help from the governments of Italy and Germany. The Republican side (those who supported the Popular Front) got help from the Communist government of the Soviet Union. The Republicans also had the aid of about 40,000 individuals from other countries. Groups of these foreign fighters became known as the International Brigades.

The Nationalists had two big advantages. They controlled the military, and they were united under Franco. The Republicans did not have enough weapons. They also began to fight amongst themselves.

The Nationalists steadily won territory in the north and south. In the spring of 1938 they moved east toward the Mediterranean seacoast. On March 28, 1939, they marched into Madrid, the capital city, without even having to fight. General Franco then had control of the entire counter

Apart from the two world wars, the Spanish Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in the first half of the 20th century. It lasted two years and 254 days—from July 17, 1936, until March 28, 1939. During that time about 1 million people perished. Of those million, approximately 600,000 were battle-related deaths—more than in the American Civil War, which lasted longer.

The conflict in Spain has been called a dress rehearsal for World War II. Germany and Italy both sent weapons, and some troops, to aid the Spanish Nationalists under Francisco Franco’s leadership. The Spanish Republicans received extensive aid from the Soviet Union. Both sides, but especially the Republicans, were assisted by foreign nationals who volunteered to fight in a group called the International Brigades. Many of these volunteers were motivated by hatred for fascism, as exemplified in the governments of Germany and Italy, as well as by an idealistic admiration for communism. Volunteers from the United States made up the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.

Origins

Between World War I and 1936, Spain had become almost ungovernable. There were so many factions and divisions in the country that no political party could cater to all of them. Besides the numerous political parties, ranging from the Communists on the left to the Fascists on the right, there were organizations of workers that wanted to overthrow the government and establish a new economy under the control of the workers. There was a very strong pro-Catholic party facing powerful elements who wanted to destroy the church. Regional and ethnic loyalties—especially among the Basques and the Catalans—urged a large degree of independence.

In April 1931, faced with the possibility of civil war, King Alfonso XIII left Spain for exile. His reign was succeeded by the Second Republic, which went from crisis to crisis for five years. In February 1936 a Popular Front government came to power. It consisted of a group of parties that had banded together to ensure a victory for the left. The government received support from Communists, anarchists, and syndicalists (labor union members who wanted to overthrow the capitalist system and replace it with a workers’ economy). With the Popular Front in place, violence erupted throughout Spain. There were 113 general and 218 partial strikes. Arsonists set fire to 170 churches, 69 clubs, and ten newspapers.

As with World War I, the spark that ignited the conflict was an assassination. In revenge for the murder of a Communist lieutenant, the former finance minister of Spain, José Calvo Sotelo, was arrested and killed on July 13, 1936, by men in officers’ uniforms. Four days later an army mutiny, led by Franco, broke out in Spanish Morocco. Within 48 hours army units all over Spain had joined the revolt against political instability and the forces of the left.

The War

Garrisons throughout Spain revolted. In the south, Seville, Córdoba, Granada, and Cádiz immediately fell to rebel hands. In the north all of Galicia, most of León, and part of Asturias came to the army’s, or Nationalist, side. The failure of the rebels to take Madrid and Barcelona, the principal cities, prolonged the conflict.

The Nationalists, with the army on their side, were well armed and trained. The Popular Front (Republicans) were forced to rely mostly on untrained volunteers and on arms that the syndicalist unions had been storing for their own use. Before the end of the first month, however, foreign intervention had already started. Franco’s forces received troops, technicians, and large supplies of weapons from Italy and Germany.

The Republicans sought and received funding and weapons from the Soviet Union and Mexico. Volunteers from many nations began arriving to form the International Brigades. The Western powers, led by France and Great Britain, voted for neutrality, but intervention by Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union continued to the end of the war.

By August 1936 the Nationalists had united their southern and northern territories by capturing Badajoz. They immediately headed for Madrid, but a short detour to Toledo delayed them. The International Brigades had time to form a defensive position around the capital, and Madrid was forced to undergo a siege lasting 28 months. The government meanwhile moved to Valencia on the east coast.

The Republicans were hampered in their efforts by internal divisions. Fierce differences of opinion raged among them and occasionally led to violence. A small civil war within the overall conflict was caused by a rising of anarcho-syndicalists in Barcelona from May 3 to 10, 1937.

They were subsequently driven from the government. The Communists suppression of dissent in areas they controlled was ruthless—especially in Barcelona—and resulted in many deaths.

Franco became the undisputed leader of the Nationalists on Oct. 1, 1936. Military activity dragged on slowly through the next winter. Málaga was taken in February 1937. The Basque capital of Bilbao endured a two-month siege until June 19. Santander fell on August 25. After a year of war, Franco’s forces controlled 35 of the 50 provincial capitals, and the Republicans were still struggling to put together an army. The last significant military gain for the Republicans was the capture of Teruel in Aragon on Jan. 9, 1938, but they lost the city on February 22.

When spring came, the Nationalists began nearly simultaneous campaigns—one into Catalonia to the northeast and the other southward to the Mediterranean. By then the Republicans appeared to be acknowledging defeat. A temporary Nationalist setback revived their hopes, but by the end of the year the Republican army was exhausted, their people suffering starvation, and their territory filling up with more than 3 million refugees from Nationalist areas.

The last offensive started on Dec. 23, 1938. Barcelona fell on Jan. 26, 1939, after a 34-day assault. Soon Franco controlled all of Catalonia, and refugees poured across the border into France. By spring, Republican internal divisions made their cause hopeless. The Nationalists, 200,000 strong, walked unopposed into a starving Madrid on March 28. The next day the Republicans surrendered everywhere. The 36-year rule of Franco had begun (seeFranco, Francisco).

The ruthlessness and violence of the Spanish Civil War shocked the rest of the world. The Republicans banned religious services. Churches were burned or desecrated. Thousands of priests, including ten bishops, were murdered, as were many lay Catholics. The Nationalists organized mass executions.

Vividly remembered even today is the Nationalists’ bombing of Guernica on April 26, 1937, commemorated in a painting by Pablo Picasso (seePicasso). The war also became a subject of much literature. The most comprehensive one-volume history is The Spanish Civil War by Hugh Thomas (rev. ed. 1977). Blood of Spain by Ronald Fraser (1979) is an excellent oral history. The most moving nonfiction work is George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia (1938). The best-known novel is Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). (See alsoSpain.)

The last offensive started on Dec. 23, 1938. Barcelona fell on Jan. 26, 1939, after a 34-day assault. Soon Franco controlled all of Catalonia, and refugees poured across the border into France. By spring, Republican internal divisions made their cause hopeless. The Nationalists, 200,000 strong, walked unopposed into a starving Madrid on March 28. The next day the Republicans surrendered everywhere. The 36-year rule of Franco had begun (seeFranco, Francisco).

The ruthlessness and violence of the Spanish Civil War shocked the rest of the world. The Republicans banned religious services. Churches were burned or desecrated. Thousands of priests, including ten bishops, were murdered, as were many lay Catholics. The Nationalists organized mass executions.

Vividly remembered even today is the Nationalists’ bombing of Guernica on April 26, 1937, commemorated in a painting by Pablo Picasso (seePicasso). The war also became a subject of much literature. The most comprehensive one-volume history is The Spanish Civil War by Hugh Thomas (rev. ed. 1977). Blood of Spain by Ronald Fraser (1979) is an excellent oral history. The most moving nonfiction work is George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia (1938). The best-known novel is Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). (See alsoSpain.)
