The Spanish Civil War, 1936-39, was the curtain-raiser to World War
II, and the major international event of the 1930s. It was the
first great clash of 20th-century ideologies, between the rebel
Nationalist army led by General Franco (right-wing, and aided by
Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy), and the Republican army of the
government (left-wing, and aided by the Communist Soviet Union and
many volunteers from liberal democracies). Three years of
widespread campaigns involved the most modern weapons available.
The war was fought ruthlessly by both sides, and when the
Nationalists secured victory they installed a dictatorship that
lasted until November 1975 - the last such regime in Western
Europe. Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork, this
first part of a two-part study depicts the fighting men of the
Nationalist forces that strove to take control of Spain alongside
their German and Italian allies.
