This work covers the international importance of the War in Spain
through the two organizations that marked the multilateral action
towards the conflict: The League of Nations and the
Non-Intervention Committee. France and the United Kingdom diverted
both deliberations as well as decision-making processes and
mechanisms from Geneva. Non-intervention was appeasement's specific
variable applied to Spain. Despite its name, it meant an
intervention, depriving the Spanish government from its own defense
while the fascist governments provided massive and regular support
to the rebels. The League was damaged in its authority through the
violation of its Covenant in Manchuria and Abyssinia. Once the War
in Spain began, non-intervention was articulated with the main
objective to confine the conflict to the Spanish borders. To this
end, the designation of the conflict as a civil war (not a mere
nominal nor anecdotal issue) in both London and Geneva was
essential. By abandoning the Spanish democracy and foreclosing the
collective security system, European democracies were also removing
all that stood between their own societies and another world war.
The failure of the collective security system that the League was
supposed to safeguard, prompted by the impossibility of reconciling
the British-led policy of appeasement with active anti-fascism, led
to a climate of collective insecurity, during which arose a Second
World War. This was precisely the main objective to avoid in the
international order established in 1919 after the major collective
catastrophe on a worldwide scale - soon to be overcome as that. The
scholarship herein will prove essential for scholars of the
interwar years' crisis, twentieth-century Spanish history and
international relations.
