of the greatest droughts the country had ever known The USSR had
successfully installed Communist leaders into most of the branches
of the government Unable to resolve the problems, the Spanish King
would go into exile to Portugal while leaving the country in the
hands of the Communist leaders Even the few wealthy Spaniards soon
became poor as they were compelled to submit to an increasing
taxation needed to pay for the roads and bridges, and provide
employment to a limited few Three young people, born into poverty,

directions in their struggle to survive As a youngster, Soledad
