On the morning of July 18, 1936, the Western World awoke to a new
and threatening development in European affairs. A cabal of
generals in Spain had rebelled against the legitimate and
democratically elected Republican government. While the conflict
had its own unique Spanish causes, this was not just another
military uprising. The Spanish Civil War served as the opening act
of World War II. The Spanish insurgents received immediate military
aid from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Soviet Russia supported
The Republic, but the democratic countries of Europe and the United
States opted for neutrality, denying military aid to either side.
Spanish society disintegrated, and thousands were killed. The world
was transfixed; the Civil War was the focal point of the mid-1930s,
and ordinary people in all walks of life took sides in the highly
charged emotional atmosphere. Though the conflict ended some 60
years ago, its violent events still resonate in Spain. This
all-in-one reference guide to the Spanish Civil War includes nine
essays on various aspects of the conflict, including: Politics and
social revolution International reaction Women Artists Writers
Educators The war's aftermath And more Brief biographies of major
figures ranging from "La Pasionara" to Franco are included, as well
as primary documents in translation, a timeline, a glossary, maps,
and photos. For students, researchers, and general readers, this is
the ideal place to begin investigating this exceedingly complex,
fascinating, and ultimately tragic period in 20th century history.
