1. spanish civil war

   The Spanish Civil War was a military conflict that took place in Spain from July 17, 1936 to April 1, 1939. It started when a military coup attempted to overthrow the democratically elected government of the Second Spanish Republic. The conflict was ideologically and politically complex, broadly pitting the political right, represented by the Nationalists, against the political left, represented by the Republicans. The Nationalists, led by General Francisco Franco, emerged as the victors and established a dictatorship that lasted until 1975. The war drew international attention and involvement, and is often viewed as a prelude to World War II.

1. Spanish Civil War

   The Spanish Civil War was fought from 17 July 1936 to 1 April 1939 between the Republicans, who were loyal to the established Spanish Republic, and the Nationalists, a rebel group led by General Francisco Franco. The Nationalists prevailed, and Franco ruled Spain for the next 36 years, from 1939 until his death in 1975. The war began after a pronunciamiento by a group of generals of the Spanish Republican Armed Forces under the leadership of José Sanjurjo against the elected government of the Second Spanish Republic, at the time under the leadership of President Manuel Azaña. The rebel coup was supported by a number of conservative groups, including the Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right, monarchists such as the religious conservative Carlists, and the Fascist Falange. The coup was supported by military units in Morocco, Pamplona, Burgos, Valladolid, Cádiz, Cordova, and Seville. However, rebelling units in important cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, and Málaga were unable to capture their objectives, and those cities remained in control of the government. Spain was thus left militarily and politically divided. The rebels, led by General Franco, then embarked upon a war of attrition against the established government for the control of the country. The rebel forces received support from Nazi Germany, the Kingdom of Italy, and neighboring Portugal, while the Soviet Union and Mexico intervened in support of the "loyalist," or Republican, side. Other countries, such as the United Kingdom and France, operated an official policy of non-intervention.

Examples of Spanish Civil War in a Sentence

1. Jesus Muñoz:

   Now they start desecrating tombs, this is not going to be like 1936 (when the Spanish Civil War started) but much worse.

2. Lopez Oliva:

   They were imbued with anti-communism from the Spanish civil war. They sided with the United States and supporters of the old Batista regime and so the trouble began as a political, not religious, confrontation, yes, the Castros have changed, but so has the Church, and that is why reconciliation is now possible.
