The Spanish Civil War
The Spanish Civil War widely known in Spain simply as The Civil War or The War, took place from 1936 to 1939 and was fought between the Republicans, who were loyal to the democratic, left-leaning Second Spanish Republic, and the Nationalists, a falagist group led by General Francisco Franco. Although often portrayed as a struggle between democracy and Fascism, some historians consider it more accurately described as a struggle between leftist revolution and rightist counterrevolution.Ultimately, the Nationalists won, and Franco then ruled Spain for the next 36 years, from April 1939 until his death in November 1975.
