La guerra de España

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was a conflict between the Republicans, who supported a democratic government, and the Nationalists, led by General Francisco Franco, who aimed to establish a fascist regime. The war was marked by political divisions, social unrest, and foreign intervention, with countries like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy supporting the Nationalists, while the Soviet Union and international brigades backed the Republicans. The war resulted in significant casualties and destruction, ending with Franco's victory, which led to a dictatorship that lasted until his death in 1975. It profoundly influenced Spain’s social and political landscape.
