"La guerra de los pastores"

"La Guerra de los Pastores" was a violent conflict in 1936 between groups of shepherds in northern Spain, primarily in the Cantabria region. It arose from tensions over land use, livestock grazing rights, and local economic disputes. The conflict involved clashes between different shepherd communities and sometimes authorities, reflecting broader social and economic struggles of rural Spain during that period. It is notable for highlighting rural unrest, resource competition, and regional identities during a time of political instability leading up to the Spanish Civil War.
