La Revolución Española

La Revolución Española, primarily referring to the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), was a conflict where Republican forces, seeking social reform and defending democracy, fought against Nationalist forces led by General Francisco Franco, who aimed to establish a fascist dictatorship. It was fueled by deep political, social, and economic divisions, involving widespread violence and international intervention. Franco's victory led to nearly four decades of authoritarian rule in Spain. The war is significant for its intense ideological battles and as a precursor to World War II, highlighting tensions between democracy and fascism during that era.
