Riassunto

The Spanish Civil War was a major conflict which lasted from 17 July 1936 to 1 April 1939. It began after a military rebellion by a group of conservative generals led by Francisco Franco against the elected Government of the Second Spanish Republic, then under the leadership of President Manuel Azaña. The rebel coup was supported by the conservative groups including the Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right, monarchists known as Carlist groups and the Fascist Falange. Following the only partially successful coup, Spain was left militarily and politically divided. From that moment onwards General Franco began a protracted war of attrition against the legally established government, as loyalist supporters of the centre-left Republican Government fought the rebel forces for control of the country. The War ended with the victory of the rebels, who called themselves 'Nationalists', the overthrow of the Republican Government, and the exile of thousands of Spanish Republicans, many of whom ended up in refugee camps in Southern France. With the establishment of a conservative dictatorship led by General Francisco Franco in the aftermath of the Civil War, all right-wing parties were fused into the structure of the Franco regime. The author, Lieutenant Colonel of Artillery Carlos Medina, conducts an impartial study of the conflict, analysing the political causes as well as the military development of operations in the various fronts from 1936 to 1939.
