General Francisco Franco and the Spanish Civil War 1036
- Fascist vs Republicans
- who else gets involved?
- Russia is the only country that comes to the aid of the loyalist republicans with men and money to try and stave off the coup Franco is trying to get involved in.
- Franco had help from Mussolini and Hitler < Germany and Italy fascists come to aid
- mirrors what’s happening across euroe
- American volunteers saw this as their fight to attack fascism < 1000’s of volunteers > artists and liberal college students went on their own dime and fought illegally with the republicans
- the same ones who flirted with the communist party back home (from last Thursday’s lecture)
- in 1939 Franco was vicotorious < stays in power until his death in 1976
Germany and Hitler
- has a domestic agenda
- this is not the big issue for the united states and other countries
- big issue for the countries in Europe and abroad > like italy Hitler wants to expand to correct the abuses of the versille treaty and take back the lands that were taken in 1919
- 1936 hitler turned to the west and begins to occupy the rhine-land < that france got in the 1919 peace treaty
- for hitler this was a teast he was interested in finding out if anyone will stop him (not supposed to have an army)
- if anyone had said no or stopped him he would have stopped
- for hitler this was the green light that no one was going to stop him
- then he turns to the east and starts to create the Aryan empire
- Austria in 1938
- then goes to check and they turn to britian for help
- Neville Chamberland believed that Hitler was rational and could be negotiated with > the munich conference 1938
- Hitler could have checkoslovakia and in return hitler promised that he would stop
- Chamberland flies back to London England and says there will be peace in our time
- significance of munich
- short term hitler doesn't stop and sees this as a weakness
- longterm of munich
- the lesson that you
