spanish cvil war
In February 1936 a general election in the Republic of Spain brought power to a government supported by a coalition of center and left-wing parties. A few months later, conservative military offices rose against the government of the Republic, and civil war followed. Over the next three years, conservatives and fascists attempted to overthrow the Republic. Among the groups involved in the Spanish Civil War were the moderate republicans, socialists, communists, anarchists and nationalists. Each of the groups defending the Spanish Republic had different aims and attitudes. The way they represented these aims; through violence, negotiation, or peace was key in determining how the conflict of the Spanish Civil War was settled.
The Republican faction was the side in the Spanish Civil War that that supported the established government of the Second Spanish Republic against the Nationalist or rebel faction of the military rebellion. The Prime Minister Manuel Azana was an advocate for peace and order as a means to reach a conclusion to the civil war. But not all republicans felt this way; the republican militia used violence to accomplish their aim of defeating the rebellion. Clara Campoamor stated that gunman to shop for groceries would even accompany women. This is biased and could be an exaggeration of the truth since Clara is a republican deputy in parliament and had their interests in mind. There was also a third way the republicans represented their aims; Andres Marquez member of the republican party and was an advocate for reform. Within the Republican part their were three different ways of trying the accomplish the goal of defeating the uprising and defending the republic (Doc. 1,2,3,4).

    Like other civil wars, the Spanish Civil War often pitted family members and trusted neighbours and friends against each other. Apart from the soldiers, many civilians were killed for their political or religious views by both sides, and after the war ended in 1939, Republicans were at times persecuted by the victorious Nationalists. Since Spanish government was in disarray during its civil war so Hitler and Mussolini saw this as an opportunity to help and get the Fascist and Nazi ideals into the Spanish government. However, Franco himself was not a Fascist he was just accepting the help him and his government required. This resulted in strengthening the war because Hitler's move into Spain revealed rebel forces trying to remove the Spanish officials, such as the King and his government officials but the rebel movement never gained enough popularity at the time. In 1936 the military hoped to capture Spain quickly but they failed, and nearly half of the army remained loyal to the government and the rebellion failed in Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona and the Basque country which resulted in workers and peasant soldiers were formed to defend the government. Nevertheless, in the beginning of 1939 the Republic collapsed and the Nationalists occupied Barcelona and in a few months…

    Imagine fighting for freedom against a country that won’t listen to you and treats you with cruelty. You don’t have much military power, so this other, more powerful country helps you gain independance. However, as soon as you win, the country that helps turns around and puts you in the same situation, just with them instead of the original country. This is what it was like in the Philippines! Before the Spanish-American war, the Philippines were a territory of Spain, along with some other countries like Cuba and Puerto Rico. Spain mistreated the people of these territories. They moved them into camps, that had shelters with no roofs. If they didn’t get there in time, they were executed. The United States stepped in and went to war with Spain for the independance of these territories. When we won the war, we got control of these…

    During the last years of the nineteenth century, the United States would find itself involved in what John Jay, the American secretary of state, later referred to as a "splendid little war; begun with highest motives, carried on with magnificent intelligence and spirit, favored by that fortune which loves the brave." From an American standpoint, because there were few negative results, and so many significantly positive consequences, John Jay was correct in calling the Spanish-American War a "splendid little war." The defeat of the Spanish forces marked the end of their rule in the Americas and also marked the rise of the United States as a global military power. The Spanish-American War affected the United States in a number of other ways. It helped speed the construction of the Panama Canal and also resulted in the U.S.'s acquisition of foreign territories. There were also many other minor positive outcomes to the war as opposed to the few negative consequences that resulted.…
