Always interesting to consider the high amount of foreign volunteers and foreign legions sent there by states (including the USSR Italy and Germany) that all participated in the civil war. Kind of gives you a feeling that this was a 20th century European proxy war.
There are a few minor incorrections, but generally a good work. Incorrections include: - Not placing the italians at the helm of the Malaga Ofensive in early 1937, neither at the fall of Bilbao in mid'37. - Not representing the Republican offensive at Teruel in late 1937 (which actually managed to seize the city, albeit shortly) - Not representing the Nationalist advance towards Valencia in the spring of 1938, which was stopped around Segorbe in what became the last republican victory of the war - Leaving the Germans idle around Seville, when the Legion Condor was in fact moving around constantly in support of the Nationalists in most of the relevant battles of the war. But good work anyway. Your video is well worth watching.
My grandparents were born in 1933 and 1936 in Murcia. Their lives where marked by this event, there was a lot of hunger everywhere and had to do anything to survive. I'm lucky to still have them and be able to ask them about stories and the way of living at that time, its gives me much perspective into todays life, and how people have became increasingly weaker

My portuguese great grandfather worked in france as a mechanic at that time was caught in middle of the conflict as he was passing spain and got arrested by the spanish military , good thing is that it was close to Portugal and after some days in military custody some spanish guards let him go in the middle of the night ,"vaya portugues , rapido rapido " and he manage to cross the border back to Portugal 😂
Pissing off Portugal would've been a MAJOR mistake for either side, with Spain divided like that Portugal could've easily swooped in and turned the war in either direction it wished (the fact they supported Franco can be seen as one of the main reasons for early Fracoist success), so he was never really in any danger they were always going to have to let him go, this is not just modern day Portugal, it was colonial Portugal, that could've easily pulled up like a million soldiers like it was nothing from it's African colonies, not a nation you'd want to anger
1 million definetly not, but africans were a major part of the colonial garrisons and they activelly fougth in the colonial wars against the rebels@@New_frisk
@@New_frisk Not 1 million africans, but 1 million soldiers including reserves from there, they'd do it for the same reason they did during the colonial war, they'd just be conscripted same as the whites. They were technically Portuguese nationals themselves in those days, there were no independent nations that exist today in those regions. So there wasn't the same distinction that there might be now about the "Portuguese" being a separate people that you're going to "help" you're just being conscripted by your nation same as if Angola called you up today.
Two of my great-grandfathers fought in this war. One in each side. Many common soldiers didn't fight in the side they wanted (they didn't even want to fight), but they fought in the side that came first to their village and recruited them; they had no other choice, or they would have been shot right there. One of my great-grandfathers died in a battle in Galicia, he was one of those numbers that rise so fast in the first years of the war. The other had better luck, after serving long time in such a horror, he could desert during the battle of Ebro, crossing the river swimming and escaping to France. He was "enslaved" by the French, forced to work in the mines, until he could come back home after the war. In his absence, my great-grandmother, with her mother and sisters, survived by smuggling of goods hidden in fake-bellies (they pretended to be pregnant). Those were hard times for all Spanish society. Not to mention all the crimes and mass murders of civilians commited by both sides. It was not a war of good vs. bad, or right vs. wrong. It was a bloody disaster for our society, that all people had to suffer, all families were touched by it, and we are still bleeding from it, since many people even in Spain only focus on the crimes of "the other side", instead of acknowledging the history as shameful as it was in its full.
Yes but Franco and the other we in fact generals so they treason Spain. They received help from Hitler and and Mussolini then reasoned them. Then they said fighting a crusade... Let African provinces in hands of the neighbours... Republic was legitimate, the fascist only were lucky during cold war period
@@alejandrorivera1812A yes, those facts are true, but they are not the whole story. Despite the republican government was "legitimate", that doesn't mean it was good. The years before the war were full of injustice, State terrorism, burning of churches, political assassinations, and many other abuses of power that resulted in many people being unfairly treated, tortured or even murdered. The Spanish second republic is often (and sadly) glorified as if it was a great period, when it was far from just ok. Half of the country did not went into rebellion because they were evil fascists that wanted to destroy the country: the fascists, as in any country were they reached power, fed on the social crisis that the State was facing, bringing hope to desperate people who fell into the fascist populism because they wanted change to end the madness they lived in. Of course none of that justifies the horrible crimes comited by Franco and his fascist dictatorship; but in the same way, the fact that the "legitimate" republican goverment was destroyed by the fascists does not erase all the crimes that the republic had commited against the population before (and during) the war.
@@DeathMoonKnight wow, rare to see someone on the internet who actually has a well-informed and nuanced take that takes into account all sides and biases of the historical area he is talking about. Quite glad to see that people like you are still around. As always history is never black and white; it's always shades of grey.
@@fierylightning3422 thanks, it's indeed quite difficult to stay objective and seek the truth in our polarized society. Sadly, Spain is still deeply divided, and our politics are taken by populism full of hate for "the others". I don't know if we will ever be able to overcome such divisions. The way people tend to blindly "choose one team" in wars as if they were just football games, even with current conflicts (e.g. Israel vs. Palestine), is sick. Nothing good will ever come from believing that in wars one side is full of evil people and the other is full of saints who always do the right things.
@@DeathMoonKnight as a Spaniard i like your take, Calvo Sotelo was the guy you were thinking i guess, a right wing politician who was taken from his house by republican cops and murdered, by many this is considered the break point of peace in Spain and the main reason the african military raise against the republic
My great grandfather avoided this war when he permanently moved to El Salvador in the 1890's. What a smart move. My mother moved to USA in 1974 and avoided the salvadorean civil war (1979-1982) another smart move.
Canción popular española sobre la guerra civil, basada en una historia real: Caminando por el bosque En el suelo vi que había Una carta ensangrentada De cuarenta años hacia Era de un paracaidista De la octava compañía Que a su madre le escribía Y la carta así decía Madre anoche en las trincheras Entre el fuego y la metralla Vía al enemigo correr La noche estaba cerrada Apunte con mi fusil Al tiempo que disparaba Y una luz que iluminó El rostro que yo mataba Era mi amigo José Compañero de la escuela Con quien tanto yo jugué A soldados y a trincheras Ahora el juego era verdad Y a mi amigo ya lo entierran Madre yo quiero morir Ya estoy harto de esta guerra Madre si vuelvo a escribir Tal vez sea desde el cielo Donde encontrare a José Y jugaremos de nuevo Si mi sangre fuera tinta Y mi corazón tintero Con las sangre de mis venas Te escribiría: Te quiero Carta original: Querida madre, no sé como empezar esta carta pero te escribo con mi rostro bañado en lagrimas, caen por la soledad, tristeza, dolor y sufrimiento que vivo día tras día aquí. Lo primero que tengo que decirte es Te Quiero y aunque no lo demuestre con frecuencia, Te quiero con locura, para mi eres la persona más importante, siempre has estado ahí apoyándome y protegiéndome, haces que las cosas malas parezcan buenas, tus consejos están llenos de sabiduría y siempre me has llevado por el buen camino. Ahora ya soy mayor de edad, tengo dieciocho años, puedo afrontar yo solo las cosas... pero la verdad es que no puedo madre... Perdóname, os hecho mucho de menos, ¡no quiero estar aquí! Se que desde casa junto a padre y mis hermanos os sentís orgullos de mi, podéis presumir de tener un hijo en el frente. Lo siento por ser un cobarde madre pero tengo miedo, más del que puedo aguantar. No entiendo esta guerra, no se cual es el bando bueno, no sé por qué lucho, no entiendo nada de lo que pasa, solo acato ordenes. El incesante sonido de los fusiles se mezclan con los gritos y llantos de la gente torturando mis oídos día y noche, vivo con una melodía continua de ametralladoras y lluvias constantes de bombarderos. Ya no hablo ni pienso, porque otros lo hacen por mi, solo me hace falta una frase para salir del paso aquí, “a la orden”. Dicen que el amor es suficiente para seguir adelante, que hay que luchar por nuestras familias, demostrar lo que valemos, pero ya no tengo el valor para estar en la batalla, las piernas me tiemblan sin parar, no duermo, me cuesta respirar, lloro a escondidas porque no puedo demostrar lo que siento delante de mis compañeros, se fuerte y lucha me repito constantemente, pero las palabras se pierden en mi mente como las vidas de la gente que esta a mi alrededor, soy la marioneta de un tirano titiritero. A noche nos lanzaron en paracaídas a una zona nueva de batalla, dicen que somos la mejor compañía jamás vista, la fuerza de los ochos nos llaman. La octava compañía paracaidista, siempre al frente luchando por su patria, por los ideales de un estado, viviendo el conflicto con lealtad y valor. Somos soldados valerosos, abrimos brechas en las filas enemigas, causamos bajas en ellos como si fueran animales y no tenemos remordimientos, pero todo es mentira pura mentira, solo fachada, una apariencia; los rostros de la gente demuestran lo contrario, sus caras se han tronado sombrías y pálidas, muestran el temor, horror y desamparo que se vive aquí, pero como nos repiten una y otra vez, “¡soldados o ellos o ustedes!” Madre para lo que realmente te escribo es para contarte lo que me ocurrió anoche. Me encontraba en el campo de batalla resguardándome del fuego cruzado y la metralla. Como siempre acataba ordenes, teníamos que superar una cota para llegar hasta un punto estratégico que nos serviría de base, para ello era necesario abatir al contrario con toda nuestra fuerza, no escatimamos en munición, ni violencia... Madre anoche en las trincheras vía al enemigo correr hacia mi, le apunte con mi fusil y sin darle tiempo a reaccionar le dispare; algo raro paso en ese momento, ya había matado a más gente antes pero en aquel chicho había algo distinto, una luz ilumino su rostro, la cara del enemigo al que asesinaba… madre era mi amigo José, mi compañero de la escuela, nuestro vecino, el hijo de Francisca, mi mejor amigo, con quien tanto yo jugué a soldados y a trincheras. Madre ahora el juego es verdad, no hay risas, solo oscuridad y llantos, no volveremos a jugar jamás, ¡lo están enterrando! Lo siento muchísimo, te pido perdón madre pero ya no aguanto mas aquí, me quiero morir, estoy harto de esta guerra, ¡no se dan cuenta que no va a ganar nadie joder! Tal vez te vuelva a escribir, pero la próxima que lo haga será desde el cielo, donde encontrare a José y jugaremos de nuevo. Madre ten por seguro que si mi sangre fuera tinta y mi corazón tintero, con la sangre de mi venas, te escribiría un “TE QUIERO”. Hasta siempre.
Bueno, esa supuesta carta tiene un poco de mito, no se sabe muy bien la canción de donde vino, probablemente de campamentos de boy scouts o religiosos de los años 60/70s. Le ocurre como a la famosa carta del jefe Siux, demasiado buena, para ser verdad, en realidad fue creada en los años 60s con el movimiento hippie, pero si basada en una carta que a su vez se hizo 30 años después de un discurso del jefe Seattle en 1854. Y aun más, la version que suele conocerse en internet, es de los años 80s..

It looks very very strange that you used blue for the republicans and red for the nationals, as both sides identified themselves and the others with the exact opposite (red=republican and blue=national)
@@user-vq6jc8uh6p It is more of a NATO thing, blue is used for friendly and red for enemy. It isn't really to do with US politics the colours of which are relatively recent.
He knows nothing about Spain (and its Civil War). For example, the total amount of casualties was about 540.000 according to the demographic data available in wich most of the historians from both sides agree.
The war was so gruesome Spain decided to stay out of the 2nd World War. WW2 would have went sideways if Spain joined the Axis. If they captured Gibraltar it would have been a devastating blow for the British. They would not have been able to resupply their troops in North Africa.
@@aksmex2576You're crazy we wanted bread, water and light after the war. We were busy making babies and have almost no people to make experiment with ...
It wasn't. Casualties include wounded, captured, etc... Note in the video how in the last days, when the Republic collapses, the number of republican casualties goes up by exactly the same amount of republican troops left before the collapse. The Nationalist casualties figure is less affected by surrendered troops, and if you apply the general principle of 20% dead 80% wounded, then you get close to the figures in wikipedia, which only account for dead soldiers. Then you have to add up the people murdered by rearguard repression in both sides, which should amount to aproximately 60k executions by the republicans and 150k by the nationalists (including post-war executions). If you add civilian deaths from famine, bombings, etc... you will get a final death toll of about half a million people.
Colours are inverted, because in the right side were Socialist and comunist must go on red, and the enemies at the left were the "blue army" (el ejército azul). And it's missing the help of Stalin to the comunists... But rest of things are correct.

My two grandparents fought in the Spanish Civil War, despite living on each other a few kilometers, one lived in the national zone and the other in the Republican, as the vast majority, they were forcibly recruited and fought on sides in sides opposites.

War is the worst aspect of human nature, but even more so are civil wars that destroy coexistence and leave an incurable social fracture for a long time.

Sí, es muy comentado el hecho de cómo Franco fue asegurando los territorios ganados en vez de avanzar terreno. Hay que tener en cuenta que detrás de las filas, en los propios territorios ganados seguían pasando cosas feas para evitar nuevos alzamientos. Por otra parte, el inicio fue repentino por el crudo contexto de la época, de hecho, en muchos cuarteles alzados se escuchaba el himno de la República, aunque al final todos los alzados se adscribieron al futuro dictador Franco. Volviendo al tema de la lentitud, muchos de los esfuerzos de la guerra se centran en Asturias (Norte) y Cataluña (Noreste), dos frentes muy complicados y que, una vez resueltos, era fácil prever que los demás se rendirían.
JRR Tolkien supported the Nationalists in this war, interestingly enough. He was an admirer of Roy Campbell, who he compared to Aragorn (then named Trotter) in a letter. Campbell was a British fascist who fought in Malaga against the Republican General Villalba. According to Tolkien he recovered a religious artifact that the general had looted.
Tolkien abhorred of totalitarianism, the Soviet one even more than the nazi. Most people believe the nationalists were a bunch of bad guys who toppled a proper democratic regime, like the French Republic or the UK. But it was very far from that. The Communists and anarchists and such wanted a proletarian revolution (they failed the coup in 34). The nationalist coup of 36 was bound to happen. Also, the spanish fascists acquired ten times the influence and importance at the onset. They were few before the war. Later Franco got them in his pocket, for he was no fascist, but the staunchest “Franquista” of them all.
Con franco ocurría 20 veces menos violaciones q ahora y la natalidad era la de un país con futuro , ahora es la de un país al borde de desaparecer para siempre.
En mi opinión el mayor lastre que tiene España fue la guerra civil que todavía nos divide. No hay nada que una más un país que una guerra contra un enemigo externo, mientras en Europa lo hicieron aquí luchamos entre nosotros.
@@sombra3939 Mira lo q te digo q yo creo q la guerra civil fuel a gota q colmó el vaso eh... Para mi todo esto empezó en el 1700 con la guerra de sucesión, donde, por primera vez, se ejerció represión hacía una de las coronas, provocando mal estar. De ahí solo hemos ido cuesta abajo, en mi opinión.
Mis abuelos tuvieron que emigrar a Venezuela durante la guerra y no pudieron volver hasta que murió Franco y aun después, vivieron con miedo el resto de sus vidas por temor a que les vinieran a buscar a sus casas cualquier noche mientras dormían para asesinarlos. Es por eso que odio tanto a los políticos que tenemos ahora que solo piensan en dividir a la población. Esa guerra no la ganó nadie y parece que algunos todavía no se han dado cuenta. España es un país muy bonito pero su gente es tóxica.
Not my feelings of actually living in Spain. I can compare it to the Dutch, where I originally come from. The Dutch are much more racist and xenophobe than the average Spanish person. However, yes, there are complete idiots. I mean, look at what they are doing now against the democratically chosen and wise PM Pedro Sanchez. It's a big disgrace! But. They shouldn't talk and complain if the Catalans will push for independence if there would come an extreme right wing government in Madrid. I will fully support the Catalan cause. Without a doubt! Even though I prefer Real Madrid over FC Barcelona 😂

The carlists fought with the nationalists and the anarchists fought with the republicans. there’s actually even more groups that existed that aren’t even on Hoi4
The Italians really helped out Franco's Forces. The were at the Assault Forefront when big maneuvers happened, and one of the many reasons Italy performed less in WW2 was because italy was bankrupt from supporting and supplying Nationalist Spain, and needed a lot more time to refurbish the Nation's Economy and Army.
Hahaha. The Italians where mocked by the Nationalist side (Franco's) themselves because of their cowardice. Look up for the Battle of Guadalajara. There are even jocking couplets dedicated to them
Where did you hear that? Italians barely participated on air bombing campaings, they took advantage of the war as a training platform for their novel air force.
Los alemanes también apoyaron al bando nacional (fascistas) de hecho probaron todos sus nuevos "juguetes" en España, justo antes de que "empezara" la ll.G.M
Destacar que el golpe de Estado de julio de 1936 contra la Segunda República española comenzó en Melilla el 17 de julio de 1936 y de allí se extendió al Protectorado español de Marruecos y a las Islas Canarias, quedando también ambos territorios en zona franquista. Fue clave el puente aéreo entre el Protectorado y las provincias de Cádiz y Sevilla para trasladar las tropas coloniales de Marruecos a la Península para marchar hasta Madrid.
No sé si llamarlo "golpe de estado". Dos años antes hubo otro parecido del PSOE contra el gobierno republicano legítimamente elegido (no como en las elecciones de febrero del 36) y ha pasado a la historia como "Revolución de Asturias". Como dice el dicho: o todos moros...
The figure of 500-600K mean only the total number of KILLED (both troops and CIVILIANS). Global averages in wars are quite consistent and state that KILLED people account for only 20% of victims. Therefore, you need to multiply 500,000 by 80 (= 4,000,000) or 600 by 80 (=4,800,000) to include the WOUNDED (both troops and CIVILIANS) who were also VICTIMS. This gives you a range of 500,000 killed + 4,000,000 wounded = 4,500,000 VICTIMS to 600,000 killed + 4,800,000 wounded = 5,400,000 VICTIMS. Now, in 1936 the total population of all of Spain was 24,810,000 people (100%). The total number of victims in the Civil War years (1936-1939, not including the terrible starvation and deprivation victims of the postwar years) is therefore a range of 18.14% to 21.77%. To put that in perspective, during WW2 the country with the highest percentage of victims was Poland, with a record 17% of population (and the efforts of the very efficient Nazi machine, and the less efficient but more brutal Soviet machine). This makes the Spanish Civil War MUCH MORE BRUTAL than WW2. And in a shorter timespan. Without the huge military numbers involved in WW2. It is scientifically IMPOSSIBLE that the "total casualties" (I suppose you mean indeed both killed and wounded) could ever be "just" 500,000 or 600,000. We both know that the number of "1,000,000" dead was roughly the double of the real number, and it served both the propaganda of the defeated Republicans and of the triumphant Francoists.
Cool video! As I’m Spanish I need to express how funny/unfortunate the choice of colours is from my perspective. To represent the side of Nationals you could find better than red. 😅

My grandfather and his brother were born and lived through the Spanish Civil War. My father was recruited by the national patriots, while his brother was recruited by the rats and tyrants of the republics. My grandfather's brother died in the Battle of the Ebro. After the war, my grandfather continued in the army until he was promoted to general. After my father was born, he moved with his wife to Chile and there he lived through September 11, 1973 in Chile. He staunchly supported the military junta until the last day that the military junta was in power. After I was born, I am part of the army. My father told me stories about my grandfather and told me that many Spaniards fought for the side that recruited them first. Today, my relatives are divided. My uncles are very patriotic and support General President Augusto Pinochet, while my aunts and cousins are communist reds through and through, you can tell right away from their vocabulary. Although I dislike my aunts for their ideology, they are still family members. My father and my family, when we meet and talk about politics, the hatred that exists between us is immediately evident. My father also told me that the Chilean population before 1973 and after the end of the military junta in 1990 is still very divided. Many people despise Allende's unconstitutional spoon, while others support the military junta and others support the left. Finally, my father told me that his father told him that the Spanish people before the war were very divided between Falangist patriots and communist republicans. The conclusion of my story is that there is always hatred between people even if several generations pass.
The speech in 1:06 was not made in 1936 but in 1938, after the battle of the Ebro, when Republican defeat was inevitable. The video (apart from the little extract you played) is lost, but we still have all the voice recording of that speech, which Azaña made with no paper or notes. It is called Paz, Piedad y Perdón (Peace, Mercy and Forgiveness) and is a message about reconciliation when the war ends.
The fascist side had most of the proffesional army and the best troops (the army of Africa). The republican side survived the coup thanks to the movilization of trade unions militias.
The sergeants of the Army were supporting Whites even more ardently than the generals! The chevalry was White. And yes, the Reds were mobilising the most trade unions. So the numerical disproportion of 1936 was not so drastic: trade union columns without adequate sergeants and corporals against the systematic army and gendarmerie.
When you break down a war to just numbers then yeah maybe you could come to that conclusion, however in reality the fascists had military support from basically the entirety of the axis
Lets say people divided in two, but the revolted army had to came from Morocco, where they had been posted by the gouvernment at the time the coup was planified
Hoi isn't that inaccurate for a long time except the stupid anarchist uprising that ruin everything. But the starting borders are kinda accurate and the position of international support. That being said economy is very inaccurate as republic should be waaaaaay stronger in that regard but nationalists start only a little bit weaker and after taking Bilbao they are actually stronger industrial wise.

My great-grandfather died in this war shortly after my grandfather was born. This war marked my entire family, and when I look at the photo of my great-grandfather in uniform I see a true hero.
This war pitted friend against friend and even brother against brother in the frontline. Im spanish and these are common stories from grandparents/older people.
Sometimes you have to give it to the people who want it more. The republican forces just flopped over and took it, despite outnumbering the fascists 3 to 1 and the fact they had all these foreign volunteers and support.
The Fascists also received a ton of support from Germany and Italy. And other than the USSR many other countries were reluctant to help since the republicans were communists
The allies didn't give enough. The Soviets tried but without French intervention or UK it was basically a hopeless cause. Add in the Republicans infighting with liberal parties and the anti communism and yeah they basically got dusted. They should not have lost this war.
I'm spanish and watching this hurted so much. So many dead people. So many kids forced to fight. It's absurd. The worst thing, we learnt NOTHING from all those dead. We are still divided like we were in the past. No politician has come to unite Spain, they always want us divided to create hate and gain more votes. Fuck all of them, Spain doesn't deserve this. I just dream for a better tomorrow on my country, because I love it so much, yet it's so hard to not leave the country for a better place in Europe.
Franco saved you from communism dude… In my country the communists won and we suffered 60 years of hell. They annihilated the intellectuals and clergy and the business culture so totally that it’s taken us 30 years to recover maybe 10% of what we lost. They even blow up ancient churches! Imagine if your country had been subjected to that horror? The tombs of your kids and churches blown up. The Spanish culture being systematically taken apart piece by piece so all you can do is quote Marx or Lenin. You guys were so fucking lucky Franco saved your asses from that horror. By the way… the man who enabled the communists to win in my country was a certain man called Mehmet Shehu who fought on the Republican side in Spain… if only Franco had killed him!
That is because no judgement was made after Franco' dead. Everything continues the same and still the victims are searching for the bodies of their parents and grandparents (I think Spain is the seccond -if not the first- country with more people dissapeared in mass graves). The State has done nothing to repair all the crimes and to properly remember the victims, as other post-dictatorship-states did. In Spain, after 1975 omertá was imposed. It is not the propper way to heal wounds
@@feelcycling And its happening again with your beautiful garbage socialists igniting the flames. I think the solution is pretty f-ing obvious, outlaw leftism, put the King in power and keep it Catholic and keep it Spanish as socialists are acting against Spanish interests.
My great-grandfather had to fight with the Republicans because depending on who got first to the place where you lived, they recruited you and you had no other option. But then he managed to switch to the other side, that of the “rebels” or “sublevados”. Republicans almost killed him for deserting and rebels for thinking that he was from the other side. So he told what they did because he had been on both sides and he said that one of the reasons why the Republicans lost the war was that they destroyed and burned everything in their path so when they had to retreat they had no supplies and they also began to have disagreements and kill each other.
@@masfishing3614indeed but still if spain was communist im sure the nazis would have invaded and ravaged the country. Also those troops he sent were officially "volunteers" because Spain was technically "neutral" even if Franco had sympathies for the Nazis
Republic wasnt communist but they didnt have any other ally that tried to help them in any way. You may never heard of it but 2nd biggest "ally" of the republic was probably Poland which was selling outdated equipment, that's how bad the situation was for them. If the republic would win they would try to cut off soviet influence.
@@aulus3792 at the beginning it was quite plural, but at the end of the war everything was controlled by people and ideas close to the USSR. The dissolution of the "milicias populares" and the creation of the "Ejército Popular de la República", and the repression against anarchists and parties considered "lukewarm" or Trotskyists was the turning point that led to this.
Porque solo un bando ilegítimo atacó al gobierno democrático del país. Y sin embargo, gran parte de los soldados muertos no fueron voluntariamente con ninguno.
Well, the advance of the Franco's army was from South to North, Badajoz es the first battle and was attacked by the army from Africa, not as the video, you forgot the battle of Toledo and Guadarrama battle in the south of Madrid also Teruel was a subleved city, was taken by Republic's army and retaken by Franco, in the North also are mistakes and so, well it is difficult
This was hardly a war, but a proffesional army dealing with a bunch of bullies used to intimidate priests and farmers, who suddenly had to face many of the most veteran units in the country. They just got stomped over.
There are tons of stories of attrocities commited by the side that you are deffending, that was also full of bullies. You are only seeing half of the problem.
@@carlsderder Im not siding with anybody. Im saying this was an asymmetric war where one side had close to none proffesional units and absolutely no veteran units but was full of "freedom fighters" and sticks.When you have to take territory and conquer land your skills in intimidation and bar fights isnt as useful as marching 20miles in one day through rough terrain and forming battle lines with discipline afterwards. A better strategy for the blue colored side would have been a gerrilla war, but I assume that fighting your own people that knows as well as you the terrain you are dealing with is not as useful as it was for example in the Napoleonic wars against the french.
@@neruba2173 i agree with you, i dont reject that information, i reject the part where you say the thing about bullies, as it implies that the national side was not full of bullies. To me, that is obviously taking a side, as some stranger could think that nationalists where civilized and religious while republicans where barbarian murderers killing priests and farmers. The real story is that nationalists had generals that made radio programs telling people to rape women and other kind of barbarian things.
@@carlsderder I dont know about any of that. I know there are attrocities through out history made in the context of a war, and attrocities that ignited the war itself. While attrocities are equally reprehensible I can see a difference there. Also, I understand that the spanish civil war is probably the only war in history where the aftermath and history was written by the losing side, not the winning side. So at least they won the ideological and propaganda battle, which is an important one imo.
@@neruba2173 you just erased 40 years of dictatorship from history. I'm aware of the crimes before during and after the war that happened on both sides. If "you dont know about that" when im talking about nationalists raping women maybe you don't know a lot about Spain.

Always interesting to consider the high amount of foreign volunteers and foreign legions sent there by states (including the USSR Italy and Germany) that all participated in the civil war. Kind of gives you a feeling that this was a 20th century European proxy war.
Interesting, never thought of it like that
Well it was. If their side loses they also lose the opportunity to get an ally and worse, risking it falling into the enemies hands and joining them
A lot of Irish too strangely
Right, kind of the first battle against fascism. But the Allies decided to maintain Franco's regime
It was a WW2 proxy war though
There are a few minor incorrections, but generally a good work.
Incorrections include:
- Not placing the italians at the helm of the Malaga Ofensive in early 1937, neither at the fall of Bilbao in mid'37.
- Not representing the Republican offensive at Teruel in late 1937 (which actually managed to seize the city, albeit shortly)
- Not representing the Nationalist advance towards Valencia in the spring of 1938, which was stopped around Segorbe in what became the last republican victory of the war
- Leaving the Germans idle around Seville, when the Legion Condor was in fact moving around constantly in support of the Nationalists in most of the relevant battles of the war.
But good work anyway. Your video is well worth watching.

My portuguese great grandfather worked in france as a mechanic at that time was caught in middle of the conflict as he was passing spain and got arrested by the spanish military , good thing is that it was close to Portugal and after some days in military custody some spanish guards let him go in the middle of the night ,"vaya portugues , rapido rapido " and he manage to cross the border back to Portugal 😂
Pissing off Portugal would've been a MAJOR mistake for either side, with Spain divided like that Portugal could've easily swooped in and turned the war in either direction it wished (the fact they supported Franco can be seen as one of the main reasons for early Fracoist success), so he was never really in any danger they were always going to have to let him go, this is not just modern day Portugal, it was colonial Portugal, that could've easily pulled up like a million soldiers like it was nothing from it's African colonies, not a nation you'd want to anger
@@liquidsnake6879 why would 1 million africans help the portuguese
1 million definetly not, but africans were a major part of the colonial garrisons and they activelly fougth in the colonial wars against the rebels@@New_frisk

So there wasn't the same distinction that there might be now about the "Portuguese" being a separate people that you're going to "help" you're just being conscripted by your nation same as if Angola called you up today.

Two of my great-grandfathers fought in this war. One in each side. Many common soldiers didn't fight in the side they wanted (they didn't even want to fight), but they fought in the side that came first to their village and recruited them; they had no other choice, or they would have been shot right there. One of my great-grandfathers died in a battle in Galicia, he was one of those numbers that rise so fast in the first years of the war. The other had better luck, after serving long time in such a horror, he could desert during the battle of Ebro, crossing the river swimming and escaping to France. He was "enslaved" by the French, forced to work in the mines, until he could come back home after the war. In his absence, my great-grandmother, with her mother and sisters, survived by smuggling of goods hidden in fake-bellies (they pretended to be pregnant). Those were hard times for all Spanish society. Not to mention all the crimes and mass murders of civilians commited by both sides.
It was not a war of good vs. bad, or right vs. wrong. It was a bloody disaster for our society, that all people had to suffer, all families were touched by it, and we are still bleeding from it, since many people even in Spain only focus on the crimes of "the other side", instead of acknowledging the history as shameful as it was in its full.
Yes but Franco and the other we in fact generals so they treason Spain. They received help from Hitler and and Mussolini then reasoned them. Then they said fighting a crusade... Let African provinces in hands of the neighbours... Republic was legitimate, the fascist only were lucky during cold war period
@@alejandrorivera1812A yes, those facts are true, but they are not the whole story. Despite the republican government was "legitimate", that doesn't mean it was good. The years before the war were full of injustice, State terrorism, burning of churches, political assassinations, and many other abuses of power that resulted in many people being unfairly treated, tortured or even murdered. The Spanish second republic is often (and sadly) glorified as if it was a great period, when it was far from just ok. Half of the country did not went into rebellion because they were evil fascists that wanted to destroy the country: the fascists, as in any country were they reached power, fed on the social crisis that the State was facing, bringing hope to desperate people who fell into the fascist populism because they wanted change to end the madness they lived in. Of course none of that justifies the horrible crimes comited by Franco and his fascist dictatorship; but in the same way, the fact that the "legitimate" republican goverment was destroyed by the fascists does not erase all the crimes that the republic had commited against the population before (and during) the war.
@@DeathMoonKnight wow, rare to see someone on the internet who actually has a well-informed and nuanced take that takes into account all sides and biases of the historical area he is talking about. Quite glad to see that people like you are still around.

@@fierylightning3422 thanks, it's indeed quite difficult to stay objective and seek the truth in our polarized society. Sadly, Spain is still deeply divided, and our politics are taken by populism full of hate for "the others". I don't know if we will ever be able to overcome such divisions. The way people tend to blindly "choose one team" in wars as if they were just football games, even with current conflicts (e.g. Israel vs. Palestine), is sick. Nothing good will ever come from believing that in wars one side is full of evil people and the other is full of saints who always do the right things.
@@DeathMoonKnight as a Spaniard i like your take, Calvo Sotelo was the guy you were thinking i guess, a right wing politician who was taken from his house by republican cops and murdered, by many this is considered the break point of peace in Spain and the main reason the african military raise against the republic

Canción popular española sobre la guerra civil, basada en una historia real:
Caminando por el bosque
En el suelo vi que había
Una carta ensangrentada
De cuarenta años hacia
Era de un paracaidista
De la octava compañía
Que a su madre le escribía
Y la carta así decía
Madre anoche en las trincheras
Entre el fuego y la metralla
Vía al enemigo correr
La noche estaba cerrada
Apunte con mi fusil
Al tiempo que disparaba
Y una luz que iluminó
El rostro que yo mataba
Era mi amigo José
Compañero de la escuela
Con quien tanto yo jugué
A soldados y a trincheras
Ahora el juego era verdad
Y a mi amigo ya lo entierran
Madre yo quiero morir
Ya estoy harto de esta guerra
Madre si vuelvo a escribir
Tal vez sea desde el cielo
Donde encontrare a José
Y jugaremos de nuevo
Si mi sangre fuera tinta
Y mi corazón tintero
Con las sangre de mis venas
Te escribiría: Te quiero
Carta original:
Querida madre, no sé como empezar esta carta pero te escribo con mi rostro bañado en lagrimas, caen por la soledad, tristeza, dolor y sufrimiento que vivo día tras día aquí. Lo primero que tengo que decirte es Te Quiero y aunque no lo demuestre con frecuencia, Te quiero con locura, para mi eres la persona más importante, siempre has estado ahí apoyándome y protegiéndome, haces que las cosas malas parezcan buenas, tus consejos están llenos de sabiduría y siempre me has llevado por el buen camino. Ahora ya soy mayor de edad, tengo dieciocho años, puedo afrontar yo solo las cosas... pero la verdad es que no puedo madre... Perdóname, os hecho mucho de menos, ¡no quiero estar aquí! Se que desde casa junto a padre y mis hermanos os sentís orgullos de mi, podéis presumir de tener un hijo en el frente. Lo siento por ser un cobarde madre pero tengo miedo, más del que puedo aguantar. No entiendo esta guerra, no se cual es el bando bueno, no sé por qué lucho, no entiendo nada de lo que pasa, solo acato ordenes. El incesante sonido de los fusiles se mezclan con los gritos y llantos de la gente torturando mis oídos día y noche, vivo con una melodía continua de ametralladoras y lluvias constantes de bombarderos. Ya no hablo ni pienso, porque otros lo hacen por mi, solo me hace falta una frase para salir del paso aquí, “a la orden”. Dicen que el amor es suficiente para seguir adelante, que hay que luchar por nuestras familias, demostrar lo que valemos, pero ya no tengo el valor para estar en la batalla, las piernas me tiemblan sin parar, no duermo, me cuesta respirar, lloro a escondidas porque no puedo demostrar lo que siento delante de mis compañeros, se fuerte y lucha me repito constantemente, pero las palabras se pierden en mi mente como las vidas de la gente que esta a mi alrededor, soy la marioneta de un tirano titiritero. A noche nos lanzaron en paracaídas a una zona nueva de batalla, dicen que somos la mejor compañía jamás vista, la fuerza de los ochos nos llaman. La octava compañía paracaidista, siempre al frente luchando por su patria, por los ideales de un estado, viviendo el conflicto con lealtad y valor. Somos soldados valerosos, abrimos brechas en las filas enemigas, causamos bajas en ellos como si fueran animales y no tenemos remordimientos, pero todo es mentira pura mentira, solo fachada, una apariencia; los rostros de la gente demuestran lo contrario, sus caras se han tronado sombrías y pálidas, muestran el temor, horror y desamparo que se vive aquí, pero como nos repiten una y otra vez, “¡soldados o ellos o ustedes!” Madre para lo que realmente te escribo es para contarte lo que me ocurrió anoche. Me encontraba en el campo de batalla resguardándome del fuego cruzado y la metralla. Como siempre acataba ordenes, teníamos que superar una cota para llegar hasta un punto estratégico que nos serviría de base, para ello era necesario abatir al contrario con toda nuestra fuerza, no escatimamos en munición, ni violencia... Madre anoche en las trincheras vía al enemigo correr hacia mi, le apunte con mi fusil y sin darle tiempo a reaccionar le dispare; algo raro paso en ese momento, ya había matado a más gente antes pero en aquel chicho había algo distinto, una luz ilumino su rostro, la cara del enemigo al que asesinaba… madre era mi amigo José, mi compañero de la escuela, nuestro vecino, el hijo de Francisca, mi mejor amigo, con quien tanto yo jugué a soldados y a trincheras. Madre ahora el juego es verdad, no hay risas, solo oscuridad y llantos, no volveremos a jugar jamás, ¡lo están enterrando! Lo siento muchísimo, te pido perdón madre pero ya no aguanto mas aquí, me quiero morir, estoy harto de esta guerra, ¡no se dan cuenta que no va a ganar nadie joder! Tal vez te vuelva a escribir, pero la próxima que lo haga será desde el cielo, donde encontrare a José y jugaremos de nuevo. Madre ten por seguro que si mi sangre fuera tinta y mi corazón tintero, con la sangre de mi venas, te escribiría un “TE QUIERO”.
Hasta siempre.

@@aksmex2576You're crazy
we wanted bread, water and light after the war. We were busy making babies and have almost no people to make experiment with ...
It wasn't. Casualties include wounded, captured, etc... Note in the video how in the last days, when the Republic collapses, the number of republican casualties goes up by exactly the same amount of republican troops left before the collapse. The Nationalist casualties figure is less affected by surrendered troops, and if you apply the general principle of 20% dead 80% wounded, then you get close to the figures in wikipedia, which only account for dead soldiers. Then you have to add up the people murdered by rearguard repression in both sides, which should amount to aproximately 60k executions by the republicans and 150k by the nationalists (including post-war executions). If you add civilian deaths from famine, bombings, etc... you will get a final death toll of about half a million people.
Colours are inverted, because in the right side were Socialist and comunist must go on red, and the enemies at the left were the "blue army" (el ejército azul).

Sí, es muy comentado el hecho de cómo Franco fue asegurando los territorios ganados en vez de avanzar terreno. Hay que tener en cuenta que detrás de las filas, en los propios territorios ganados seguían pasando cosas feas para evitar nuevos alzamientos.
Por otra parte, el inicio fue repentino por el crudo contexto de la época, de hecho, en muchos cuarteles alzados se escuchaba el himno de la República, aunque al final todos los alzados se adscribieron al futuro dictador Franco.
Volviendo al tema de la lentitud, muchos de los esfuerzos de la guerra se centran en Asturias (Norte) y Cataluña (Noreste), dos frentes muy complicados y que, una vez resueltos, era fácil prever que los demás se rendirían.

@@davidlopez6703nationalists executing thousands of civilians isn't evil to you ?
Yeah Tolkien was clearly closer to fascism than socialism, to say the least.
Tolkien abhorred of totalitarianism, the Soviet one even more than the nazi. Most people believe the nationalists were a bunch of bad guys who toppled a proper democratic regime, like the French Republic or the UK. But it was very far from that. The Communists and anarchists and such wanted a proletarian revolution (they failed the coup in 34). The nationalist coup of 36 was bound to happen. Also, the spanish fascists acquired ten times the influence and importance at the onset. They were few before the war. Later Franco got them in his pocket, for he was no fascist, but the staunchest “Franquista” of them all.
Una de las historias más tristes de este país. A día de hoy, aún tenemos heridas y nos cuesta remontar aquel momento.

Porque no interesa a los políticos para poder ir vareandote a donde quieren.
En mi opinión el mayor lastre que tiene España fue la guerra civil que todavía nos divide. No hay nada que una más un país que una guerra contra un enemigo externo, mientras en Europa lo hicieron aquí luchamos entre nosotros.
@@sombra3939 Mira lo q te digo q yo creo q la guerra civil fuel a gota q colmó el vaso eh... Para mi todo esto empezó en el 1700 con la guerra de sucesión, donde, por primera vez, se ejerció represión hacía una de las coronas, provocando mal estar. De ahí solo hemos ido cuesta abajo, en mi opinión.

Mis abuelos tuvieron que emigrar a Venezuela durante la guerra y no pudieron volver hasta que murió Franco y aun después, vivieron con miedo el resto de sus vidas por temor a que les vinieran a buscar a sus casas cualquier noche mientras dormían para asesinarlos. Es por eso que odio tanto a los políticos que tenemos ahora que solo piensan en dividir a la población. Esa guerra no la ganó nadie y parece que algunos todavía no se han dado cuenta. España es un país muy bonito pero su gente es tóxica.
Not my feelings of actually living in Spain. I can compare it to the Dutch, where I originally come from. The Dutch are much more racist and xenophobe than the average Spanish person. However, yes, there are complete idiots. I mean, look at what they are doing now against the democratically chosen and wise PM Pedro Sanchez. It's a big disgrace! But. They shouldn't talk and complain if the Catalans will push for independence if there would come an extreme right wing government in Madrid. I will fully support the Catalan cause. Without a doubt! Even though I prefer Real Madrid over FC Barcelona 😂
Ahora los socialistas españoles están robando en maletas el oro de Venezuela, como en su día lo hicieron con el de España. El socialismo no cambia nunca.

The Italians really helped out Franco's Forces. The were at the Assault Forefront when big maneuvers happened, and one of the many reasons Italy performed less in WW2 was because italy was bankrupt from supporting and supplying Nationalist Spain, and needed a lot more time to refurbish the Nation's Economy and Army.
By 1938 80% of soldiers in the Italian CTV were spanish so they weren't that ''helpful''
Hahaha. The Italians where mocked by the Nationalist side (Franco's) themselves because of their cowardice. Look up for the Battle of Guadalajara. There are even jocking couplets dedicated to them
My granddather fought with nationalist as a young captain and he said italians would here a shot and run away quickly. They never saw it as their war
Where did you hear that? Italians barely participated on air bombing campaings, they took advantage of the war as a training platform for their novel air force.
Los alemanes también apoyaron al bando nacional (fascistas) de hecho probaron todos sus nuevos "juguetes" en España, justo antes de que "empezara" la ll.G.M
Thank you Franco for your service to Christianity. A true hero for Spain.
If you want to know how was Spain in July, 1936, pls look at current Venezuela. This can help you to understand what happened
Deberíais haber puesto los colores al revés, habría sido más intuitivo, porque La República utilizaba el Rojo y los Nacionales el Azul.
Destacar que el golpe de Estado de julio de 1936 contra la Segunda República española comenzó en Melilla el 17 de julio de 1936 y de allí se extendió al Protectorado español de Marruecos y a las Islas Canarias, quedando también ambos territorios en zona franquista. Fue clave el puente aéreo entre el Protectorado y las provincias de Cádiz y Sevilla para trasladar las tropas coloniales de Marruecos a la Península para marchar hasta Madrid.
No sé si llamarlo "golpe de estado". Dos años antes hubo otro parecido del PSOE contra el gobierno republicano legítimamente elegido (no como en las elecciones de febrero del 36) y ha pasado a la historia como "Revolución de Asturias". Como dice el dicho: o todos moros...
Fue una revolución contra la tiranía de la República de izquierdas.
Gracias a Dios por el levantamiento contra la inmundicia comunista.

The figure of 500-600K mean only the total number of KILLED (both troops and CIVILIANS).
Global averages in wars are quite consistent and state that KILLED people account for only 20% of victims.
Therefore, you need to multiply 500,000 by 80 (= 4,000,000) or 600 by 80 (=4,800,000) to include the WOUNDED (both troops and CIVILIANS) who were also VICTIMS.
This gives you a range of 500,000 killed + 4,000,000 wounded = 4,500,000 VICTIMS to 600,000 killed + 4,800,000 wounded = 5,400,000 VICTIMS.
Now, in 1936 the total population of all of Spain was 24,810,000 people (100%).
The total number of victims in the Civil War years (1936-1939, not including the terrible starvation and deprivation victims of the postwar years) is therefore a range of 18.14% to 21.77%.
To put that in perspective, during WW2 the country with the highest percentage of victims was Poland, with a record 17% of population (and the efforts of the very efficient Nazi machine, and the less efficient but more brutal Soviet machine).
This makes the Spanish Civil War MUCH MORE BRUTAL than WW2. And in a shorter timespan. Without the huge military numbers involved in WW2.
It is scientifically IMPOSSIBLE that the "total casualties" (I suppose you mean indeed both killed and wounded) could ever be "just" 500,000 or 600,000. We both know that the number of "1,000,000" dead was roughly the double of the real number, and it served both the propaganda of the defeated Republicans and of the triumphant Francoists.

Amazing video, so well put together, thank you!
My grandfather and his brother were born and lived through the Spanish Civil War. My father was recruited by the national patriots, while his brother was recruited by the rats and tyrants of the republics. My grandfather's brother died in the Battle of the Ebro. After the war, my grandfather continued in the army until he was promoted to general. After my father was born, he moved with his wife to Chile and there he lived through September 11, 1973 in Chile. He staunchly supported the military junta until the last day that the military junta was in power. After I was born, I am part of the army. My father told me stories about my grandfather and told me that many Spaniards fought for the side that recruited them first. Today, my relatives are divided. My uncles are very patriotic and support General President Augusto Pinochet, while my aunts and cousins are communist reds through and through, you can tell right away from their vocabulary. Although I dislike my aunts for their ideology, they are still family members. My father and my family, when we meet and talk about politics, the hatred that exists between us is immediately evident. My father also told me that the Chilean population before 1973 and after the end of the military junta in 1990 is still very divided. Many people despise Allende's unconstitutional spoon, while others support the military junta and others support the left. Finally, my father told me that his father told him that the Spanish people before the war were very divided between Falangist patriots and communist republicans. The conclusion of my story is that there is always hatred between people even if several generations pass.

War sucks, but this channel is fucking awesome.
What a war that was. I'm kind of surprised at how little I was taught about it.
Spanish civil war was prelude to the World War II.
🇵🇹: 🍿
The speech in 1:06 was not made in 1936 but in 1938, after the battle of the Ebro, when Republican defeat was inevitable. The video (apart from the little extract you played) is lost, but we still have all the voice recording of that speech, which Azaña made with no paper or notes. It is called Paz, Piedad y Perdón (Peace, Mercy and Forgiveness) and is a message about reconciliation when the war ends.
The fact that bro know exactly how much troops there was in a single day then changed that for 1 frame is insane
That's an amazing disaster
To outnumber your opponent 3 to 1 and still lose
The fascist side had most of the proffesional army and the best troops (the army of Africa). The republican side survived the coup thanks to the movilization of trade unions militias.
The sergeants of the Army were supporting Whites even more ardently than the generals! The chevalry was White.
And yes, the Reds were mobilising the most trade unions.
So the numerical disproportion of 1936 was not so drastic: trade union columns without adequate sergeants and corporals against the systematic army and gendarmerie.
When you break down a war to just numbers then yeah maybe you could come to that conclusion, however in reality the fascists had military support from basically the entirety of the axis
@@Yemadas it's nationalist not fascist
@@ajik-ruijiesame thing. When your best friends are Hitler and Mussolini then you're a fascist.
But I thought the 50/50 split in land control happens on day 1 of the Spanish Civil War. It says so in hoi4!
Lets say people divided in two, but the revolted army had to came from Morocco, where they had been posted by the gouvernment at the time the coup was planified
Hoi isn't that inaccurate for a long time except the stupid anarchist uprising that ruin everything. But the starting borders are kinda accurate and the position of international support. That being said economy is very inaccurate as republic should be waaaaaay stronger in that regard but nationalists start only a little bit weaker and after taking Bilbao they are actually stronger industrial wise.
HOI4 thinks Vikund Quisling was able to muster a large army and navy while also taking complete control of Oslo hours into the German invasion of Norway. Paradox makes fantasy games.
@@dillonhunt1720 Paradox forgot about Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and forget that Warsaw wasnt captured in quick raid and that it was held until the last days of war while being totally encircled and cut off from anything and that Poland didnt surrender right away after losing it like France which is ruled by Blum because they forgot about Daladier and many more.

My great-grandfather died in this war shortly after my grandfather was born. This war marked my entire family, and when I look at the photo of my great-grandfather in uniform I see a true hero.
The Anarchists should have been given a different colour since they ended up fighting both sides at the end of the war.
This war pitted friend against friend and even brother against brother in the frontline.
Im spanish and these are common stories from grandparents/older people.
Sometimes you have to give it to the people who want it more. The republican forces just flopped over and took it, despite outnumbering the fascists 3 to 1 and the fact they had all these foreign volunteers and support.
The Fascists also received a ton of support from Germany and Italy.
And other than the USSR many other countries were reluctant to help since the republicans were communists
The allies didn't give enough. The Soviets tried but without French intervention or UK it was basically a hopeless cause. Add in the Republicans infighting with liberal parties and the anti communism and yeah they basically got dusted. They should not have lost this war.

I just dream for a better tomorrow on my country, because I love it so much, yet it's so hard to not leave the country for a better place in Europe.
Franco saved you from communism dude…
In my country the communists won and we suffered 60 years of hell. They annihilated the intellectuals and clergy and the business culture so totally that it’s taken us 30 years to recover maybe 10% of what we lost. They even blow up ancient churches! Imagine if your country had been subjected to that horror? The tombs of your kids and churches blown up. The Spanish culture being systematically taken apart piece by piece so all you can do is quote Marx or Lenin.
You guys were so fucking lucky Franco saved your asses from that horror.
By the way… the man who enabled the communists to win in my country was a certain man called Mehmet Shehu who fought on the Republican side in Spain… if only Franco had killed him!
That is because no judgement was made after Franco' dead. Everything continues the same and still the victims are searching for the bodies of their parents and grandparents (I think Spain is the seccond -if not the first- country with more people dissapeared in mass graves).
The State has done nothing to repair all the crimes and to properly remember the victims, as other post-dictatorship-states did. In Spain, after 1975 omertá was imposed. It is not the propper way to heal wounds

@@royale7620not only a fascist but also a monarchist, god does punish twice
And the bolcheviks criminals? Those who murdered Calvo Sotelo.
My great-grandfather had to fight with the Republicans because depending on who got first to the place where you lived, they recruited you and you had no other option.
But then he managed to switch to the other side, that of the “rebels” or “sublevados”. Republicans almost killed him for deserting and rebels for thinking that he was from the other side.
So he told what they did because he had been on both sides and he said that one of the reasons why the Republicans lost the war was that they destroyed and burned everything in their path so when they had to retreat they had no supplies and they also began to have disagreements and kill each other.
If the Republic won the war. I couldn't imagined how communist Spain will interact with USSR in the cold war after WW2 ended
Spain wouldve been devastated by WW2 had the Republic won. Franco was able to keep Spain neutral and rebuild
@@miliba Neutral? he sent troops to fight URSS along the nazis
@@masfishing3614indeed but still if spain was communist im sure the nazis would have invaded and ravaged the country. Also those troops he sent were officially "volunteers" because Spain was technically "neutral" even if Franco had sympathies for the Nazis
Republic wasnt communist but they didnt have any other ally that tried to help them in any way. You may never heard of it but 2nd biggest "ally" of the republic was probably Poland which was selling outdated equipment, that's how bad the situation was for them. If the republic would win they would try to cut off soviet influence.
@@aulus3792 at the beginning it was quite plural, but at the end of the war everything was controlled by people and ideas close to the USSR.

My great grandfather fought in the battle of ebre. And survived to live 50 years more in incognito ( he was a jewish republican )
This was hardly a war, but a proffesional army dealing with a bunch of bullies used to intimidate priests and farmers, who suddenly had to face many of the most veteran units in the country. They just got stomped over.
There are tons of stories of attrocities commited by the side that you are deffending, that was also full of bullies. You are only seeing half of the problem.
@@carlsderder Im not siding with anybody. Im saying this was an asymmetric war where one side had close to none proffesional units and absolutely no veteran units but was full of "freedom fighters" and sticks.When you have to take territory and conquer land your skills in intimidation and bar fights isnt as useful as marching 20miles in one day through rough terrain and forming battle lines with discipline afterwards. A better strategy for the blue colored side would have been a gerrilla war, but I assume that fighting your own people that knows as well as you the terrain you are dealing with is not as useful as it was for example in the Napoleonic wars against the french.
@@neruba2173 i agree with you, i dont reject that information, i reject the part where you say the thing about bullies, as it implies that the national side was not full of bullies. To me, that is obviously taking a side, as some stranger could think that nationalists where civilized and religious while republicans where barbarian murderers killing priests and farmers. The real story is that nationalists had generals that made radio programs telling people to rape women and other kind of barbarian things.
@@carlsderder I dont know about any of that. I know there are attrocities through out history made in the context of a war, and attrocities that ignited the war itself. While attrocities are equally reprehensible I can see a difference there. Also, I understand that the spanish civil war is probably the only war in history where the aftermath and history was written by the losing side, not the winning side. So at least they won the ideological and propaganda battle, which is an important one imo.
@@neruba2173 you just erased 40 years of dictatorship from history. I'm aware of the crimes before during and after the war that happened on both sides. If "you dont know about that" when im talking about nationalists raping women maybe you don't know a lot about Spain.
