Can you do the american revolution? Havent seen it yets
I just saw the thumbnail and it looks like Franco looks like he is playing.
Which is around 1 division for hoi4 players
Quick question. How do you do this? Is it a website or is it in google earth? I really want to know
So you’re telling me the country didn’t just one day perfectly split in half like in hoi4??? 🤯🤯🤯
It got updated in Arms against Tyranny I reckon
@@Oscar-ys9yxIt did?
Haven’t seen any change yet in my game.
Since when does it perfectly split in half?
@@Oscar-ys9yxbut in the game there is an anarchist side in catalonia. I thought it was historical. That's not what happened?

Franco was the best Spanish leader ever
no wth?

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
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..

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.
there weren't 10k soldiers if there is no flag
А ещё не было испанских анархистов
The aerial bombing of Guernica killed ~1600 civilians, but the casualty counter only rises by a few hundred on April 26 1937.

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.
I think you mean lucky. Smart implies inconsiderate things about your family’s countrymen.
@@hahayouarefunnyYup you are right both smart and lucky moves. But if one of them passed away, I wouldn't have existed.
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)
I guess it's an USA thing, where the republicans are the right side and represented as red, while the left side is represented as blue.
@@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.
@@robert111k I think casualties includes also wounded, not only dead.
@@MarkHewitt1978 indeed i think that red is used for the attackants and blue for defenders
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 ,"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_Sguy
@@New_Sguy 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.

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
Spaniard here. My grandma once told me that her mother had two sons that fought in the Republican army, both died, and she said she would wear black for the rest of her life if any of them, or both, died. True story that really shows what every Spaniard had to live through at the time to fight for their family and friends, or even for ideology's sake, no matter if they were Nationalist or Republican.
Una guerra entre hermanos, provocada por los de Apocalipsis 2:9, creadores y directores del Comunismo y la Masonería.

I didn't know this war was so gruesome. Seems like it was a notable precursor to the second world war as well.
Alot of terror bombing of civilians by the Germans and Italians.
Indeed, it also a good testing ground for new technology for the soviet and german
Pretty sure the casualties were closer to 400-500k
@@peterthesneakybastarThis also includes captured or injured soldiers. The number you are thinking of are fatalities.
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.
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.
I'm Spanish and I think it's a great job. I think many of my fellow citizens, especially the younger ones, should watch this video. There is a lot of ignorance and double standards when it comes to telling this horrible civil war.

@@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.
Really puts it into perspective it was a war of attrition.
que locura verlo así. Si me hubiesen puesto este video antes de explicarme la guerra civil, la hubiese estudiado más motivado por aprender sobre ella
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.
He knew how evil the Republic was
based tolkien
@@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.
I have huge respect and love for Spain.
We appreciate that
Hi there! Great work video!
My great grandfather, one of them, was on republic side as volunteer after a luftwaffe warplane almost kill him on the mountais. His horse didn't had so luck an die. He told me terrible stories about, brothers fighting each other, it was very sad.
After the end of the war, he was continuing fighting in the mountains with other rebels. But unfortunately, the allies(EEUU, UK, ...) Didn't help republic side and my grear grandfather lost all hopes. He had to surrender, he almost die.

The USSR even tried to split the republicans further.
@DerDrako I know, I was referencing hearts of iron 4. The video doesn't really show the extent of allied and comintern support the Republicans received during the war and how infighting and the formation of different brigades hailing to their own political ideology was one of the main causes for them to lose the civil war altogether. The nationalist front was united in their goal of winning the war, where as the republic was too busy deciding what they would do after the war.

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.
Not fast! It was a failed coup that resulted in a 3 year slaughter of neighbours
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.

while the whole world was fighting, Spain was just on a side quest.
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.
Awesome, Thank You! Please do one about War of Paraguay: 1864 - 1870
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
Congratulations for your map.
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.
It took the nationalist side a long time to break the Republican side, but when they did, it was over really fast.
Thank you so much!
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. 😅
It's a NATO thing.. Red for attackers, blue for defenders.
(I know, it's a civil war.. I guess "attackers" are the ones going to change the regime, opposed to the ones that wanted to keep it).

It's so sad that, counterintuitively, Franco's ruthlessness is what extended the war for so long. Madrid was at his hand relatively early in the war, yet he chose, and stuck with "Victory without conditions" and, almost literally, bled the republican band to death, instead of granting them a dignified coup de grace early on. He knew full well what he was doing, and that, in order to save "his half" of the country, he would have to genuinely sacrifice almost the entirety of the "other half".
I'm glad Franco won but I'm glad Orwell didn't die also.

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.

I am from spain and my grandmother was a kid at the start of the war. She told me how the republicans send arround 20 men to asegurate the town and try burned the churc. From a bigger town near mine (arevalo) the guardia civil (like military police) came to the town and captured it for the nacionales. No more figthing happen and it stayed in nacional hand troufth all of the war. His father and 2 uncles when to war. All survive, and one was in a republican concentration camp
Asegurar = secure
What did your grandmother say about life under Franco?
Qué abuela dice lo que vida en España Franquista (no hablo bien castellano)
I always like how some people are shocked that some churches were burned to make the republicans look bad, but it doesn't seem to bother them that a democratic gov was destroyed by fascists who executed dozens of thousands of civilians during and after the war and did numerous crimes, torture, etc.
@@rocket1399 Mine was born in 1919 . She told me that even though laws were unfair to women, she liked that society much better than the 90´s under ¨democracy¨ and modern degeneracy.
@@rocket1399 That depends a lot on which side were you in. If you were a republican in fascist spain, you had it very very rough. If you were a fascist in the republic you had it very very rough. The thing is, a lot of people didn't want to take a side, so that made them the enemy or they were forced to fight. As you can see, a very dark time for a lot of people, before, during and after the civil war.

I always thought the Spanish Civil War had a strong claim to be considered a part of WW2, if not indeed the *outbreak* of WW2 in Europe.
Plainly it's thematically very similar- you have formal Soviet support making common cause with informal Western support backing up one proxy, and Italy and Germany backing up the other. Then there's the timing- the time between the end of the Spanish Civil War and the invasion of Poland was 5 months, and the time between the end of *that* and the invasion of France was 7 months... all seems part of a continuum to me.
Same with the Sino-Japanese element of the War before 1939. I've never really understood treating this war as being a *separate* war until the involvement of the West, and then a part of wider WW2.
I do sometimes wonder if it's not just Anglophone hubris that leads us to overlook these events.. on the basis that we weren't directly involved. Maybe that's going too far, but still...
In Asia Japanese invasion of China is considered WW2
It's a prequel to WW2. The nazis and Italians could try their weapons during this war to prepare themselves for the incoming war.
I mean yes, that is the conventional view. But I suppose my perspective is that this *undersells* the degree of connection with wider WW2
@@mwittmann68 I think that the whole concept of the powers of the ww2 trying their weapons in proxy wars is a bit wrong .
Like they didnt extract practically nothing from these wars that they could use it was a really different type of war
@@LeeZaslofsky It's not nearly as clear cut as that. As at 3 September 1939, only Germany, Poland, France, the UK, and some of their colonies or protectorates were at war, and from the French and British perspective, that wasn't much more than a proxy war.
A lot of the really big players- Italy, the USSR, the USA, or indeed anyone else in Europe- weren't involved at that point.
The Spanish Civil War saw outright proxy war between Germany, Italy, and the USSR and a very large number of foreign volunteers from almost every European state.
Personally, I don't see much of a difference. A proxy war is a very real thing- if not, there would be no Western-Russian conflict in Ukraine, which is just obviously wrong.
And of course, all of that ignores the Pacific Theatre, which was in a continuous state of international conflict (the Second Sino-Japanese War) from 1937 to 1945, though I accept we're talking about the European context.
😓😭😭We are repeating history. my grandparents died in this war
wich side?
Que mas da de que bando sean mameluco
They held the north for a few months eh? War seems to have been static for quite long periods. Hahah Would be cool if it was a period accurate map (with roadways, cities etc) as you can't forget how insanely much the world has built up the last 75 years. Like, easily doubled in size of settled areas, density etc.
Perhaps this helps someone understand a little more why Catalonia wants the independence. And how the present Spain was constructed. In any case, I don't think I have ever experienced such pain watching numbers grow.
Also the years of oppression that the people of Catalonia felt under Francos reign
Could you do one about the battle of Malaya and Singapore? The british really took a beating there during WW2.
In the pacific* because they were tied with more important matters like you know GERMANY
Imagine being the Portugese during this war. A bloody Civil War is happening literally just next door and there's nothing you can do but just wait it out and hope it doesn't spill over to Portugese land on accident (misfired rocket for example).

@@hotman_pt_ fine fine i retracted sorry
I am from Spain, 100% Valencian. This war was key to the history of Europe, once you see the real context.
I do not support the dictatorship, and the last towns to fall like:
-Castilla la Mancha: South center of the peninsula, just below Madrid. Its citizens were heavily punished even after the war and today they have the reputation of being pro-dictatorship, when they are very peaceful people, from whom the dictator extracted their industry, imposing laws that today do not allow them to industrialize. Its people were greatly humiliated after the war, and there are small towns and villages that were built around a certain factory that today was extracted to the north.
We Valencians had high executions and humiliations, which we continue to suffer to this day.
I just want to leave this message because in the last 4 years, history, along with bodybuilding, has become one of my passions and I have had to research hard and travel to be able to see this situation.
I include this message because many of my compatriots are unaware of all this.

This war pitted friend against friend and even brother against brother in the frontline.

Just cuz you're proud to be Spanish shouldn't mean you take pride in ALL of its history. This Civil War was not a shining part of Spanish history at all, especially with the fascists winning.
You have, señor! Viva Christo Rey!
@@maynardburger The righteous, Christian side winning is absolutely a shining part.
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.
La representación es mala, al principio de la guerra fue del sur hacia el norte pasando por Extremadura y parte de Andalucía con el objetivo de llegar a Madrid pero acabaron llegando a Toledo. También el desembarco a las islas de mallorca que ni siquiera esta. Por ultimo el final de la guerra, los republicano se rindieron en el 27 de marzo cuando los sublevados aun no habían conquistado ni castilla la nueva ni la comunidad valenciana.
It should be noted that the coup d'état of July 1936 against the Second Spanish Republic began in Melilla on July 17, 1936 and from there spread to the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco and the Canary Islands, both territories also remaining in the Franco zone. The air bridge between the Protectorate and the provinces of Cádiz and Seville was key to transferring the colonial troops from Morocco to the Peninsula to march to Madrid.

2.Communists got power mostly because Soviets were only major country supporting republicans. If democratic countries supported them democratic forces on the republican side would have much stronger position.
@@tefky7964 Hum yes they were. Any communist party has the goal of taking power. And they sure as hell would have if they weren't already in power if they won, and things would have been 10 times worst for post war spain.
And, why does it matter if it's "because democratic countries didn't support enough", the communists would have still taken power regardless which is the point. Even if more democratic support was given the communist would have attempted a takeover anyway. That's how communism works and has worked throughout history.
FYI: Catalonia was never a country or a kingdom, they love to try get people mistaken with it. They pretty much stole evything from the Kingdom of Valencia (later joined the Kingdom of Aragón): Their language, culture, history...
@@IAmTh3Doom So?
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

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

I played hoi4 so much that I needed this video to remeber how war really was going 😅
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.
