Could you cover Peter Kemp’s other two books?

14:00 Franco knew that the French wouldnt attack in fact, because french diplomats had told him. The reason is the same that why he didnt take Valencia in 1937 when he could or headed towards Toledo instead of Madrid in 1936: he knew he was going to win, but he wanted to inflict as many casualities as possible to the Republicans and test the loyalty of his generals for after the war
He also wanted to consolidate power inside the military junta. Originally, he was declared leader "as long as the war lasts". This meant that it was against his own interests to win before he knew he would be able to keep the power after.
He wanted to kill every socialist, catalan, or basque
Communist propaganda.
Really though? I know very little on the Spanish Civil War but won't any diplomat tell the country they're in that they are most definitely not going to invade them?
@@KaiHung-wv3ul i mean you just had to look at France at that time, and they were not ready to go to war anyways, and Franco knew. It was politically divided and its army and industry destroyed by the left wing parties directly obeying to Stalin. And often if you're going to invade someone, you threaten him first, in order to get what you want without fighting.

"That would involve the communists admitting they had made a mistake, and they never do that"
I love that quote
I loved your interpretation. In Spain, we are mostly told that the main reason the republic lost was a lack of international support, being Germany's and Italy's help much higher than that of the USSR.
Ikr
The reason the republic lost was because nationalism is a superior ideology, communists are evil filth, and anarchists are utterly useless.
We'll it's not completely wrong
That was the exact issue. The fascists had modern fighter and bomber support from Germany, and the Republicans had the garbage that they managed to scrap together during a Civil War.
@@Inoffensive_name I think this series made it abundantly clear that that was not the exact issue. Between the infighting and Stalinist infiltration, as well as overall bad leadership and terrible strategic decision making. Their few advantages were numbers and PR, the latter of which they squandered. They arguably didn't even have a moral advantage given the child soldiers the Republicans used, though that advantage largely depends on whether you think that is better or worse than leaning towards Nazi Germany.
Next time Finnish civil war it is pretty interesting and neighbors shot each other bc it was communism vs every other ideology that is not leftist.
Leftist infighting is always glorious
Sounds a lot like the Russian Civil War had the whites beaten the reds.
Yeah that would be really interesting, it was very short though.
The history of the leftists is pretty interesting, too. Two of the leading figures in the communist Red Guard: Otto Wille Kuusinen and Edvard Gylling were ardent nationalists early on who took inspiration from Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. While Kuusinen later became an internationalist, but Gylling still wanted to make a communist Greater Finland during the Civil War. After the Reds lost, Kuusinen became a yes-man for Kremlin and was pretty much responsible for most of the Finnish communist leadership getting executed for "nationalist chauvinism", including Gylling.
I want a video on this, I'm currently reading a book about it and its pretty interesting.😊
If I had a nickel for every time the anarchists were betrayed by the Soviets, I would have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but's weird that it happened twice, right?
Honestly, its weird that it didn't happen more
@@therealgeneralMacArthur literaly this

How did the Soviets betray the anarchists?
This is prob my fav CallMeEzekiel series ever, the Spanish Civil War is so underexplored but is deeply interesting, also interesting to learn that the German tactics used during the war was developed here in Spain
Most of the books covering it as well tends to be *insanely* biased, so Ezekiel's video is a rare breath of fresh air
@@DogeickBateman True that, I, being Spanish, tried VERY HARD, to find some non political biased book about the civil war, let me tell you, is fuking hard, the less political biased books i have are Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia" and Peter Kemp's recolection whose name i can't remember.
@@Defsould I read one of those Oxford Brief Introduction books written by some British academic lady and I realized halfway she wasn’t just a Republican, she was a communist.

Take their money, do not play the game.
We need a fps game focused on the more forgotten wars and campains of 30s.
Spanish Civil War, Italo-Ethiopian War, September Campaing, you get the idea.
I agree
there are some games about Spain but they're pretty old. I forget their names but I believe one might've been an old call of duty game, another kinda played like Arma, it might've been a mod, there was also a top down strategy one based on small house to house fighting where you move troops into and out of cover like crates and houses but it received controversy in spain because "It reminded people of the horrors of the war which they still have not gotten over" essentially.
@@delano4526the call of duty one is actually a mod, not a standalone game, but it's pretty good, at least it's not that demanding of cpu, compared to the back2fronts one
So journalists being journalists same now as then😂
My great-grandfather's brother was a civil guard (policeman) stationed in the south of the country, specifically in Estepona. He was arrested several weeks after the beginning of the war, and before the nationals arrived in Malaga, the republicans shot him and several of his comrades. The reason?
He was a Catholic and a conservative civil guard. His body was not found, it is supposed that the militiamen threw his corpse into the sea.
In Spain people never get tired of talking about the crimes committed by the Nationalists, but they do not talk about those committed by the Republicans.
That's because historical revisionism is a key tactic by leftists.
Reminder that the right didn't start fighting back in earnest until the communists murdered their political opposition, burned churches, raped nuns, and stole property. Those Godless heathens got what was coming to them and then some.
Stop the victimism, the dictatorship had decades to find the bodies and they couldn't care less about your great grandfather or any other of the "españoles de bien" they were pawns and they were treated as such by their own side. Now the heirs of the dictatorship laugh at their own victims when they try to find the bodies of their ancestors
@@JamesFTW1 It is ironic that you speak of victimhood when the left is the first to bring up the subject of the civil war and complain about having lost the war. Not to mention that more than 85 years have passed. But when we talk about the terrorism of ETA or the extreme left in Spain, which was killing until 2011, they say that the only thing we do is to politicize and say "ETA no longer exists". Franco is not there either and that does not stop you from talking about him all the time. And that you talk about pawns....
When during the war the left was dedicated from the beginning to kill each other in 1936, or when the republican government mobilized children from 14 to 17 years old, the so-called "quinta del biberon", or that they did not mind at all to sell part of Spain to foreign powers.
And nobody laughs at those who are looking for their dead relatives. What happens is that they only remember the dead of the republicans, and when you mention the dead of the nationalists, they respond by saying that they were coup perpetrators and that they deserved to die.
The left always had good cancel culture
Pius XII casually being a Chad.
Franco reading the letter probably felt like it was a "You Win!" screen
So true.

I'm surprised the anarchists didn't fall down sooner given how they refused to adopt military ranks within its troops. It was basically a horde without any organization.
There was some degree of leadership, at some level they did "elect" officers who could be replaced again by another vote
it was convoluted and didn't really create a stable corps of officers who knew what the hell they were doing but they did have some hierarchy
@@KalashVodka175 yeah, voting in military is stupid the same way voting for the most popular passenger of a plane to be the pilot.
@@KalashVodka175 This is why history is so important to learn. If the Anarchists read why the French Republicans and Soviets quickly abandoned electing officers, they would have at least had some sort of proper organization.
@@imgvillasrc1608
Fair point but it would go against their objective of having no « unjust hierarchy »
Like a dog eating its own tail
@@imgvillasrc1608I mean there is some examples where it worked, such as the mongols, though I’m guessing there weee some aspects that made it work. when they voted for someone it was usually someone who did know what they were doing, replacing an incompetent commander.
I won’t defend this practice but it’s probably the reason they would vote
when i read Homage to Catalonia there was a part where there officers and regular soldiers treated each other as equals and the officers had to convince the soldiers to fight that the moment i realized republican spain lost 🏴
The only thing I miss in this serie was that we dont see more of the Rifian support of the nationalist, the were a big help to this faction

Awesome video about the Spanish civil war in History Class, I only learn that the reason the republics lost the war was because they were less organized and armed I didn't know the committed too many strategic mistakes and had a lot of infighting.
They were Commies and had no idea how to run anything.

Second.
14:55 1st time you used that red alert classic
"Alright, all we have to do to win the war is push into this easily invadable poorly defended region, crush the south, and push north to win the war, what do you think, Spain?"
Soviets: no

The Spanish Civil war aka What happens if Mussolini and Stalin were opposing forces of the Civil war.
like last time, I'm here to annoy:
- "Un cimetière sous la lune" by Bernanos, a French action militant (not really left-wing) who denounced the nationalist crimes committed with the support of the Church, also did much to damage the international image of the nationalists.
-From the revolution onwards, the CNT was no longer a united bloc (and hardly had been before), divided between possibilists, trentistes and radical anarchists (yes, even for anarchists). If anyone's interested, I could elaborate.
-The weakness of the Republican militias", yes, but meanwhile, who made the only Republican advance of the war?
La collone durruti (signed: the anarchist band)
-I'd like to see the sources, for the Brigadists' change of sides as most of them were blind and radical Stalinists.
-I think that Catalonia, an anarchist stronghold, fell so easily because the battle had already been fought in 1938 against the republic, and Catalonia had already been defeated.
-Funny story: the military junta that overthrew the republic was supported by the central CNT (but not by the CNT in general).
-Technically, the civil war continued in the 60s with the maquis, and fascist propaganda ensured that it continued in people's minds until the end of Francoism.
-morality, fuck the communists.
I need elaboration on anarchists.
@@amhuman5138 Me too
@@pannik_lucas he possibilistes libertaires (who won the majority of votes at the 1936 congress and whose leader is the general secretary of the CNT) are anarchists who essentially want to take control of the state with the help of a party or a trade union (basically, they're Marxists who don't take on too much, but I'm biased here). Anarchist ministers don't come out of nowhere.
Treintism, its life of the "Manifesto of the Thirty", in 1936, they merged more and more with the possibilists and the main difference is that they had split in the 20s/early 30s to make a libertarian party.
And the radical anarchists are mainly the Durruti Column, the Friends of Durruti (there's a lot of Durruti for people who are supposed to burn idols, isn't there?), the Iron Column and the Libertarian Youth. These are the groups that stay true to doctrine and refuse to deal with the state/bourgeoisie. They were the ones who took up arms during the May Days of 1937. That said, even in the radical branch, one criticism is that they have tended to want to form defense councils, and that these are merely states in disguise.
That said, the CNT's divisions are not the part of the social revolution I understand best. If you're interested, read CNT et le pouvoir (by César M.Lorenzo, more of a possibilist) and CNT dans la révolutions de 1936 et lutte de toujours (by José Peirat, more of a radical).

The irony of the Ebro Offensive is that the Republic's first competently launched major offensive was also their last.
Who could have predicted it that within a movement most hardline, statist, brutal and uncompromising option will amass all the power... Anarchists and center-left taking L's as always XD
It's a trend that when society breaks down, the most radical of positions eventually take over rather than the more moderate ones.
Like with the Russian Civil War, Chinese Civil War, French Revolution, etc.etc.
@KaiHung-wv3ul They all got L's eventually, lol.
The Bolsheviks eventually got moderated when Stalin died (long-term W for Mensheviks), the French Republic became the French Empire when the republic was too weak to govern itself and Napoleon cleaned up the mess that the Republic made, and the PRC no longer follows the Maoist vision when Deng Xiaping took control.
The Nationalists may not have been great with propaganda, but they did have RAID SHADOW LEGENDS

no gods no masters, my comrade
Based af, Ezekiel's video on Anarcho-Syndicalism is also very convincing
You a christian anarcho socialist what?
This isnt really unbiased and its no surprise you as an anarchist support the fascist propaganda rather than the communists because you hate real communists because you are just another fascist apologist liberal scum
Imagine how bad it would have been if the other side won
Hahahaha...Imagine if Stalin was Running Spain...That is your answer.
@@silverhawkscape2677 yeah, i feel like people always say, 'oh how terrible, the world let fascism continue into the 70's' but they would hate the other side more, because they wouldn't be going to Barcelona for their holidays. Imagine Barcelona like a hot Moscow.
I highly doubt the Soviets would have been able to hold lots of power over Spain. Stalin couldn't even hold Yugoslavia within his grip and he had multiple puppet governments surrounding him. I highly doubt he would be able to hold a country on the opposite side of Europe, surrounded by Capitalist powers, in his grip. If the Republicans survived after WW2 they likely would have adopted neutrality as its stance, Spain likely would have a similar foreign policy to Yugoslavia. In addition any style of socialism implemented would be much different than implemented in the USSR, due to the influence of the anarchists it is likely Spain would have a bottom-up power system instead of top-down like in the USSR, which replaced rich elites with bureaucratic elites.
@@pavan923lol...of course, every defeated communist movement would surely have built a fair and equal utopia.... funny how that's never happened in reality.
Gulags but with a Spanish name that sounds less industrial, a few million dead in a famine created by the glorious socialist state in the name of progress and the greater good, eventually mass alcoholism, stagnation and despair...*edit* and ugly grey architecture.
I am Spanish and I have to say that it is a very good series of videos, I am glad that the nationalists won but I am not afraid to say that Franco wasn´t our best leader, but is undeniable to say that we wpuld be much worse off if the communists or anarchists won.
Wow this video was definitely a top 5 so far, love the production quality and jokes
Been waiting for this for a while. Keep making the videos we love Ezekiel!
The art is just getting better and better. Keep up the good work👍
18:02 Glad to see the handi-pole is getting used more and more
This certainly is the best art for a video so far. The fact that both comedic and serious moments are in it is great. Other videos like those about the russian civil war had it too, but the serious scenes were rarer. Great work.
I love your videos man! They are always so in depth and interesting, and on niche topics that for some reason draw me in and won’t let go! Personally I think it would be amazing if you could go into the Baltic War of Liberation, as I don’t hear to much about it. It’d also be cool to know why they didn’t band together afterwards to stop further Soviet or German encroachment.
Anyway, keep up the great videos!
So basically the Republicans lost because of classic russian tactics?

7:39. I concur on this point, I think it would be Falangist on the surface, but ideologically Carlist (disregarding individual Falangists), as seen with the post war policies of Franco.
The objective of the Ebre offensive was, according to Rojo(the mastermind behind it), to stop the attack on Valencia, and prolong the war until WW2 started, and France could help.
Great video. You should also do a series about the Greek civil war
The only good thing about raid is that everyone knows it’s bad so there is no risk of deceiving someone.
This was great 🏴
To be honest i was thinking about attacking that bulge in the centre that peer-ren-eese panhandle and evacuating the north to consolidate what we had, shorten the front and whittle away at the franco's forces. Sorry i am an amateur eithout all the facts but at least i didnt want photo ops
Very interesting as always and a very good choice of music.
Btw, the blue división did increíblebly well and were very brave
Oh god. Raid even infested Ezekiel
We are all going to be consumed eventually!
Truly a great victory!

When Guernica is only famous because of Picasso
I would love to hear your take on Operation Barbarossa.
9:50 ish. I had the instinct of thinking that attacking Extremadura to split the Fascist forces when looking at the map. But Portugal was backing them. So they could probably move through their territory. So maybe not as effective as all that.
Right? Everyone ou here talking about Estremadura being ideal to split up the Nationalists seems to forget the fact that there would always be supply routes through the west via Portugal. Now, to be fair, Salazar was very cautious in his support, and so the Nationalists certainly wouldn't have that much power in this, but it'd probably be enough to still supply Seville and such.
Estremadura itself also didn't have that much value. Like, it wasn't very populated nor industrialised, and it wasn't even that productive as an agricultural base.
Really, the only major benefit of taking it would be the strategic values of the region, and that could only be applied fully if you could perhaps move down the border and cutting of all major roads. The Republicans did control the navy, so I doubt the Nationalists would get that much support by sea.
In all fairness, Estremadura was a very good place to make an offensive, but it wasn't the only one, and perhaps some other places, if well organised (which wouldn't happen because Republicans, but still) would probably be even better.
@@12D_D21 They definitely couold've gotten supplies through, but I doubt Salazar would've let them bring troops over, so it's still a good idea, better than attacking Madrid anyway.
@@KaiHung-wv3ulyea Salazar in no way would allow troop movements or heavy supplies just for the sole reason that he wouldn't want a bunch of armed militia men roaming the Portuguese countryside
