Description

The Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) was one of the most pivotal events of the twentieth century. Many see it as a ‘dress rehearsal’ for World War II while for others it was the ‘last great cause’ where the prevailing ideologies of the age clashed in all-out war pitting democracy against authoritarianism and communism against fascism. This course will provide a clear overview of this complex civil war including detailed analysis of crucial aspects such as developments in military technology and strategy, Spanish military thinking, foreign intervention, the phenomenon of international volunteers and the bombing of civilian populations.
