Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pyles, Jesse, The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: From Inception to Destruction, 1914-1918. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 130 pp., references, 86. The Portuguese Expeditionary Force fought in the trenches of northern France from April 1917 to April 1918. On 9 April 1918 the sledgehammer blow of Operation Georgette fell upon the exhausted Portuguese troops. British accounts of the Portuguese Corps’ participation in combat on the Western Front are terse. Many are dismissive. In fact, Portuguese units experienced heavy combat and successfully held their ground against all attacks. Regarding Georgette, the standard British narrative holds that most of the Portuguese soldiers threw their weapons aside and ran. The account is incontrovertibly false. Most of the Portuguese combat troops held their ground against the German assault. This thesis details the history of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force. Copyright 2012 by Jesse Pyles ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The love of my life, my wife Izabella, encouraged me to pursue graduate education in history. This thesis would not have been possible without her support. Professor Geoffrey Wawro directed my thesis. He provided helpful feedback regarding content and structure.

The Bujalance district of Córdoba province, where theCNT predominated, happened by a freak to escape the army’s Rising on 18 July 1936. In Bujalance the Civil Guard confined itself to staying in barracks and never lifted a finger, in spite of pres- sures from local rightists doubtless afraid of the power of the anarcho-syndicalist labour organisation.

  • Anarchism, the Republic and Civil War in Spain: 1931–1939
    Anarchism, the Republic and Civil War in Spain: 1931–1939 This groundbreaking new study, translated for the first time into English, is the first synthesis to relate and interpret the main evolutionary milestones of anar- chism in Spain, and is crucial to understanding the social conflict of 1930s Spain. Casanova explores the concept of anarchism as both a political ideology and a social movement during the Second Republic and the Civil War (1931–1939). Dividing the work into two parts, the author first explores anarchism’s strained relation with the republican regime. He then goes on to analyse the revolu- tionary process that broke out in the summer of 1936. This complete new study also examines possible reasons why anarcho-syndicalism did not resurface after the death of the Spanish dictator Franco, and offers a commentary on other writings on anarchism in contemporary Spain. Casanova’s work will interest historians across a range of disciplines as well as readers with a general interest in Spain. Julián Casanova is currently Professor of Modern History at the University of Zaragoza, Spain.

The main objective would be to cut the communications with Levante and connect with the forces near the Jarama, further closing the Madrid pocket. Meanwhile, the Italian forces, inactive since the fall of Malaga, were demanding a new theatre of intervention. Thus a plan is finalized, on which the Italian forces would spearhead an offensive, using the Madrid – Zaragoza road as axis of advance. On the 8th of March, amidst snow, rain and muddy fields, the highly motorized Italian forces struck the Republican lines and started their advance. The Italian force would spearhead the attack aided by two 2 Spanish brigades from the Soria Division. After clearing the initial villages the Spanish handed over the stage to the Italians. The 2nd Division, Fiamme Nere (Black Flames), advanced along the Zaragoza Road until they reached the village of Almaladrones. 2) Alto de Leon 002.Alto de Leon I.scn - July 24, 1936 – 16 Turns Sierra de Guadarrama, Alto de Leon Side: Best as Republican or PBEM As the military uprising failed, Gen Mola's forces, based in Navarra, begun a series of operations.

  • Casanova, Julían, the Spanish Republic and Civil
    This page intentionally left blank The Spanish Republic and Civil War The Spanish Civil War has gone down in history for the horrific violence that it generated. The climate of euphoria and hope that greeted the over- throw of the Spanish monarchy was utterly transformed just five years later by a cruel and destructive civil war. Here, Julián Casanova, one of Spain’s leading historians, offers a magisterial new account of this crit- ical period in Spanish history. He exposes the ways in which the Republic brought into the open simmering tensions between Catholics and hard- line anticlericalists, bosses and workers, Church and State, order and revolution. In 1936, these conflicts tipped over into the sacas, paseos and mass killings that are still passionately debated today. The book also explores the decisive role of the international instability of the 1930s in the duration and outcome of the conflict. Franco’s victory was in the end a victory for Hitler and Mussolini, and for dictatorship over democracy. julián casanova is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. He is one of the leading experts on the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War and has published widely in Spanish and in English.
