Illustrated by Stephen Walsh Series editor Martin Windrow THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR 1936–39 (1) NATIONALIST FORCES INTRODUCTION he Spanish Civil War was the curtain-raiser to World War II, and the major focus of international attention in Europe in the late T1930s. It was fought between the rebel Nationalist army led by Gen Francisco Franco (‘right wing’, and aided by Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and some foreign volunteers from conservative countries), and the army of the Spanish Republican government (‘left wing’, and aided by the Communist Soviet Union and many volunteers from liberal democracies). The war involved the most modern weapons then available – particularly aircraft, both operating in direct support of ground forces and bombing enemy-held towns. Like all civil wars, it was fought ferociously by both sides and caused immense suffering to civilians. From a Spanish population of about 24 million, at least General Francisco Franco y 500,000 people died in this Bahamonde (see Plate A1). A bitter war of attrition and former officer of Regulares in Morocco, in 1920 Franco was the in the repression that original second-in-command of followed it. When the the Spanish Foreign Legion under Nationalists secured victory LtCol José Millán Astray, and they installed a dictatorship during the Rif War (1921–26) his that lasted from April 1939 personal courage, leadership and application to duty saw him rise until November 1975 – from major to brigadier-general. -

On 13 September that year the military, headed by Gen Miguel Primo de Rivera, overthrew the government, and King Alfonso XIII gave the new dictator legitimacy by naming him as prime minister. Primo de Rivera announced: ‘Our aim is to open a brief parenthesis in the constitutional life of Spain, and to re-establish it as soon as the country offers us men uncontaminated with the vices of political organization.’ The dictator installed a governing military Directory, dissolved the Cortes General (parliament), and decreed martial law. While co-operating with the French in 1925–26 to bring the Rif War in Morocco to a successful close, Primo de Rivera launched major infrastructure programmes at home, and the mid-1920s brought some modernization. However, although foreign trade had increased by 300 per cent by 1927, this up-turn was based on protectionist economic nationalism, and the boom died away. As times got harder again, many Spaniards – workers’ movements and liberal intelligentsia alike – chafed under the regime’s repression, in a sclerotic society that condemned the poor to wretchedness and political progressives to impotence. -

Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02873-9 - The Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939 Michael Alpert Frontmatter More information The Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939 This is a long-awaited translation of a definitive account of the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. Michael Alpert examines the origins, formation and performance of the Republican Army and sets the Spanish Civil War in its broader military context. He explores the conflicts between communists and Spanish anarchists about how the war should be fought as well as the experience of individual con- scripts, problems of food, clothing, arms and the role of women in the new army. The book contains extensive discussion of international aspects, particularly the role of the International Brigades and of the Soviet Russian advisers. Lastly, it discusses the final uprising of pro- fessional Republican officers against the Government and the almost unconditional surrender to Franco. Professor Alpert also provides detailed statistics for the military forces available to Franco and to the Republic and biographies of the key figures on both sides.
