  • 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.

  • Picassos Guernica Psych Second Paper
    Liv Bonner Bradley Collins Art & Psychoanalysis November 2018 Picasso’s Guernica: Present Tragedy & Enlightened Past The catastrophic bombing that occurred on April 26, 1937 in the Basque town of Guernica may be seen as not only a major event of the Spanish Civil War, but accredited with retrieving Pablo Picasso from his creative paralysis. Despite Picasso’s invitation by the Spanish Government and agreement to produce a mural for the Spanish pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, he remained uninspired up until the news of the bombing.1 Following the tragedy, Picasso’s intention for the commission was driven by not only a newfound interest for political propaganda, but by his subconscious identification with the event. While the concept that would become the masterpiece of Guernica was in response to the events of that influential April day, Picasso’s true inspiration lied in his childhood trauma of enduring an earthquake that mirrored that of the bombing of Guernica. With the reference of Picasso: Art as Autobiography by Mary Mathews Gedo, the personal and symbolic influences of the artist’s memory are revealed in the pictorial narrative of Picasso’s Guernica. The efficacy of the painting is not merely due to the intrinsic political commentary, “the protest…found in what has happened to the bodies…the imaginative equivalent of what happened to them in the flesh,”2 but rather more so found in the emotional impact of Picasso’s subconscious influence. In order to understand Guernica’s chaotic narrative, the individual 1 Mary Mathews Gedo, Picasso, Art as Autobiography, (Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 1980), 173.

  • The Spanish Civil War (1936–39)
    12 CIVIL WAR CASE STUDY 1: THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR (1936–39) ‘A civil war is not a war but a sickness,’ wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. ‘The enemy is within. One fights almost against oneself.’ Yet Spain’s tragedy in 1936 was even greater. It had become enmeshed in the international civil war, which started in earnest with the Bolshevik revolution. From Antony Beevor, The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936–1939 , 2006 The Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 after more than a century of social, economic and political division. Half a million people died in this conflict between 1936 and 1939. As you read through this chapter, consider the following essay questions: Ģ Why did a civil war break out in Spain in 1936? Ģ How significant was the impact of foreign involvement on the outcome of the Spanish Civil War? General Francisco Franco, the Ģ What were the key effects of the Spanish Civil War? leader who took Nationalist forces to victory in the Spanish Civil War. Timeline of events – 1820–1931 1820 The Spanish Army, supported by liberals, overthrows the absolute monarchy and makes Spain a constitutional monarchy in a modernizing revolution 1821 Absolute monarchy is restored to Spain by French forces in an attempt to reinstate the old order 1833 In an attempt to prevent a female succession following the death of King Ferdinand, there is a revolt by ‘Carlists’. The army intervenes to defeat the Carlists, who nevertheless remain a strong conservative force in Spanish politics (see Interesting Facts box) 1833–69 The army’s influence in national politics increases during the ‘rule of the Queens’ 1869–70 Anarchist revolts take place against the state 1870–71 The monarchy is overthrown and the First Republic is established 1871 The army restores a constitutional monarchy 1875–1918 During this period the constitutional monarchy allows for democratic elections.

  • The First Exile of the Basques, 1936-1939 – Contemporary History 35, 2007
    The first exile of the Basques, 1936-1939 – Contemporary History 35, 2007. 683-708 THE FIRST EXILE OF THE BASQUES. 1936-1939 Jesús J. Alonso Carballés University of Limoges-EHIC Nor could he have guessed that everything would disappear; that the houses and roads as well as the people, would not be the same. Sancho de Beurko In a volume intended for an overall assessment of the Civil War seventy years after the bombing of Guernica, as a foremost objective, this article attempts to portray an overview of what was the first Basque exile; the flight of tens of thousands of people going to other countries at different times of the conflict between 1936 and 1939. Within this chronological framework, we endeavour to tackle the different phases of this phenomenon which began with the flight of thousands of Basques to France due to the francoist offensive on Guipúzcoa in 1936, and continued with an enormous number of evacuations from the Northern Front between March and October 1937 and then finished with the great exodus of January and February of 1939, which marked the final campaign of Catalonia. We will analyse the specific nature of each of these waves, how the Basque Government organized each wave and cared for the refugees, the solidarity and aid from the various governments and humanitarian organizations whilst not forgetting the refugees’ presence in Catalonia. In short, we will try to give an overview of this key episode of the history of the Basque Country, with particular attention to the exodus of the children as the main subject in this process, the innocent victims in war who are rarely given their rightful place in history.

  • The End of the Spanish Civil War and the Beginning of Exile for the Niños
    The Basque Children - The End of the Spanish Civil War and the Beginning of Exile for the Niños Peter Anderson, University of Leeds I’d like to start with this front-page from the Francoist newspaper ABC from the 2 April 1939 which proclaims General Franco’s victory in the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. The text at the bottom boasts that the ‘red army’ has been disarmed, rounded up, and trumpets that the war is over. This is why, of course, this March and April we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the conflict. The date marks the victory of Franco’s troops and their allies from Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy against the elected centre-left government of the Spanish Second Republic.1 It also represents a victory dreaded by anti-fascist groups across Europe, including in the UK where tens of thousands of people donated money to support the Republic and around 2,000 people volunteered to fight Franco in the international brigades that brought together volunteers from 53 countries.2 But without becoming too philosophical, I am not convinced that late March 1939 is exactly when the war finished, or at least not in the whole of Spain. In fact, the Civil War grew into a steady process of occupation and once Franco’s forces rolled into one area of Spain the fighting, if not the violence, stopped. The ABC map tells the story. To name just three big cities: Málaga fell in 1 For an overview see Sebastian Balfour and Paul Preston (eds), Spain and the Great Power in the Twentieth Century (London: Routledge, 1999).
