Spain: The history and impact of the Civil War
The Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) was a transformative conflict that originated from a military uprising against the Second Spanish Republic. The war was fueled by deep-seated social inequalities, ideological polarization, and the economic instability following the 1929 global crisis.
Key drivers of the conflict included tensions over land reform, the role of the military, and the relationship between the State and the Church. The war became a broader ideological battleground involving fascist and communist forces, reflecting the rise of totalitarianism in interwar Europe. The conflict resulted in approximately 750,000 deaths and left a lasting impact on the nation's collective memory and social fabric.
