The '''Spanish Civil War''' was a conflict within [[Spain]] between 1936 and 1939 between the Republican forces - (which were nothing like American [[republican]]s) - a [[left-wing]] coalition including communists, socialists, democrats and liberals, and the [[fascism|fascist]] Nationalist forces under [[General Franco]].
Volunteers from many nations joined the fighting on both sides, including [[George Orwell]] and [[Laurie Lee]]. and military contingents sent by [[Soviet Union]] fought with the Republicans, while [[Germany]] and [[Italy]] provided forces on the Nationist side.
[[Ernest Hemingway]] served as a war correspondent during the war.
The Nationalists were eventually victorious, and executed over a hundred thousand of their opponents shortly afterwards.
