This Very Short Introduction integrates the political, social, and cultural history of the Spanish Civil War. It sets out the domestic and international context of the war for a general audience.

Throughout the centuries, Spain has been subject to the lordship of other countries. It was occupied by the ancient Greeks and Romans, the Visigoths, the French, and the Muslims. It has been the playground of both the respectful and the ruthless. The Spanish coasts have been occupied by the trading empires of Carthage and Rome. All that time, Spain was told by others how to run their country, how to fight, whom to fight, and where to fight.

The War of the Spanish Succession, fought at the beginning of the 18th century, was the last major war engaged in by French King Louis XIV, the legendary Sun King, and it was also the most famous of all military conflicts during his reign. While the length and the scope of the conflict are the primary reasons why people have given so much attention to it, another reason for its historical popularity is, no doubt, the fact that its outcome humbled the French king, to the delight of his many critics. He was, after all, the one who had given himself the lofty nickname of “the Sun King".

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Spanish-American War, then pay attention...Two captivating manuscripts in one audiobook: The Spanish-American War and The Philippine-American War.

This was an event that was the tipping point for the end of the Spanish Empire and the rise of the US as a formidable player on the world stage.

Ни один современный конфликт не вызвал такого бурного интереса со стороны не только интеллектуалов, но и более широкой публики, как гражданская война в Испании 1936–1939 годов. Ярко запечатлевшаяся в коллективном историческом сознании, она не только предвосхитила приближение Второй мировой, но и положила начало новой, ужасающей форме ведения войны, во многом определившей XX век. В этой и по сей день авторитетной исторической работе Пол Престон рассматривает гражданскую войну как противостояние демократии и фашизма.

Throughout the Second World War, Lisbon was at the very center of the world’s attention and was the only European city in which both the Allies and the Axis powers openly operated. Portugal was frantically trying to hold on to its self-proclaimed wartime neutrality but in reality was increasingly caught in the middle of the economic, and naval, wars between the Allies and the Nazis. The story is not, however, a conventional tale of World War II in that barely a shot was fired or a bomb dropped. Instead, it is a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal, opportunism, and double-dealing....

A Guerra Civil Espanhola começou em 1936 e logo se tornou um acontecimento mundial. Não só porque a Europa toda parecia um barril de pólvora prestes a explodir: na Espanha, Hitler e Stalin mediram forças, comunismo e fascismo se enfrentaram, soldados voluntários originários de muitas nações foram ao país defender a causa republicana. Não é errado dizer que, além de ter sofrido uma sangrenta guerra civil, a Espanha foi palco do último ensaio antes da Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945).

“Crusade” means a war for the sake of the Cross, a war to protect Christian people from persecution and death on account of their faith in Jesus Christ.

This is the story of that crusade, now honored in no other book in the English language. Most people who know of the Spanish Civil war do not understand why it was fought or how it was really won. This book will tell you. There is no story like it in the history of the twentieth century.

The civil war that tore Spain apart between 1936 and 1939 and attracted liberals and socialists from across the world to support the cause against Franco was one of the most hard-fought and bitterest conflicts of the 20th century: a war of atrocities and political genocide and a military testing...

In late 1936, as Franco’s armies stormed toward Madrid, Stalin famously termed the defence of Spain “the common cause of all advanced and progressive mankind.” As a German emigrant to Winnipeg, Hans Ibing recognized the importance of the Spanish Civil War to the struggle against worldwide fascism in a way that most people in Canada did not - joining the International Brigades in their fight to defend the Spanish Republic was his “chance to fight Hitler.”
