Description

The Spanish civil war (1936-1939) was a critical event in modern Spanish history and in international relations. The conflict in Spain elicited an enormous response from intellectuals and activists of the Left and Right around the world. As well, some hundred thousand foreigners enlisted in Spain, most with the Republican International Brigades in what, politically and militarily, was the curtain-raiser to World War Two. This unit enables students to study this important and fascinating twentieth-century event in depth.
