The Spanish Civil War began in 1936, waged between the Spanish Republicans and the Spanish Nationalists. It started when General Francisco Franco, as well as General Emilo Mola and Jose Sanjurjo, led a military coup against the unstable Second Spanish Republic. They were joined by large parts of the Spanish military, Catholic Church, and new radical factions like the Spanish Falangists. The Republic, meanwhile, was defended by liberals, communists, and anarchists. This video details the factions and how the war played out. It also investigates what critical factors help win a civil war.

In the siege of Alcazar, it wasn't just the garrison. There were as many as 600 women and children, the families of the soldiers, taking refuge as well. However, one man did not have his family with him- Colonel Moscardo, whose son Luis had been captured by Republicans. They called him on the phone and told him that if he did not surrender in ten minutes, his son would be shot immediately. He asked them to put his son on the line. Luis said, "What should I do?" Moscardo's response was "Commend your soul to God, and die like a patriot, shouting Viva Christo Rey." (Long live Christ the King) Luis said, "That, I can do." Moscardo was forced to listen to his own son be shot, as the price of victory.

The Republicans were so divided and dealing with in-fighting that they couldn't even stop this slow, mild bleed of soldiers until Franco's full force had landed in Spain, unopposed.

One of the biggest misconceptions people have on the Carlists is that they are / were "absolutists". Far from the truth. Their motto is "Dios, Patria, Fueros y Rey" which means "God, Fatherland, local institutions / laws and king". They wanted to return to a time when each of Spain's many kingdoms and principalities had local officials and institutions which could govern the territory and limited the king's power. For example, the king had to ask the Cortes (similar to the States General in France but more powerful) to increase taxes or to change any laws. In fact, Carlists see unchecked power by a monarch very unfavorably.

Good video! I’d like to add A few more points to your video as well. 1) Communism at the end of the day both a distorted intellectual & economically illiterate idea that comes down to justify mass slaughter and expropriation of one’s enemies. Not to mention that if one has read up on the Italian school elite theory, you realize that one of the goals communism is a “dictator of the masses” which is impossible because of the iron law of oligarchy (it’s always why democracy at scale also doesn’t work.) 2. One of the biggest criticism of Franco is the repression his forces did in territory they captured, White Terror” vs the “Red Terror”, and how many they killed (80k to 100k by the Nationalists vs 55k to 70k by the Republicans) A lot of these summary executions early on were done to stop any form of resistance as well as tons of enemies settling scores over the last five years of politicization. It dropped off a lot after 1937. Franco himself only allowed an additional 20,000 executions and gave the rest prison time or had them rebuilt towns and cities No doubt that Spain would’ve endured a Soviet like system of purges, cultural destruction and mass murder routinely if a Third “Revolutionary” Republic emerged victorious where it was a one and done thing for the Nationalists. 3. Overall it was probably better for Franco to win. He kept the country out of WWII, he modernized the country and kept the country socially Catholic and Spaniards under his rule were freer and more prosperous than every Eastern Bloc country. A shame that Spain fell down quite fast after he died. Probably one of the few historical examples of a “Victorious Counterrevolution” in recent times. ¡Arriba España!

Spain under Generalissimo Franco was formally, officially, a monarchy: Franco was never head of State, but was only head of Government. He ordered that upon his death the legitimate heir to the spanish throne should become King, which in fact did happen, and Spain is till this very day NOT a Republic, but a Monarchy - the Kingdom of Spain.

It's a shame that after the war, Franco broke the alliance with the Comunion Tradicionalista of the Carlists, and that all the good he did has been swept away.

@@timcusack9388 Alfonso XIII was never a Carlist, he belonged to the illegitimate line of Doña Isabella, whose usurpation of the throne from Don Carlos V in 1833 is what kicked off the First Carlist War. What did happen is that in 1936, Don Alfonso Carlos I, the last direct heir of Don Carlos V, died childless, naming his nephew Don Javier I as regent, and eventually he was proclaimed King by the Comunion Tradicionalista, though to this day not all who call themselves Carlists accept it, and even among those who do they are divided between his two sons, Carlos Hugo who embraced Marxism, and Don Sixto Enrique who holds to Tradition. As to why Franco did chose Alfonso's descendants, I believe it was simply because ideological differences between Carlists and Falangists meant that without a common enemy to fight, they fought each other and relations broke down.

General Francisco Franco's chief psychiatrist, Dr Antonio Vallejo Nagera His conclusions ranged from the sublime to the sinister. The report claimed, for example, that 58%of English prisoners were "single men with sexual experience outside prostitution", that 7% were recruited "by charlatans in Hyde Park", that 17% had signed up in "employment agencies". All (three) Welsh prisoners were "alcoholics", he found. "A priori, it seems probable that psychopaths of all types would join the Marxist ranks," he reasoned before starting the project. "Since Marxism goes together with social immorality... we presume those fanatics who fought with arms will show schizoid temperaments." Little surprise, then, that he classified almost a third of the English prisoners as "mental retards". Another third were deemed to be suffering degenerative mental illnesses that were turning them into schizoids, paranoids or psychopaths. Their fall into Marxism was, in turn, exacerbated by the fact that 29% were also considered "social imbeciles". "Once more we see confirmed that social resentment, frustrated aspirations and envy are the sources of Marxism," he added. "The persistence of the ideological attitude of the English Marxists is the result of their closed minds and lack of culture."

A small correction Pax, Carlists aren't absolutists, they rather fought for a traditional monarchy as was common in Spain up until 1714, that is with fueros/kingdom statutes, a federal monarchy albeit antiliberal, and Catholicism. The French view of absolute power came to Spain in 1714, but what Carlists saw as the source of power was God who gave power to the people, who invested that power upon the institution of the monarchy and the King, who was on his behalf responsible of being a good ruler for his subjects and a good king for his territories.

@TyranyFighterPatriot 8 ай бұрын

Fueros is what it's called. Basically charter rights where the King had strong power but limited in so far as it stopped where actions would corrupt Catholic moral virtue of Spanish society. Also means the monarchy has to respect local regional rights first. Government not Federal and centralized but equally split as a confederation of small kingdoms.
