Generalísimo #FranciscoFranco announced the final Republican surrender and thus the end of the #SpanishCivilWar on #ThisDayInHistory in 1939. #Anarchist and #antifascist fighters had done their best to prop up the republic but massive intervention by Germany & Italy was decisive.

#OnThisDay in 1939, Republicans surrendered to Nationalists in Madrid, bringing the #SpanishCivilWar to an end & beginning Francisco Franco's long reign of terror, which only ended with his death in 1976; fortunately, #Spain moved from dictatorship to democracy...

In an episode contributing to jokes about the Italian armed forces, the #BattleOfGuadalajara began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1937. The #SpanishCivilWar engagement pitted 50,000 #Fascist troops against 20,000 Republicans, mostly civilian volunteers; the Italians panicked and ran.

I've done a review of the recent @Helionbooks Spanish Civil War #Wargaming Book. A big favourite period of mine and great to see a book dedicated to it, on the YG Utubes link below.

A Hull fish-worker fights fascism Hull fishworker Dick Mortimer was one of thousands of brave men and women who volunteered with the International Brigade to fight fascism in Spain 90 years ago.

This summer marks 90 years since the start of the #SpanishCivilWar. My husband's great uncle, Dick Mortimer, was a fish-curer from Hull, and a communist. At 18 he joined the #InternationalBrigade to fight fascism in Spain. I've shared his story, and some tips on researching brigaders, in a new blog.

Putting the lie to notions that #AnarchoCommunism is impossibly idealistic, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1937 the federation of collectives in #Aragon abolished money. These books cover #anarchist #economics during the #SpanishCivilWar:
