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.

The #DayOfTheColiseum bombing in #Barcelona was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1938 during the #SpanishCivilWar. Italian #Fascist aircraft dropped bombs on a street crowded with people and vehicles. A lorry carrying explosives was hit near the Coliseum cinema; its explosion killed 500.

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.
