Im Filipino and I remember reading somewhere on the web that back in the years of the Spanish Civil War, the Spanish in the Philippines, especially in Manila (before Manila was destroyed in WW2 by the Japanese) were gripping their chairs on what was happening in Spain. Some were for the Nationalists while some were for the Republicans. And yes, in case you are wondering, even after Spain lost the Philippines in 1898 to the US, some Spanish people stayed in the PH to continue their business or maintain their haciendas, and they were badly affected by the Japanese in WW2.
Cuando los japoneses asesinaron españoles en Filipinas. (Los confundieron con americanos) Franco propuso mandar un batallón de voluntarios españoles. Para vengarlos. Pero EEUU lo desestimó, alegando razones logísticas. (La verdad es que muchos filipinos añoraban los tiempos de España) Y temían alguna estratagema. Pues Franco era amigo de Hitler y Mussolini. Estoy felizmente casado con una mujer filipinas. Un saludo desde España.
Ptaku93 All you have to know, is that Madrid was besieged by the Nationalists. The Republicans were like "MADRID WILL NEVER BE INVADED BY THE FASCISTS! IT WILL REMAIN UNDER THE REPUBLICANS!"
+Emil Larsson People isn't supposed to know all the important cities of Spain, only today i have seen videos of civil wars of Spain, Russia, Italy, Yugoslavia, etc... and im not going to see a map each second. Moreover adding a few x where important cities are is easy, and in cases like this the cities were very important as sometimes the coup failed in the cities but not in the surrounding villages.
Hey everyone. The reason why the Nationalists are painted in red and the Republicans in blue is because, in mapping, red represents the attacking country/territory/etc, while blue represents the country/territory/etc that is being attacked. (and sometimes defender) And no, April 1st isn't Fools day in Spain. It's December 28th here :) Nice video btw
It would be better the colours reversed, for the meaning that has the red with the republicans and the blue with the nationalists in Spain, but great map!
I dug VERY hard into the records of the spanish civil war and found out spanish equatorial guinea was taken october 6th by nationalist forces, the nationalists occupied spanish sahara main city (Rio De Orio) the occupied its coast and then sent an spanish infantry division and secured the whole spanish sahara colony.

To my knowledge, Francisco France was not the leader of the Nationalists until mid-way through the war. And neither were the Nationalists a Falangist group, it was only once all factions were fused into a single party could the Nationalists be considered even remotely Falangist. Even then, it isn't technically accurate because the Falangists were in power in name only, since Franco himself was a conservative who wanted to restore the monarchy, whilst the Falangist movement advocated for a Republic of Workers' Syndicates and were anti-Capitalists.
Yes, there was General Mola, who coined the phrase 'La quinta columna' 'the fifth column' when asked which of his four columns would take Madrid first. He was killed during the war and Franco rose in prominence after that.
They may have claimed anti-Capitalism but in many ways so did the Nazis. When you go back in time to that era, there is a very big difference between different groups that claimed words like "socialism" and "anti-Capitalism". Meanwhile, the actual groups on the left, like the Republicans in Spain, or the Socialists (The Sozis) and Social Democrats in Germany, were what we typically view as the left, anti-nationalist and anti-fascist. The Falangists and Nationalists may have claimed to be pro-worker, just like the Nazis, but when they came to power they instituted a Nationalist, fascist agenda. They jailed any actual leftists, supported the Nazis (minus military support), and still many volunteered to fight for the German military.
Rbnc They were liberals, social democrats, Anarchists, Stalinists, Marxists. That was their downfall. Franco had such brutal control over his politics that he could screw over the more moderate conservatives without fear of betrayal. The Republicans had to appease everyone, lest they became the very thing that they were fighting against.

They actually send troops to help Nationalists. Remember they had a non-democratic system since 1925, and a government very similar to Mussolini's. To sum up, more fascism...
I have family who was on both sides of the conflict. On my father side, my greatgranparents were communist leaders of the party in their hometown, as they were factory workers, and on my mother side, my greatgranparents were with franco because he had businesses and it was best for its interests.
@@anselmo4952 plenty of people at the time would have judged them just as harshly as I do now. In fact, perhaps you’ve heard, they felt so strongly they fought a civil war over it? Fascism was despicable then and it’s just the same now.
Many Spanish Republicans were Communists who usually use red as their color. By the way, the Spanish Nationalists formed a voluntary division to help Nazis in WWII whose name is "the Blue Division".

The "Nationalists" (they are called "Nationals" in Spain, by the way) were not "a falangist group led by General Francisco Franco", as the description says. In fact, Falangist were only a small portion of all the combined social forces of the Nationals: carlists, monarchists, liberal-conservatives, falangists, etc.
En su mayoría eran falangistas y se les conocen en España como el bando sublevado además después de la guerra los falangistas se consolidaron el poder con la dictadura de Franco
@@lolimalvarcodeseira5779 Lo de que la mayoría eran falangistas lo dice usted. La Falange no dejaba de ser una fuerza política residual en la República, y por mucho que el Régimen luego hiciera suya mucha de la simbología falangista, e hiciese la extraña e imposible unificación con los carlistas como partido único, lo cierto es que la ideología falangista apenas está presente en el Régimen pasados pocos años desde la guerra. El alzamiento, además de falangistas, lo protagonizan muchos militares sin una gran significación política más allá de comprender que el sino irremediable de la República ya sólo podía ser el bolchevismo y que era alzarse o morir. Queipo de Llano, López Ochoa, Sanjurjo, Mola... habían conspirado 6 años antes de un modo u otro para acabar con la monarquía y traer la República, y de falangistas no tenían nada. Otros militares eran de tendencia más carlista, monárquica, cedista, liberal, etc. Lo de "bando sublevado" es una opción más, de toda la vida fue el bando nacional, y el otro el bando republicano.
Liberal-conservatives would come to power much later (1957-1975) after the failure of the previous economical reforms the regime saw the need to change and adapt to improve it's economy and relations with foreing powers. By this time the only two legal parties were "Falange Española y de las JONS" (falangist) and "Comunión Tradidicionalista" (carlist) . This would go on from 1936 to 1942 when Franco inspired by fascist Italy and nazi Germany unified both parties creating a single party regime which he would lead. This party would adopt the blue jacket uniform from Falange, the fascist salute, and the carlist red hat this symbols were adopted by Franco himself.
Creo que se ha entendido perfectamente bien lo que digo en mi comentario: es evidente que en el momento del alzamiento en el bando nacional había una parte de políticos y militares de tendencia liberal-conservadora, antiguos simpatizantes del Partido Republicano Radical, del partido de Melquiades o de la misma CEDA, sin ir más lejos. Más que nada porque en el 36 la alternativa a la que lleva el Frente Popular es bolchevismo o alzamiento. Por eso gentes de lo más heterogéneas confluyen en el alzamiento. No he dicho en ningún momento que la primera política del régimen de Franco fuera liberal-conservadora. Es evidente que durante 4 o 5 años la tendencia es más bien a los fascismos, pero dura poco, sobre todo porque en la España católica no había un caldo de cultivo para que se pudiera implantar un verdadero fascismo, que es una ideología moderna por antonomasia. A partir de ahí la tendencia, lentamente y aún bajo simbologías falangistas o tradicionalistas (unión imposible en sus principios filosóficos, por cierto), es hacia una proto-democracia cristiana, es decir, un liberal conservatismo, que en los 60 y 70 se hace evidente.
@@kikamen Creo que estaremos de acuerdo en que simpatizar parcialmente con un movimiento e influenciar en él son dos cosas muy distintas, considero que es correcto decir que los nacionales eran un grupo falangista-carlista porque estaban liderados de forma autoritaria por falangistas y carlistas y eso se mantendría así hasta que los conservadores más moderados ganasen influencia a los falangistas y carlistas gracias en parte a Franco al cual le interesaba moderar su política y era conocedor de que como has dicho el falangismo en España no era viable ni económicamente ni socialmente. Que el fascismo y el tradicionalismo son incompatibles ya lo sé es obvio para cualquiera que conozca ambas ideologías pero eso no evito que Franco las obligase a coexistir y "colaborar" hasta que pudo minimizar su influencia, solo hace falta ver hasta que punto Franco consolido su poder durante la dictadura que fue capaz de colocar al candidato alfonsino en el trono en vez de al carlista, el cinismo y oportunismo de Franco fue lo que permitió la supervivencia del régimen. Yo no calificaría el régimen franquista como una proto-democracia cristiana, porque el régimen buscaba perpetuarse, no cumplía los valores cristianos y democráticos y no era democrático, además "proto-democracia cristiana" es un tanto ambiguo ya que se podría argumentar que sin secularización no hay democracia y que por tanto no existe tal cosa como una democracia cristiana ya que los valores de ambas ideas se contradecirían, aunque si tal cosa existiese pienso que sería algo más similar al Estados Unidos del siglo XIX.
@@yuzuha3909 Ok easy to all of u, Portugal supported Franco yes, but not totally military and took no part in the conflict. Heather way, this guy just wanted to do a joke, so easy to mates, easy go
It really helps to understand the war better. My grandad fought on both sides. Initially for the republicans where he was injured by mortar fire and then he had to switch sides. Now I understand how he made the jump from Asturias to Bilbao to Valencia.
Most of the international volunteers would have rather died as they tended to not be taken prisoner. Unless you an ideologue however (and most were instead conscripts) then changing sides was more than sensible so long as the other side was winning (and guess what the nationalists spent the entire war doing). Also the terrible management and constant political bickering disillusioned many to the Republican side, later on it was probably wiser to be an ex-communist in a fascist unit on the nationalist side than a Trotskyist on the republician side at all. Desertion was a massive issue for the republicans though the latter part of the conflict and without the international volunteers the war likely would have been a lot shorter.
i will recomind you to organize the colours in the opposite way. During the spanish civil war, the Bando Nacional wore blue shirts, and were always represennted with the blue colour by propaganda, and the Bando Republicano with the red one
and there are 3 commanders, republicans, anarchists, communists and then the nationals apollo by the Nazis, the Italians and the Portuguese, among those who fought against the Franquista were also met by simple differences, Republicans against comunsitas in Barcelona a thousand dead.
Recuerdo la historia que contaba mi abuela de como su madre tubo que arrastrar en un viejo carro de madera el cuerpo aun caliente de mi bisabuelo por toda la ciudad, ya que ninguna iglesia quería ayudar a enterrarlo, la causa, vivir en Barcelona y por lo tanto haber luchado por la república. Por lo visto mi bisabuelo era cristiano y nunca lucho contra el catolicismo, nunca quemo una iglesia ademas tenia amigos curas y amigos que defendían la monarquía. Era un hombre honrado y trabajador que se preocupaba principalmente por su familia. Siempre que hay guerra se realizan actos horribles, yo creo que es porque la guerra es la excusa perfecta para que personas furiosas y malévolas realicen esa clase de actos atroces pudiendo salir indemnes, ya que la culpa de sus actos se diluye a todos los de el bando que representa, esto se aplica siempre, independientemente del bando que luches. Pensar que los "fachas" eran elitistas, crueles y racistas o que los "rojos" unos quemadores de iglesias comunistas, solo demuestra lo simple que es tu manera de pensar, la poca cultura que tienes y lo sugestionable que eres... y esa clase de mentalidad es la causa real de los actos de terrorismo.
ser fascista es tener una ideologia criminal y dogmatica. Ahora bien, la gran mayoria que lucho en ese bando apenas tenia ideologia simplemente eran forzados a luchar y no se les puede culpar.
Terry Hintz Mi abuelo era republicano pero tuvo que luchar con los nacionales porque sino le mataban. Y eso seguro paso a muchiiiiiisima gente en ambos bandos.
Mi bisabuelo fue fusliado por 3 niñatos comunistas por ser un hombre de misa y trabajador. Mi padre me conto como lo fusilaron en el patio de detrás de casa, justo después de haber ayudado a parir a una de sus vacas, aún estaba cubierto de la sangre del parto. Y a mi abuelo le obligaron los mismos a servir en la Leva del Biberón. Con lo que el régimen, después, lo considero ex-republicano y lo envio a servir en el norte de África (el más duro de los destinos). Así que palos para todos y de parte de todos. Por dar un ejemplo. Así són las guerras.

En España había dos guerras civiles en 1936 por un lado luchaban los republicanos contra los nacionalistas y en la zona republicana había otra guerra civil entre los comunistas y los anarquistas. En la zona nacionalista había un solo jefe y en la zona republicana, había muchos jefes.

Un jefe? Si, primero Mola...fallecido en accidente de avión. Luego Serrano Suñer... Fallecido en accidente de avión. Franco fue el tercero, que por casualidad, tenía muchos hilos en la aviación española, su hermano fue un hito en la historia de la aviación española, por ejemplo. Casualidad, no creo

Ascendió al trono Isabel II la gorda, llamada en mi familia xd. Carlos, el hermano del difunto rey, no le gustaba nada no reinar España y al igual que muchos otros en esa época, mucho menos que ocupará un trono una mujer. Entonces comenzaron las guerras carlistas (ya sabrás pues de donde viene el nombre), entre los liberales (no t lo voy a explicar tb, el s.XIX en España es un truño licuado de ideas) que apoyaban al gobierno e Isabel II, y los conservadores o monárquicos que apoyaban a Carlos de Borbón. Este se fue a Navarra, donde el estaba el epicentro carlista (vamos Navarra!!!, Es mi tierra xd), aunque tb habia otras zonas especialmente rurales y en el norte de España, como gran parte de los Pirineos, País Vasco (menos Bilbao, que fue después conquistada por los carlistas, VAMOS!!!) parte de la cornisa cantábrica, Galicia, y otras zonas aisladas porque yolo. Bueno en resumen, eran otras guerras civiles más en España, pero yo personalmente me siento muy orgulloso de mis antepasados, aunqe claro, una guerra es una guerra :(
Alvaro De Grandes Mine was fighting with the Republicans at the Siege of Madrid and after the war he was sent to prison by the Nationalists for 6 years. My grandfather told me the terrible conditions he was living in.
It's sad that there's an association in Hispanic or Latin regions with democracy and communism. I met a guy from Spain whose grandpa fought in this war with the nationalists (very old, like 99-yrs-old) and his grandpa to this day kept telling him that democracy is a communist plot and for the weak. My Brazilian friend's grandpa was a soldier in the 1964 coup and said the same thing. "One day, you'll learn the facts." I was shocked at this, "wait, there were people who LIKED the horrible people the CIA propped up?" Apparently so. Some of the elderly in these countries (and, thanks to the new rise in nationalism, some of the younger people, especially in Brazil) really don't like democracy. In Spain they don't have a Bolsonaro figure (yet...), so it's more common for the younger people to just not know what the hell's going on in their own government or even care about what's going on. They're used to the concept of the government being 'taken care of' by others...
I am very happy to see how other countries apart from Spain remember this war because we feel a little forgotten by the history, thank you very much everyone!
I'm pretty much sure everybody remembers Spanish Civil ar, especially in moments when there is a internal tensions in one's country, there are also voices "Oh no, let's not end up like Spain in the 1930's" 😞
Free peoples Communist yep initially Franco was sympathetic to the axis because they were fellow fascists, but couldn’t join because at that point Spain is still a smoldering wreck. Around 1940-41 Hitler did ask Franco to give military access so the former can get to Gibraltar, but Franco’s demands in return was so high and lofty that it infuriated Hitler, and he even threatened to give Catalonia to Vichy France if Franco keeps demanding too high. In the end, no one could agree on anything so nothing happened. After this, Spain held passive support for the allies, and that is one of the reasons why the allies kept Franco around after the war and even into the Cold War.

Alfonso XIII (Alfonso León Fernando María Jaime Isidro Pascual Antonio de Borbón y Habsburgo-Lorena; 17 May 1886 - 28 February 1941) was King of Spain from 1886 until 1931. Alfonso was monarch from birth, as his father Alfonso XII had died the previous year. Until his 16th birthday in 1902, his mother, Maria Christina of Austria, served as his regent, in a period which saw Spain lose its Caribbean and Pacific colonies during the Spanish-American War. Due to family ties to both sides, Alfonso kept his kingdom neutral in World War I (1914-1918). From 1923 to 1930, Alfonso supported the dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera. In 1931, in the face of overwhelming popular rejection, Alfonso fled the country as the Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed. In exile, he retained his claim to the defunct throne until 1941, when he abdicated in favour of his third son Juan. He died six weeks later.

In all truth if the Republicans won they would have turned Spain into a soviet puppet state. All of the romantic propaganda around the war in the west has led people to believe it was the people defending democracy and resisting dictatorship. In reality the war was a conglomeration of many factions in a culture war that had all written off democracy as a failure. Extremism was fueled by the belief on both sides that their opposition would show no mercy.
@@glennmartin802 Considering that Franco literally tried to launch a military coup against a democratically-elected government, it's only natural the Republicans are regarded as the legitimate defenders of Spanish democracy. And the pro-Soviet socialists were only one faction out of many in the war, and it's questionable whether would the Republicans have turned into a puppet state had they managed to nip the fascists in the bud before they could properly mobilize.
@@glennmartin802 You're right. The Republic was literally ruled by the Popular Front which was a coalition of all the leftist groups led by the socialists of PSOE (who began to grow sympathies towards the USSR), alongside the anarquists of the CNT FAI, communists of the PCE (the communists were at that point a secondary party but they would eventually grow more halfway during the war to the point of leading the government after the events of May 1937) and the catalonian separatists. After the supporters of these groups won a manipulated election in February of 1936, violence began to be unstoppable: they began making arrests, murders and persecutions of anyone who was either catholic or right wing (or even suspicious of being one). The brother of my grandfather was killed at the gates of their town by militia men. Some people also ignore that the military coup was organized and planned by General Mola (a Republican who was dissapointed on how caotic the situation was), who at the same time was following instructions of General Sanjurjo, a monarchist who was exiled in Portugal. Franco only joined the coup at the very last minute when he received the news of the murder of the conservative politicians Calvo Sotelo in the 13th of July at hands of assault guards without any repercution from the government.
@@glennmartin802 you have not studied the history of the Spanish republic right? From 1931 to 1933 we had a left wing government, who made reforms such as secularization, public education, rights for women (vote, study...), agrarian reform to distribute the land for peasants... From 1933 to 1936 we had a right wing government, when the war started in July 1936 it was because a left wing coalition called Frente popular won the elections, and the monarchists, right wing Republicans, the church, the big landowners did not like it because it meant continuing with reforms. So a coup started in Melilla and several generals in other parts of Spain joined the coup; they were not able to take Madrid and the war started. During the war we had different governments presided by socialists like Quiroga, Giral, Largo Caballero or Juan Negrín but we never became a marxists-leninist state like the USSR and though the communist party gradually grew in members and influence, never got the power. Did Stalin help the republic? Yes, but far less than Hitler and Mussolini helped Franco, and at one point he abandoned Spain. When Franco took power Spain became a catholic, totalitarian, fascist state and all the progress of the republic was lost until the arrival of democracy in the late 1970s. And now we are a US puppet state as all NATO members.

Moreover adding a few x where important cities are is easy, and in cases like this the cities were very important as sometimes the coup failed in the cities but not in the surrounding villages.

Hey everyone. The reason why the Nationalists are painted in red and the Republicans in blue is because, in mapping, red represents the attacking country/territory/etc, while blue represents the country/territory/etc that is being attacked. (and sometimes defender)

To my knowledge, Francisco France was not the leader of the Nationalists until mid-way through the war. And neither were the Nationalists a Falangist group, it was only once all factions were fused into a single party could the Nationalists be considered even remotely Falangist. Even then, it isn't technically accurate because the Falangists were in power in name only, since Franco himself was a conservative who wanted to restore the monarchy, whilst the Falangist movement advocated for a Republic of Workers' Syndicates and were anti-Capitalists.
Se dice Franco.
Quite accurate man
Yes, there was General Mola, who coined the phrase 'La quinta columna' 'the fifth column' when asked which of his four columns would take Madrid first. He was killed during the war and Franco rose in prominence after that.
Indeed
They may have claimed anti-Capitalism but in many ways so did the Nazis. When you go back in time to that era, there is a very big difference between different groups that claimed words like "socialism" and "anti-Capitalism". Meanwhile, the actual groups on the left, like the Republicans in Spain, or the Socialists (The Sozis) and Social Democrats in Germany, were what we typically view as the left, anti-nationalist and anti-fascist. The Falangists and Nationalists may have claimed to be pro-worker, just like the Nazis, but when they came to power they instituted a Nationalist, fascist agenda. They jailed any actual leftists, supported the Nazis (minus military support), and still many volunteered to fight for the German military.
Just to correct the description, the nationalists weren't all falangists. There were also Carlists.
Mola ta errekete gelditu dira bertan.
And Africanist* (like Franco), Falangism was on the begining a civilian movement.
The falange absorbed the carlists, depending on when you look there were quite a few nationalist parties.
Fascists are Fascist no matter Franco, Hitler or Musolini or USA and UK!
Drdeki Petrovic Comedy? Or do you have no clue what fascism is?
It would be more logical to colour republicans Red, cause they were socialists/communists

wouldn't it have been more logical to have the republicans be purple and the fascists be red?
+MasterM34 no, we always called rojos (reds) to the republicans, and azules (blues) to Franco
Europe Mapping that's what they said
Rbnc They were liberals, social democrats, Anarchists, Stalinists, Marxists. That was their downfall. Franco had such brutal control over his politics that he could screw over the more moderate conservatives without fear of betrayal. The Republicans had to appease everyone, lest they became the very thing that they were fighting against.

Many Spanish Republicans were Communists who usually use red as their color. By the way, the Spanish Nationalists formed a voluntary division to help Nazis in WWII whose name is "the Blue Division".

The "Nationalists" (they are called "Nationals" in Spain, by the way) were not "a falangist group led by General Francisco Franco", as the description says. In fact, Falangist were only a small portion of all the combined social forces of the Nationals: carlists, monarchists, liberal-conservatives, falangists, etc.
En su mayoría eran falangistas y se les conocen en España como el bando sublevado además después de la guerra los falangistas se consolidaron el poder con la dictadura de Franco
@@lolimalvarcodeseira5779 Lo de que la mayoría eran falangistas lo dice usted. La Falange no dejaba de ser una fuerza política residual en la República, y por mucho que el Régimen luego hiciera suya mucha de la simbología falangista, e hiciese la extraña e imposible unificación con los carlistas como partido único, lo cierto es que la ideología falangista apenas está presente en el Régimen pasados pocos años desde la guerra. El alzamiento, además de falangistas, lo protagonizan muchos militares sin una gran significación política más allá de comprender que el sino irremediable de la República ya sólo podía ser el bolchevismo y que era alzarse o morir. Queipo de Llano, López Ochoa, Sanjurjo, Mola... habían conspirado 6 años antes de un modo u otro para acabar con la monarquía y traer la República, y de falangistas no tenían nada. Otros militares eran de tendencia más carlista, monárquica, cedista, liberal, etc. Lo de "bando sublevado" es una opción más, de toda la vida fue el bando nacional, y el otro el bando republicano.
Liberal-conservatives would come to power much later (1957-1975) after the failure of the previous economical reforms the regime saw the need to change and adapt to improve it's economy and relations with foreing powers.
By this time the only two legal parties were "Falange Española y de las JONS" (falangist) and "Comunión Tradidicionalista" (carlist) . This would go on from 1936 to 1942 when Franco inspired by fascist Italy and nazi Germany unified both parties creating a single party regime which he would lead.
This party would adopt the blue jacket uniform from Falange, the fascist salute, and the carlist red hat this symbols were adopted by Franco himself.
Creo que se ha entendido perfectamente bien lo que digo en mi comentario: es evidente que en el momento del alzamiento en el bando nacional había una parte de políticos y militares de tendencia liberal-conservadora, antiguos simpatizantes del Partido Republicano Radical, del partido de Melquiades o de la misma CEDA, sin ir más lejos. Más que nada porque en el 36 la alternativa a la que lleva el Frente Popular es bolchevismo o alzamiento. Por eso gentes de lo más heterogéneas confluyen en el alzamiento. No he dicho en ningún momento que la primera política del régimen de Franco fuera liberal-conservadora. Es evidente que durante 4 o 5 años la tendencia es más bien a los fascismos, pero dura poco, sobre todo porque en la España católica no había un caldo de cultivo para que se pudiera implantar un verdadero fascismo, que es una ideología moderna por antonomasia. A partir de ahí la tendencia, lentamente y aún bajo simbologías falangistas o tradicionalistas (unión imposible en sus principios filosóficos, por cierto), es hacia una proto-democracia cristiana, es decir, un liberal conservatismo, que en los 60 y 70 se hace evidente.
@@kikamen Creo que estaremos de acuerdo en que simpatizar parcialmente con un movimiento e influenciar en él son dos cosas muy distintas, considero que es correcto decir que los nacionales eran un grupo falangista-carlista porque estaban liderados de forma autoritaria por falangistas y carlistas y eso se mantendría así hasta que los conservadores más moderados ganasen influencia a los falangistas y carlistas gracias en parte a Franco al cual le interesaba moderar su política y era conocedor de que como has dicho el falangismo en España no era viable ni económicamente ni socialmente.
Que el fascismo y el tradicionalismo son incompatibles ya lo sé es obvio para cualquiera que conozca ambas ideologías pero eso no evito que Franco las obligase a coexistir y "colaborar" hasta que pudo minimizar su influencia, solo hace falta ver hasta que punto Franco consolido su poder durante la dictadura que fue capaz de colocar al candidato alfonsino en el trono en vez de al carlista, el cinismo y oportunismo de Franco fue lo que permitió la supervivencia del régimen.
Yo no calificaría el régimen franquista como una proto-democracia cristiana, porque el régimen buscaba perpetuarse, no cumplía los valores cristianos y democráticos y no era democrático, además "proto-democracia cristiana" es un tanto ambiguo ya que se podría argumentar que sin secularización no hay democracia y que por tanto no existe tal cosa como una democracia cristiana ya que los valores de ambas ideas se contradecirían, aunque si tal cosa existiese pienso que sería algo más similar al Estados Unidos del siglo XIX.

It really helps to understand the war better. My grandad fought on both sides. Initially for the republicans where he was injured by mortar fire and then he had to switch sides. Now I understand how he made the jump from Asturias to Bilbao to Valencia.
He had to switch? Most would rather die then switch.
@@asturiasceltic3183 He was 16. Anyway, everyone was a hero except that Franco won and ran the country with little opposition for over 30 years.
Most of the international volunteers would have rather died as they tended to not be taken prisoner. Unless you an ideologue however (and most were instead conscripts) then changing sides was more than sensible so long as the other side was winning (and guess what the nationalists spent the entire war doing). Also the terrible management and constant political bickering disillusioned many to the Republican side, later on it was probably wiser to be an ex-communist in a fascist unit on the nationalist side than a Trotskyist on the republician side at all. Desertion was a massive issue for the republicans though the latter part of the conflict and without the international volunteers the war likely would have been a lot shorter.

Recuerdo la historia que contaba mi abuela de como su madre tubo que arrastrar en un viejo carro de madera el cuerpo aun caliente de mi bisabuelo por toda la ciudad, ya que ninguna iglesia quería ayudar a enterrarlo, la causa, vivir en Barcelona y por lo tanto haber luchado por la república.
Por lo visto mi bisabuelo era cristiano y nunca lucho contra el catolicismo, nunca quemo una iglesia ademas tenia amigos curas y amigos que defendían la monarquía. Era un hombre honrado y trabajador que se preocupaba principalmente por su familia.
Siempre que hay guerra se realizan actos horribles, yo creo que es porque la guerra es la excusa perfecta para que personas furiosas y malévolas realicen esa clase de actos atroces pudiendo salir indemnes, ya que la culpa de sus actos se diluye a todos los de el bando que representa, esto se aplica siempre, independientemente del bando que luches.
Pensar que los "fachas" eran elitistas, crueles y racistas o que los "rojos" unos quemadores de iglesias comunistas, solo demuestra lo simple que es tu manera de pensar, la poca cultura que tienes y lo sugestionable que eres... y esa clase de mentalidad es la causa real de los actos de terrorismo.
ser fascista es tener una ideologia criminal y dogmatica. Ahora bien, la gran mayoria que lucho en ese bando apenas tenia ideologia simplemente eran forzados a luchar y no se les puede culpar.
Marcos Perez Más de acuerdo contigo no puedo estar, prejuicios o polarizaciones ideológicas, es, sinceramente, desaprovechar tu racionalidad
Terry Hintz de toda mi familia nadie fue forzada a luchar
lucharon voluntaria y orgullosamente como prácticamente todos
Terry Hintz Mi abuelo era republicano pero tuvo que luchar con los nacionales porque sino le mataban. Y eso seguro paso a muchiiiiiisima gente en ambos bandos.
Mi bisabuelo fue fusliado por 3 niñatos comunistas por ser un hombre de misa y trabajador. Mi padre me conto como lo fusilaron en el patio de detrás de casa, justo después de haber ayudado a parir a una de sus vacas, aún estaba cubierto de la sangre del parto. Y a mi abuelo le obligaron los mismos a servir en la Leva del Biberón. Con lo que el régimen, después, lo considero ex-republicano y lo envio a servir en el norte de África (el más duro de los destinos). Así que palos para todos y de parte de todos. Por dar un ejemplo. Así són las guerras.

Este se fue a Navarra, donde el estaba el epicentro carlista (vamos Navarra!!!, Es mi tierra xd), aunque tb habia otras zonas especialmente rurales y en el norte de España, como gran parte de los Pirineos, País Vasco (menos Bilbao, que fue después conquistada por los carlistas, VAMOS!!!) parte de la cornisa cantábrica, Galicia, y otras zonas aisladas porque yolo. Bueno en resumen, eran otras guerras civiles más en España, pero yo personalmente me siento muy orgulloso de mis antepasados, aunqe claro, una guerra es una guerra :(

So sad... My great grandfather suffered a lot during the spanish civil war. I admire him. 😢😢
Alvaro De Grandes Mine was fighting with the Republicans at the Siege of Madrid and after the war he was sent to prison by the Nationalists for 6 years. My grandfather told me the terrible conditions he was living in.
To the barricades my comrade.
My Grandfather fought for the Nationalists, suffered a lot, but it was all worth it because they defeated the commies, sorry about ur great granddad.
Lion Cub your grandfather was a fascist thug you should be ashamed.
Lord Hellas ...ashamed for saving Spain from Bolshevism? i don't think so, the shame is on you and all bolshevik terrorists.

It's sad that there's an association in Hispanic or Latin regions with democracy and communism. I met a guy from Spain whose grandpa fought in this war with the nationalists (very old, like 99-yrs-old) and his grandpa to this day kept telling him that democracy is a communist plot and for the weak. My Brazilian friend's grandpa was a soldier in the 1964 coup and said the same thing. "One day, you'll learn the facts." I was shocked at this, "wait, there were people who LIKED the horrible people the CIA propped up?" Apparently so. Some of the elderly in these countries (and, thanks to the new rise in nationalism, some of the younger people, especially in Brazil) really don't like democracy. In Spain they don't have a Bolsonaro figure (yet...), so it's more common for the younger people to just not know what the hell's going on in their own government or even care about what's going on. They're used to the concept of the government being 'taken care of' by others...
Some use the communists as an excuse to kill them and others (the US) use democracy to kill them anyway.
His Grandpa is a genius. ¡Viva Franco! ✋🏻

Please tell me the music I hate youtubers who don’t put the music
The Spanish civil war was the main reason Spain stayed out of World War Two
Free peoples Communist yep initially Franco was sympathetic to the axis because they were fellow fascists, but couldn’t join because at that point Spain is still a smoldering wreck. Around 1940-41 Hitler did ask Franco to give military access so the former can get to Gibraltar, but Franco’s demands in return was so high and lofty that it infuriated Hitler, and he even threatened to give Catalonia to Vichy France if Franco keeps demanding too high. In the end, no one could agree on anything so nothing happened. After this, Spain held passive support for the allies, and that is one of the reasons why the allies kept Franco around after the war and even into the Cold War.
@@radopon Franco said with his own word
I hope I never ever will meet this hitler ever again he is awful
But in my opinion Germany should just have attacked Spain They had like max 10-20 divisions with no good generals and unorganised
@@leo13246 10 divisions... nope only the nationalist army (we could add republicain soldiers to defend the country) had more than 1.000.000 of soldiers when finished the civil war, thats like 55 divisons poor equiped yes but with experience in a country with full of mountains and without infrastructure maybe it was a pain for hitler to conquer it and if he does guerrilla
@@radopon Franco's demands were indeed high, Grain, weapons, planes and a ton of land, demandas were so high that some historians say that they were purposely so, that way he didn't have to enter anhother bloodbath and, despite common belief Franco wasn't really a facist/national socialist, he was closer to your typical hispanic dictator, in other circumstances instead of a "dear leader" Franco, there would have been a military junta.
@@celeridad6972 and i believe Franco also wants the debt to Germany and Italy for their support for him in the Civil War to be forgiven too
Alfonso XIII (Alfonso León Fernando María Jaime Isidro Pascual Antonio de Borbón y Habsburgo-Lorena; 17 May 1886 - 28 February 1941) was King of Spain from 1886 until 1931.
Alfonso was monarch from birth, as his father Alfonso XII had died the previous year.
Until his 16th birthday in 1902, his mother, Maria Christina of Austria, served as his regent, in a period which saw Spain lose its Caribbean and Pacific colonies during the Spanish-American War.
Due to family ties to both sides, Alfonso kept his kingdom neutral in World War I (1914-1918).
From 1923 to 1930, Alfonso supported the dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera.
In 1931, in the face of overwhelming popular rejection, Alfonso fled the country as the Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed.
In exile, he retained his claim to the defunct throne until 1941, when he abdicated in favour of his third son Juan.
He died six weeks later.
Let's be honest, Spain would be one of the world's leading powers if it didn't destroy itself
yes
spain was bad since napoleon invaded it
@@cesarpro2363 Spain was one of the best and most advanced countries of its time. He was the first to complete the world tour with Magellan and he discovered most of the American continent.

Hi! I'm Spaniard and I think it should be better if you marked with blue the Nationalist and with red the replicans. It have an important mean to us because Franco hated the "Rojos" (Red in English), which were the republicans from left
Look fine gentleman, I'm sorry if I appear mean, or dangerous, I'm currently in a bad mood after seeing these comments, and I shouldn't really care because your comment is 5 years old... BUT OH MY GOD IN THE MAPPING COMMUNITY RED MEANS AGGRESSORS AND BLUE MEANS DEFENDERS, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IDEOLOGY.
@@CalvinNoire So what you're telling us, is that the whole mapping community got it wrong! You can still make it correctly! Sorry to be pushing your buttons, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist (although I was one, once) to tell you that the red army of China and the CCCP use red as their color, as apparently did the Republicans of Spain, and the Khmer Rouge (Red Army).
Thanks for the map video anyways. It would have been nice if there were some historical write-up about it also, since at least here in the US, and probably many other readers learn a lot about other countries like England and Germany and our history is somewhat biased against Spain as the enemy of England, so we don't hear much about it.
@@tomgreene7942 you can use any color you want, but, mapping guys use the red and blue color to make the aggressor/defender, why? Because it's commonly used. The colors in mapping do not in fact correlate to the ideology of the country. The mapping videos I've seen that doesn't use the red and blue color scheme generally use a color from their flag, or a color that looks good, heck they could even copy colors from strategy games. NP : )

My grandfather had to hide for 3 months inside of giant jar when his town of Sigüenza was under Republican occupation.
In all truth if the Republicans won they would have turned Spain into a soviet puppet state. All of the romantic propaganda around the war in the west has led people to believe it was the people defending democracy and resisting dictatorship. In reality the war was a conglomeration of many factions in a culture war that had all written off democracy as a failure. Extremism was fueled by the belief on both sides that their opposition would show no mercy.
@@glennmartin802 Right
@@glennmartin802 Considering that Franco literally tried to launch a military coup against a democratically-elected government, it's only natural the Republicans are regarded as the legitimate defenders of Spanish democracy. And the pro-Soviet socialists were only one faction out of many in the war, and it's questionable whether would the Republicans have turned into a puppet state had they managed to nip the fascists in the bud before they could properly mobilize.
@@glennmartin802 You're right. The Republic was literally ruled by the Popular Front which was a coalition of all the leftist groups led by the socialists of PSOE (who began to grow sympathies towards the USSR), alongside the anarquists of the CNT FAI, communists of the PCE (the communists were at that point a secondary party but they would eventually grow more halfway during the war to the point of leading the government after the events of May 1937) and the catalonian separatists. After the supporters of these groups won a manipulated election in February of 1936, violence began to be unstoppable: they began making arrests, murders and persecutions of anyone who was either catholic or right wing (or even suspicious of being one). The brother of my grandfather was killed at the gates of their town by militia men.
Some people also ignore that the military coup was organized and planned by General Mola (a Republican who was dissapointed on how caotic the situation was), who at the same time was following instructions of General Sanjurjo, a monarchist who was exiled in Portugal. Franco only joined the coup at the very last minute when he received the news of the murder of the conservative politicians Calvo Sotelo in the 13th of July at hands of assault guards without any repercution from the government.
@@glennmartin802 you have not studied the history of the Spanish republic right?
From 1931 to 1933 we had a left wing government, who made reforms such as secularization, public education, rights for women (vote, study...), agrarian reform to distribute the land for peasants... From 1933 to 1936 we had a right wing government, when the war started in July 1936 it was because a left wing coalition called Frente popular won the elections, and the monarchists, right wing Republicans, the church, the big landowners did not like it because it meant continuing with reforms. So a coup started in Melilla and several generals in other parts of Spain joined the coup; they were not able to take Madrid and the war started.
During the war we had different governments presided by socialists like Quiroga, Giral, Largo Caballero or Juan Negrín but we never became a marxists-leninist state like the USSR and though the communist party gradually grew in members and influence, never got the power. Did Stalin help the republic? Yes, but far less than Hitler and Mussolini helped Franco, and at one point he abandoned Spain.
When Franco took power Spain became a catholic, totalitarian, fascist state and all the progress of the republic was lost until the arrival of democracy in the late 1970s. And now we are a US puppet state as all NATO members.
Sugerencia: cambia los colores. El rojo para los republicanos y el azul para los nacionales. Son los que identifican tradicionalmente a ambas partes.
