Francisco Franco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Franco is buried at Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos, a site he forced prisoners of the Spanish Civil War to build as the tomb of el Ausente. His first ambition was to follow the family tradition and join the navy, but cutbacks resulting from Spain's defeat in the Spanish-American War of 1898 reduced the available positions and Franco enlisted in the army instead. Franco soon gained a reputation as a good officer and joined the newly formed regulares colonial native troops with Spanish officials to improve his chances of swift advancement. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Franco

AllRefer.com - Spain - Foreign Policy under Franco Spanish Information Resource Franco still believed that the Axis powers would win the war, and he considered the intervention of Spanish volunteers to be an inexpensive way of assuring recognition of Spain's colonial claims after the war was over. The German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 presented Franco with a unique opportunity to participate in the conflict without a declaration of war and to get revenge for the Soviet Union's aid to the Republicans. Franco was convinced that attacks on his regime were the work of communist forces, and he felt certain that the Western powers would someday recognize Spain's contribution in maintaining its solitary vigil against bolshevism. reference.allrefer.com /country-guide-study/spain/spain35.html

Franco claimed to have sent instructions for greater clemency to be shown to the rabble (masse incolte) and continued severity against 'leaders and criminals' as a result of which only one in every five of those tried was now being shot. Franco's propaganda presented him as a modern Catholic Crusader: "The analogy was given the sanction of the Church on 30 September by the long pastoral letter, entitled 'The Two Cities', issued by the Bishop of Salamanca Dr Enrique Pli y Deniel. www.iiipublishing.com /franco.htm

Land and Freedom: Review from Cineaste Unfortunately, even the freewheeling post-Franco Spanish cinema has been extremely reluctant to tackle some of the thornier issues of the Civil War period. The Spanish Revolution certainly mobilized the energies of scores of impassioned anarchist women; in addition to fighting with men during the early phase of the war, their advocacy of abortion rights and denunciation of the economic exploitation of prostitutes was truly ground-breaking in the light of Spain's rigid Catholic tradition. While at times it seems like aging leftists do little else but re- fight the Spanish Civil War from their armchairs, it is instructive to learn that Land and Freedom has struck a responsive chord with Spain's young people, many of whom know little of their own turbulent history. www.lib.berkeley.edu /MRC/LandandFreedom.html

Chronology of War of Spanish Succession in Spain The War of Spanish Succession was mostly fought in northern Europe, but as my particular interest is Spain and Portugal, I've restrict my history to the campaigns in the Iberian peninsula. Peterborough pursues the Spanish with only 200 horse, however, the Spanish are still convinced they are facing a large force and break in rout. The British entrench near the besieging Spanish and Peterborough tricks the Duke of Arcos that his chief engineer, Mahony, is a traitor. www.balagan.org.uk /war/1700/chronology.htm

Review of Wayne H. Bowen. Spaniards and Nazi Germany: Collaboration in the New Order. Franco guided his regime, brought to power in the Spanish Civil War with German and Italian assistance, from a position as a pro-Axis "non-belligerent", then a neutral, and then, after the war, as a friend of the West. He also uses the Spanish case to re-examine the general question of collaboration in Hitler's Europe, arguing that we must understand the "genuine enthusiasm" for the Nazi New Order that existed through to the end of the war, enthusiasm that was motivated by both ideological affinity and political pragmatism working hand-in-hand (p. Combined with the attentions that other states, most notably Britain [3], paid to Spain, the limits of collaboration frustrated Naziphiles as well as Franco, and arguably this played a role in making the move toward collaboration more and more difficult even after the dispatch of the first workers and soldiers east. www.ess.uwe.ac.uk /genocide/reviewstr48.htm

Franco links Spanish novelist spied for Franco's regime UK Guardian article on how Camilo José Cela, the last Spaniard to win the Nobel prize for literature, continued to inform against other authors and academics even when they thought he had joined an emerging front of dissident writers. Franco's Collaboration with Germany Since the unlikely survival of Francisco Franco's regime through the Second World War, historians have puzzled over the extent to which the Franco government had collaborated with Adolf Hitler's Germany. Did Franco want to bring Spain into World War II? www.casahistoria.net /franco.htm

To Remember Spain / After Fifty Years: The Spanish Civil War The Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 was, at its inception, the last of the classical European workers' and peasants' revolutions -- not, let me make it clear, a short-lived "uprising," a cadre-controlled "guerrilla war," or a simple civil conflict between regions for national supremacy. Franco systematically slaughtered some 200,000 of his opponents between the time of his victory and the early 1940s in a carnage of genocidal proportions that was meant to physically uproot the living source of the revolution. In the force-field of these two cultures, Spanish workers in the Mediterranean coastal cities retained an obduracy, a sense of moral tension, a feeling for preindustrial lifeways, and a commitment to community that cannot be conveyed to a generation immured in the received wisdom and prepackaged lifeways of a highly commodified, market-oriented era. www.spunk.org /library/writers/bookchin/sp001642/fifty.html

Abe Lincoln Brigade During the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), 2,800 American volunteers took up arms to defend the Spanish Republic against a military rebellion led by General Franco and aided by Hitler and Mussolini. The conviction that made volunteering for a war against fascism possible was born from the economic calamity and political turmoil of the 1930s. When four right-wing Spanish generals, with German and Italian support, attacked the legally elected government on July 19, 1936, a desire to confront fascism in Spain swept through the progressive communities in Europe and the Americas. www.writing.upenn.edu /~afilreis/88/abe-brigade.html

Franco-Spanish War, 1635-1659 During the last decade of the 30 Years' War, the Spanish forces in the Southern Netherlands were sandwiched between French and Dutch forces. In 1643, the French defeated the Spanish in the BATTLE OF ROCROI, destroying the nimbus of the invincibility of the Spanish Infantry. In 1652 the Spanish succeeded in expelling the French from CASALE (west of Milan, on Monferrato territory). www.zum.de /whkmla/military/17cen/frspan16351659.html

Britain and the Spanish Civil War At the same time, the Spanish war was driven off the front pages by events in central Europe, where lines were being drawn for the last, bitter battle for collective security against the Axis. Germany and Italy were supplying arms, aircraft, and men to the Spanish Fascists, and Blum considered that any action on the Franco-Spanish border on behalf of the Republican Government would bring imminent danger of retaliatory moves by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany on France's eastern flank. On the sudden outbreak of civil war in July, 1936, Socialist movements in all those European countries where they were allowed to exist immediately took steps to consider whether intervention should be demanded. www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk /SPbritain.htm

Untitled During the three years that followed, Franco's Spanish Nationalists, supported by Italy and Germany engaged in a civil war with the Loyalists, supported by the Soviet Union [although on a much smaller scale]. The Spanish Civil War was, perhaps, the most controversial foreign policy issue in 20th Century British politics. Yet, by the time the Second World War began in September 1939, the Labour Party was unified behind a policy of armed confrontation with Nazism and Fascism, something it was not in 1936. www.suite101.com /print_article.cfm/945/10457

A powerfully moving history of the war and postwar ordeals and the continuing activism of Abraham Lincoln Brigaders--from the Spanish front to homeland blacklisting to ambulance support for Nicaraguan rebels, on the occasion of the Brigade's 50-year reunion. Franco also controlled every detail in the making of RAZA, including the extreme idealization of family life, the military, and his vision of the war that tore his country apart. www.filmlinc.com /wrt/programs/4-97/scwar/scwar.htm

Homage to Catalonia and The Spanish Civil War Franco, although not a fascist himself, was backed by Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the Spanish Church, Fascists in Spain, and large Spanish landowners. During the course of the war Orwell discovers that the internal and international politics behind The Spanish Civil War are far more complicated that he first perceived. The Spanish Civil war is more complex that than a simply a battle between fascists and republicans or socialists. shakti.trincoll.edu /~aweiss/catalonia.htm

France Page This conflict, which began in 1701 as a struggle to prevent France from laying claim to Spain, was called the War of the Spanish Succession in Europe and Queen Anne's War when it spread to the American colonies. In 1719, the French seized Santa María de Gálve, the Spanish recaptured the settlement and were foiled in an abortive attempt to invade Louisiana, and the French returned to overpower and occupy the colony and the bay it guarded. To be sure, the Spanish colonists, who were supplied primarily from Vera Cruz and, to a lesser extent, from Havana, offered trade goods and specie to the French when such were available. www.artifacts.org /francepage.htm

Anglo-Spanish War, 1727-1729 The War of the Quadruple Alliance had been rather disastrous for Spain, notably leaving Britain in possession of Gibraltar (siezed in an earlier war). Meanwhile, Britain's never-ending cycle of balance-of-power conflicts with Spain had led to the War of Jenkins' Ear in 1739 and participation in the War of the Austrian Succession in 1743. The British maintained their hold on Gibraltar with little difficulty, and the conflict degenerated into a war of words until both sides eventually lost interest. www.regiments.org /wars/18thcent/27spain.htm

Spanish sighs at Jeb's royal gaffe Who would have thought that Jeb Bush, the president's brother, was a closet supporter of the leftwingers who fought against Franco in the Spanish civil war? The constitutional monarchy was restored under Juan Carlos II in 1975, after Franco's death. Mr Bush, who owes his office in part to the financial support of rightwing Cuban exiles, would not normally be associated with the Spanish Republican cause. www.buzzle.com /editorials/2-17-2003-35757.asp
