		The professional armed forces are a relatively new phenomenon in Spain.
		In reassessing the strategic role of the armed forces, the Spanish government is implicitly broadening the army’s capacity to recruit from the fast-growing immigrant population at a time when demographic conditions are extremely unfavourable for the recruitment of its own nationals.
		This does not mean that the armed forces have to cater for all the different interests considered by its recruitment target group, but military training should avoid compartmentalizing and overstating the technical and security aspects of military education (as suggested by many of the initiatives currently in place).

		The country in general, and the armed forces in particular, were isolated from the larger dynamic of modernization and democratization in post-World War Two Europe due to its collaboration with the defeated Axis powers.
		The Spanish armed forces had not been deployed abroad since the Spanish-American War of 1898, when they were defeated by the United States and anti-colonial insurgents in the colonies of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines.
		As in all else concerning the Spanish transition, the main defining theme is a process of negotiation involving a relatively small group of civilian politicians, bureaucrats, and academics who devised plans to win over the armed forces in order to allow the transition to proceed.

		Summary: The purpose of this analysis is to trigger a debate on the numerical strength of the Spanish armed forces.
		I show that on the basis of the performance of recruitment in 2001 and 2002 the Spanish armed forces are at risk of decreasing by 1,000 soldiers per year as a result of the country’s unfavourable demographic development.
		If we assume that the armed forces are at best capable of maintaining a recruitment success rate of 1.6 of their total recruitment niche in the coming years, the total number of new recruits would decrease for each year as a result of Spain’s negative demographic development.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Spanish Civil War - A882902
		The Spanish Civil War was waged between the Republicans and the Nationalists from July 1936 to April 1939.
		Italian aircraft and naval forces ensured that the ferrying of troops from Spanish Morocco to the mainland could continue unimpeded, and were largely responsible for the defeat of a Republican attempt to recapture the island of Majorca.
		The impetus of the Nationalist attack was, however, lost by the subtraction of forces for an expedition southwards towards Valencia, in July 1938.
