This assignment is about watching a video about the spanish civil war:
The video explains that the Spanish Civil war started with a feeling that something was about to happen: there was this premonition of civil war and the next thing we know is that there is a coordinated uprising in Spain. The military fell under the command of Francisco Franco and they controlled like a third of the country; besides, the government refused to take the issue seriously, which was a wrong move because the issue was pretty serious.
Germany and Italy supported Franco with his rebellion but Britain didn't because they said that there was a pretty good chance there would be a spread of soviet influence in a country they had interest on, but eventually they did side with Fernando Franco.
Fernando was named the head of government but he decided to name himself head of state. The nationalists army attacked Madrid and the cities around it, they fought the milicianos, who lost lots of men. The war continued and missiles fell on the enter of the city; but the madrigueños kept fighting and the focus of war kept being Madrid. Germany and Italy recognized the Franco Regime.
Eventually they decided to attack Bisbao instead, German bombers attacked and the city's control fell under the nationalists, who were able to push the republicans back to madrid after they tried to storm Brunete, a town near Madrid.
International Brigades refused to o back to battle because of the damage and the losses; volunteers returned home and the nationalists were controlling most of Spain. Basically the nationalists had the upper hand and Franco was winning the war. The republicans tried to take over another city to gain some moral but the Nationalists kept winning every battle and slowly driving the republican's back.
After the war, the republican army was basically dissolved and the republican president recognized the nationalist government. Fernando Franco had succeeded
