Nice video message from Iceland

Your videos are probably one of my favorite things to watch on KZfaq I love how you fact check yourself and Highlight the complexity of the topics that you are speaking about.

Just for letting you know, that movie was financially supported by Opus Dei, they are a religious sect and it's not historically accurate, also it has a very subjective point of view. It's not the best movie to understand the Spanish Civil War.

Most people also are unaware that most anarchists in Catalonia were not catalan but murcian migrants (from the 1920s). And most catalans in fact supported ERC and Lliga Catalana. In fact, rivalry between anarchists from the CTN and catalans was such, that in CTN controlled areas catalan was forbidden. The republican side was much much more complicated than is often depicted

​@@lauramonjas3131also The USSR stipulated that the POUM should fight the anarcho-syndicalists because stabbing non-authoritarian Socialists is all they really knew what to do

I mean, Franco had most of the army (except the navy) by his side, especially the African Army as they had the most experience and basically captured western Spain by themselves.

@@wevon8233 the nationalist only control around 30%-35% of the army and a big amount of that around 20% was the african army that was isolated during the first half of the conflict unable to move to the peninsular side From 150 generals of the spanish army only around 20 were in the nationalist side (but around half of the loyals were remove or degraded for political and trust problems) the nationalist win because they were more unite and because they have better officials quality (this was no only because the nationalist control one of two militar academy for officials but also because the republican side dowgrade a lot of officials for political reasons and the upgraded were more for political ideologic reasons than meritocratic)

@@mastrey Franco had 800000 men under his control, this is not counting foreign volunteers that weren't there at the start of the war, and the Republicans had about 700000 in the beginning. These exact numbers may be wrong so feel free to correct me, but these numbers feel like around 50% whent to both sides. You are right about the unity, and quality of officers, but their victory can also be attributed to Republican incompetence, not just disunity. Like a good portion of the loyalist army were untrained militias, and the government didn't exactly help by being subservient to the soviets, like at a time they were more focused on transferring their gold reserves to Russia and on arresting anarchists than fighting the Nationalists.

They always claim to be that, then, next thing you know, worker unions are shut down and striking is no longer a citizen's right

And hatred towards the others. And bigotism. And ultraviolent nationalism. There was nothing cool about Falangism, Franco or Sanjurjo

Mixed with ultracatholic overtones and a lot of fascism

Not only did he unite them, he literally became one of the youngest generals in Spanish history with only 33 years old

Just want to mention what the nationalists did -before the civil war was even over they had purged 200k people that they admitted too. (Comparatively, the republican side killed 30k civilians, most being in the confusion of the first weeks) -they stripped basically any worker’s rights under the threat of a gun -they collaborated with the war effort of the fachists and sold out their Jewish population.

Yeah truly sad and how they blasphemed Holy days

Literally creating their own enemies.... Huh, sounds familiar.

I remember Guernica and the masacre of La Desbandada too

Loyalist Vs Secessionist Most of the SJW hoard would be unironicaly loyalist/pro-establishment but identify They are the least likely to organise based on talent or Merritt but the most likely to have the backing of the state. Would be white leftists but have a taboo against appointing white general's so some may elect minorities who are double agents for other factions or just psychopaths. Ethnic gang's would be split between both sides depends on goals. Those wanting their own homogeneous country would fight the US I see black separationists establishing at least one defensible stronghold early in the war. An effort to funnel black nationalists into the stronghold would be supported by people who agreed with them and people who hate them. This concentrates the black nationalists into the new black state where they would be defending US efforts to retain the territory. White nationalists would be spread across various factions but would secretly support black nationalists(accelerationisim/propaganda victories) and openly endorse efforts to fight them(as enemies of the USA) but the more cunning ones would be supporting the black nationalists rebelling against the United States as that would be a fight between their 2 main potential rivals.

Indeed Unlike the War between the states a real civil war would result in countless atrocities by both sides instead of just by the government because both sides will view the others has traitors

Green armies were in Russia not in Ukraine

Except the good and bad sides were switched

Pretty sure Stalin was the main reason he wrote those

Every normal person hates Judeo-bolshevism

I mean Orwell was a rapist, racist and was an imperial cop. Not really a msn with a good moral virtue

@@dogehkiindogeborn5339There was a lot of infighting in the republic side. One of the factions was a Stalinist faction and the one Orwell was in was a communist faction. The book homage to Catalonia near the end his legion gets massacred by a Stalinist legion and he is forced to flee. That might have contributed

ARRIBA ESPAÑA

In a way, Franco "betraying" everyone after they won saved Spain from having a second civil war. Heck, let's not forget that besides the very distinct monarchists, there were also the falangists, which supported a government similar to fascism

Wasn’t that just Biafra fighting for independence?

@@jonathanwilliams1065 Yea but it was essentially a proxy war but with a really weird team setup. On one side you have France, UK, West Germany and China fighting against US and USSR on the other side. Like, US and USSR being allies in the middle of the cold war? Plus, Israel fought on both sides and Vatican was allegedly involved as well. 👀

No such country

@@manuelromano5233there are several such countries even today

That wouldn’t have done it justice. The Spanish civil war was a brutal civil war. It wasn’t of a side vs other side but more of a free for all each one fighting or teaming. If you want a good basis on the Spanish civil war I recommend CallMeEzekiel video on it

actually not many people liked Franco, but most of the other leaders died and so he was the only one left

@@acusticamenteconvusional9936 everyone liked Franco enough to accept him. For a leader, it is better to be liked by most than loved by few

Nationalists were more like "at least we're all Christian and traditionalists so let's beat the leftists first and we'll figure the rest out later" and that later was a Franco purge to any serious opposition he may have had. The Republicans on the other hand were like a Mexican standoff between Anarchists, Authoritarians (communists),Liberals and some rebels that just wanted to create their own nation separate from Spain

Because Spain was devastated after the war, which ended moths before ww2. Although Franco was Axis leaning, Spain was neutral/non belligerent to avoid damaging an already destroyed countrie

​@@enalche2 Franco was not Axis leaning or Allies leaning, he disliked both sides Franco could have let Hitler Win by simply and easily blocking Gibraltar This would have made the African campaign a lot easier for Hitler and he would have got to the oil fields in Iraq meaning that his soviet Union invasion would have been a success

Spain got stuck in a 40 year long isolationist dictatorship, actually. Weren't going to show anyone anything for half a century

You don't know anything about the Spanish civil war do you?

Fun fact, Hitler did talk with Franco about Spains possibly aiding them in the war, but Franco was uninterested, Hitler could not meet the demands and the war really fucked us over when it came to recover.
