The Spanish Civil War Begins
from Same Day, Different Century
On July 17, 1936, Spanish army officers in Morocco launched a coup against the Republic, seizing the barracks and streets of a garrison town hours ahead of schedule. The generals expected a few sharp days and then power. Instead, the rising failed in Madrid and Barcelona, split the country in two, and turned a coup into a three year war that drew in Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin.Send me a text!Support the show
