SPANISH CIVIL WAR 1936 - 1939.

• King Alfonso XIII abdicated the throne and went in exile.• The country chose in favor of a Republic rather than continue the Monarchy.• Two parties emerge in Spain, the Nationalists and the Republicans / Loyalists.• The Civil War saw both sides in fierce battles:• - The Nationalists with the help of Italy and Germany, headed by General

Francisco Franco• - The Republicans / Loyalists with the help of Russia, France and the U.S.• The Germans destroyed Guernica with their bombers. This was immortalized by

Picasso in his painting of the same name, Guernica. The Republicans lost.• Franco became Presidente / Dictator of the country, (el país) for almost 40 years.

Franco repressed freedom of speech and expression. Most artists were imprisoned or had fled to France.

• Franco appointed Juán Carlos, grandson of Alphonso XIII, as his successor to the leadership of Spain. The Monarchy was restored at his death in 1975. El Rey Juán Carlos y la Reina Sofía de Grecia tienen 3 hijos: Elena, Cristina and Felipe. Felipe, Príncipe de Asturias should later inherit the throne.

• The Memorial to the victims of the Civil War (la Guerra Civil) is El Valle de los Caídos, not far from El Escorial
