How did foreign involvement affect the outcome of the Spanish Civil War?
Part A: Plan of the Investigation
In this investigation, “How foreign involvement affected the Spanish Civil War?” will be evaluated. In this investigation the two sides that fought in the war, Republican and Nationalist, will be evaluated, based of success due to foreign involvement. This investigation explores both sides’ points of view on the war, and clearly shows how the foreign involvement benefited or hurt these sides. In the investigation the sources vary from textbooks, books, newspaper articles and academic journals. These will be used to evaluate the impact on the war by foreign involvement.
Part B: Summary of Evidence
The Spanish Civil war was fought between two sides; the Republicans, and the Nationalist.1On the Nationalist side countries like fascist Italy and Nazi Germany assisted the Nationalists’ outcome, whereas on the Republican side, liberal Soviet Union assisted the Republicans’ outcome.2The war started in July 17, 1936 and lasted until April 1, 1939. The war began after the Pronunciamiento, which was the declaration of opposition. The Republican side was referred to as “Loyalist” and they supported the standing government in control. 3The Nationalist side also referred to as the “Rebels” supported a “New Spain”.4These two sides were separated, most of the northern and western parts of Spain were considered the Nationalist, with the exception of Basque Country, where the southern and eastern parts of Spain were considered the Republican side, with a few exceptions like, Granada, Malaga, Cordoba, and Sevilla.5 But, if it wasn’t for the assistance and the influences of foreign countries that were involved in the Spanish Civil War, the war wouldn’t have gotten as far as it did.
