    But I believed that this city became significant to Spain gradually. An example that underlies its significance is its economy. Being the focal point of government, fund and protection has been added to the improvement of the capital. Taking after the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, the city turned into a vital production place for the car and aircraft enterprises, for electric and electronic hardware, metallurgical wares, optics, and also for the generation of plastics, elastic, and customer merchandise. Madrid, with Barcelona, implemented printing in Spain. In spite of the conventional superiority of industry, administrations now represent some four-fifths of occupation in the…

    Germany’s high casualty count hurt their entire army. In fact, they used many more troops than expected, having used fewer troops in other battles that earned them victories. By the end, their total casualties were 434,000 troops. Before the campaign, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler had a strong relationship. However, after all of Mussolini’s diaries and letters were exposed, Hitler found out that he disliked him and thought he was simplistic and coarse. This affected their relationship and caused their disdain for each other, a situation that negatively impacted Nazi Germany. All of Germany’s distress caused them to have trouble in the rest of the war. They eventually surrender to the war and Allies get the victory. Not only was Germany influenced, Italy also went through…

    Like other civil wars, the Spanish Civil War often pitted family members and trusted neighbours and friends against each other. Apart from the soldiers, many civilians were killed for their political or religious views by both sides, and after the war ended in 1939, Republicans were at times persecuted by the victorious Nationalists. Since Spanish government was in disarray during its civil war so Hitler and Mussolini saw this as an opportunity to help and get the Fascist and Nazi ideals into the Spanish government. However, Franco himself was not a Fascist he was just accepting the help him and his government required. This resulted in strengthening the war because Hitler's move into Spain revealed rebel forces trying to remove the Spanish officials, such as the King and his government officials but the rebel movement never gained enough popularity at the time. In 1936 the military hoped to capture Spain quickly but they failed, and nearly half of the army remained loyal to the government and the rebellion failed in Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona and the Basque country which resulted in workers and peasant soldiers were formed to defend the government. Nevertheless, in the beginning of 1939 the Republic collapsed and the Nationalists occupied Barcelona and in a few months…

    The Civil War was the most bloody war in American history, with the most American deaths of any conflict. It occurred when the southern states of the United States collectively succeeded from the Union, and formed a confederacy. These states seceded because they felt that their state rights, granted to them by the constitution, were being infringed upon. With newly invented weaponry and poor medical knowledge, the death rate of those involved in the war was extremely high. This pattern of advancing technology causing more deaths has been prevalent through all of time. However, with the introduction of nuclear weapons, and thus the total annihilation of the world, this precedent has hit its limit.…

    On the surface, the Civil War appears to be a heroic battle that the north fought against slavery and immorality. But it’s not so simple. The Civil War was a complicated war fought for many reasons. It was fought mainly because of the difference between the northern and southern economic vision for America, but also because poor Americans everywhere generally felt ideologically attacked, and because the south felt frustrated, as they were politically underrepresented.…

The north also had a sprawling system of railroads which could carry supplies and troops across the country fast.
