Franco ruled Spain for almost 40 years, and that makes him the dictator that has last for more time in power. He was kinda clever. The king of Morocco said he rather have a toothache than an interview with Franco. One time, he was speaking with him for almost four hours and, after that time, Franco said: look, what you are telling to me cant be possible, and if it can be possible, lets have dinner, Im hungry. Same happened with Hitler. Hitler tryed to convince franco to fight in the WWII, so they met one day. Franco arrived 3 hours after Hitler did, and despaired him so much, he make hitler say: OKAY DONT FIGHT, FUCK YOU.
Franco hated the idea of Masonic-Judeo control, he succeeded because he erratically ousted all form of propaganda that played against traditonal Spain. Hitler and Franco were similar, is just that Hitler directly exterminated the source while Franco killed converted subverts who believe in state anarchy.
Las Vegas Boxing Channel so all those peasant farmers in Belarus that got killed were part of the grand master plan to put women in video games or something? Ok gotcha

@JohnACorp782 Especially from the right .. such as the Contras and Guarimbas in Nicaragua and Venezuela who murder anyone who disagrees with them, terrorized those countries and throw violent hissyfits because Ortega and Maduro remain popular with the majority of the people. Or like Bolsonaro and his supporters in Brazil who are threatening (and have murdered) LGBTQ activists and politicians and going after Glenn Greenwald for exposing the corruption of Bolsonaro's regime and illegal persecution of Lula. Or like the Anti-BDS bill here in the U.S. which goes against the 1st amendment.
@JohnACorp782 America has committed genocide against the natives, was the inspiration for Nazi race policies, and suffers from extensive institutional racism and oppression. Admitting any of this is politically incorrect despite it being obvious to every single subject matter expert.
@JohnACorp782 Say where I'm wrong. Say the natives weren't systematically exterminated, or the Nazis didn't take inspiration from Jim crow laws, or there isn't a 20:1 wealth disparity between white and black families.

Unregulated capitalism would be terrifying for all but the ultra elite; the barely regulated capitalism we have is bad enough, but capitalism without any regulation will get(edit: end*) you all the progress Teddy Roosevelt and those after worked for. Child labor and even more egregious destruction of the environment would be two of the "benefits" of a libertarian friendly system. And who said anything about communism, turning kids into drag queens etc? I'm certainly no communist, but perhaps somewhat of a Marxist. Perhaps some of those on the right (and establishment dems for that matter a la the walking dementia case Joe Biden) are incapable of understanding the nuance ( though I hesitate to use nuance since they are actually very different) but it is there. Also, by your drag queen remark I assume you think I endorse "woke" politics when the exact opposite it true. Both sides of the establishment are completely obsessed with identity politics and it does not help anyone.
It's not a joke, we just really like to keep the memory of those events and persons alive. They're an extremely important part of our national consciousness, history and identity.
Read Mine Were of Trouble by Peter Kemp about a year ago. Incredible first-hand account of the war. Kemp was British and volunteered to fight for the nationalist side under Franco, and fought through 37-39. I believe he was with the Requetes, and then the Spanish Foreign Legion. It provided an insight into the war that not many are familiar with, and it truly captures the horror and chaos of that war.
Or for a non-fascist perspective, read George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia. Orwell was there supporting the Workers Party of Marxist Unification of the Republicans.
@@c.kottman7843Kemp wasn't a fascist, neither were the requetés, that funnily enough hated the fascists almost as much as the republicans. PD:Orwell also won't stop whining the entire book
My father fought as a republic against Franco. I was born in America. Franco nearly wiped out my family that lived in Spain. Never knew my grandparents, uncle's or aunts on either side because of Franco. My last name is Rubiera de Vidal. Long live Spain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a Spaniard 10/10 you portaryed the war magnificently. My paternal grandfather fought for the nacionalists while the other was a civilian and both described the story in a similar way (though obviously in Spainsh). Always been a huge fan keep it up!
Me: is spanish and has to study its history Also Me: watches a video in English because in Spanish nobody is objective and you don't know what happen and what did not

Spaniard here, thank you so much for this video. This is a very heated topic in Spain that leads to heavy bias; you, however, remained pretty much impartial. Thank you.
I think that's one of the greatest explanations of the Spanish civil war I've ever seen on a video. Thank you so much. In Spain the civil war brings always conflict among people. By the way "Alcázar" is not a place, it's a building located in Toledo. A city to the south of Madrid. Sorry, my English is almost a crime against humanity.
The video is mostly accurate and really informative, but in my opinion, what really doomed Alfonso XIII's reign was his acceptance of Miguel Primo de Rivera's dictatorship from 1923 to 1930. He was a fascist dictator who came to power after a coup, but oddly enough decided to keep the king, Alfonso XIII, instead of becoming the sole leader of Spain. After Primo de Rivera stepped down in 1930, the king tried to mantain the status quo and named other dictators, but failed. He then decided to hold elections, and realising he had lost the support of the people in the major cities, he exiled himself without abdicating the throne in 1931.
I live in Spain, i'm 14 years old and my school hasen't taugth me this yet. For such a massive clash of ideoligies that defined the country in which i live today i don't undestand how this was never talked in my class yet.
you might want to inquire about when you will learn it. Then if you are interested, read books and watch documentaries on the subject. Then you can see if the teachers do a decent job of teaching the subject.
summary of the comments: -"OMG this is the crew videogame soundtrack" -"this looks like the US today" -"they weren't real communists" all you need to know
My great grandfather lived in the coast of the Province of Almería (southeastern Spain), what he did was hiding his son, who was in age to fight, in a subterrain room for the three years of war, and he continued doing his life regularly, taking care of his sons, wife and my grandmother. He just suffered a wound on the head when faced some republicans trying to steal a goat or some animal, and after that some insults because he managed to live a good neutral life during the war and after that.
My grandfather was 13 years old when the war started. Him and his younger sister were left alone to take care of their sickly mother, while his six older brothers and father fought for the Republic. My great-grandfather was caught and killed in a Nationalist POW camp.
Anarchists have traditionally been left wing. "Anarcho"-Capitalism is a very recent thing and doesn't hold true to any of the original ideals of anarchism.
There were conflicts and tensions between most factions of the Republicans and the Anarchists. Their alliance was a reluctant one. George Orwell refered to this as a "civil war within a civil war". If the Republicans had won the war, I suspect they would have gone after the Anarchists.
umm communist is anarchic by nature. the very definition of communism is stateless. thats why peopel get it wrong and get soviet russia wrong. becasue considering how much stalin hated capitalism. he some how managed to privatise the government itself.
I love how this war is described today. You can really tell who read the books these men followed, and who went to a university and took a professors ideas to heart.
Cool vid , but I feel as if Italy's and Germany's part in the war was underplayed , they did have 300 000 fascist troops go through the country , kind of an important factor . Italy and Germany sent a lot more than just ships and a few volunteers.
@@ismaelsanchez5011 True, they did, but much much less. 3,015 Soviet technicians and 772 Soviet pilots was much less than what was delivered by the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion alone. You must agree the Soviet Union is quite far away and was under a lot of diplomatic pressure. The real support for the Spanish to help defeat the Italian Fascists, German Nazis and Nacionales in Spain would've been braver French solidarity. Unfortunately the French were too politically fragmented and did extremely little.
Thanks for the video man. I like a lot how you do them and since I'm from Spain I'm quite interested in my own country's history. Keep up the good work!
My great grandfather was a priest in Madrid from 1925-1935 PRIOR to the civil war officially started he was captured by a left wing group, beaten and murdered. His brother my great uncle joined the Francoist forces in 1936 to avenge his murder. My great grandfather was not the only one to be killed by the leftists during the time, and even prior to the civil war. Although I agree the republican cause was more of defending democracy than communism, people must remember that thousands of its fighters were leftists, socialists communists etc.
"My grandfather was a priest" Yet you exist? So your grandfather wasn't a very good priest then or was he somehow a part of the extreme minority of protestant priests in Spain at that time?
@@RaycoGonzalez Fascism never died they were just afraid to make themselves public for decades, and rightfully so. We need to make fascists feel unsafe going public again.

Spanish Civil War = demo version World War II = full game Cold War = expansion pack Also the US had so much fun in the Korean War, they decided to do a spinoff in Vietnam.
Franco was supported by American companies such as Texaco, General Motors, Ford, Studebaker. The Republicans were basically left alone with the only help of the USSR and Mexico. The UK and France didn't want to help them, because they feared that helping the Republic meant supporting the international communist struggle. This clearly points out how the policy of appeasement was aimed to help fascism in its anti-communist crusade. José Maria Doussinague, undersecretary at the Spanish Foreing Ministry, stated that "Without American petroleum, American trucks and American credit we could never have won the Civil War". If it is clear that Nazism was a product of the Treaty of Versailles and Fascism was born on the false promises of UK and France, it's also clear that those very same governments saw these new ideologies with mixed feelings: a bulkward against bolscevism but also a potential threat to European and global stability. Fascism is a capitalist product.
The US blocked economically Spain because it was ruled by a fascist dictator The blockade lasted until the 1950s or early 1960s when Spain accepted to have US military bases all over the country because the economic crisis was unbearable at that time
Manoj Rishie ikr, i personally just finished the game yesterday and I have to say, it’s an amazing game along with a stellar soundtrack. Easily one of my favourite games of all time.
God I love Franco whenever I go fascist in HoI IV. He's always just trying to help a bit, not doing nothing but also not being overbearing. Just wanting to help out. What a guy.
Fun fact: Paulino Alcántara, famous Barcelona footballer and the greatest Filipino soccer player of all time actually retired from the sport to become a doctor. He then joined the military and fought for the Nationalists, serving under Mussolini’s Black Arrows as a field medic.

Great video of a war I didn't know a great deal about! I think we are one economic crisis, natural disaster or famine away from a similar civil war here in the US. Right now most people have enough food and entertainment to satiate themselves, leaving disagreements to social media tirades. However, a major recession or depression and blood could fill the streets. I've never seen so much hatred for their own fellow countrymen as I do today. People despise each other and see two very different courses for the future.

First big mistake: Alfonso XIII escape from the country AFTER the victory of republicans at many of the principal cities at municipal elections! Not by Moroccan war... Here and Spaniard
Mexico played a fundamental role in supporting the Republic during and after the Spanish Civil War. It was the country that most exiles received, between 22,000 and 25,000 Spanish refugees between 1939 and 1942, much during the government of President Lázaro Cárdenas del Río. Of these refugees it is estimated that "intellectual" or "elite" immigration comprised approximately 25% of the total (approximately 5,500). It also stands out that in greater numbers there were also "competent workers and peasants", as well as military, sailors and pilots, statesmen, economists and businessmen, all of them linked to the Republican government defeated in the war.

The father of my grandma was a republican during the war. He volunteered fought the fascism in Granada. Finally he got married with a girl. Fascist, from right, but they were older and they felt in love. His wife turned a little communist but they followed having their own ideals.They moved to a town where they had two kids. But one day, fascist soldiers came to the town and asked for him because one priest told about him. My grandad was brutally tortured during 3 weeks and killed with other guys in a field 5 years before the war ended. The wife, the mother of my grandma had to move to Barcelona because nobody talked to her or sold her anything still everyone wanted to help her. They were scared. They had to leave everythink to come to Barcelona, literla anything.They lived in the completely poverty in Catalonia. My grandma started working with 6 years. She used to live in the beach in a shitty shanty where her mom had to stay awake all the night to throw out the rats. Late she got a house in the countryside. My father is an engineer. My dad frowned up in a bad neighbourhood and I born in the same neighborhood but we recently moved to a better site. I am always surprised about my grandma. She sometimes talk to me about the war the postwar, Andalusia and his father. She always start crying. But the surprising thing is that she is always so tolerant. She talk to me about this time in a so objective way. I never meet anybody more objective than my grandma and she had an awfully live because the fascism but she still respect this ideology as every other one still she disagree with that and in a deep dawn she hate fascism. I hate when some catalans says that there is no democracy in Spain or when some nationalists say like "with Franco everything was better, Franco did nothing wrong, ARRIBA ESPAÑA"and if I get angry for that I can't imagine my grandma but she never shout or get angry. My grandma always thought her father died because a pneumonia as my father. But now she is happy. I'm so proud of she as anybody I never meet
Trying to explain the complexities of the Spanish Civil War without choosing a side or being biased is an amazing achievement. Well done for this 10 min vid. The moment you go to the next level you are likely to pick a side. It was horrible for the Spanish people, if you take away the politics and beliefs you are just left with the dead. Starting out with 'for the People reforms' without money, look what happens. Spain was ruled by the Ottomans for a very long time and then once a long standing dictatorship is removed, then it takes another in the form of Franco to bring back some form of stability to a fragmented different ideology country. I think international tourism from the 1970s has helped to calm and reform Spain. Us Brits love you and spend much of our money visiting and enjoying your sunshine and weather. The people are so warm and friendly to us.
Spartan Caster Really? I see tons of videos of people fighting back, and soon enough the majority white areas will be attacked, even the neoliberals who live in those neighborhoods will pull out their guns.

Perhaps some of those on the right (and establishment dems for that matter a la the walking dementia case Joe Biden) are incapable of understanding the nuance ( though I hesitate to use nuance since they are actually very different) but it is there.
Also, by your drag queen remark I assume you think I endorse "woke" politics when the exact opposite it true. Both sides of the establishment are completely obsessed with identity politics and it does not help anyone.

Read Mine Were of Trouble by Peter Kemp about a year ago. Incredible first-hand account of the war. Kemp was British and volunteered to fight for the nationalist side under Franco, and fought through 37-39. I believe he was with the Requetes, and then the Spanish Foreign Legion. It provided an insight into the war that not many are familiar with, and it truly captures the horror and chaos of that war.
Or for a non-fascist perspective, read George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia. Orwell was there supporting the Workers Party of Marxist Unification of the Republicans.

The video is mostly accurate and really informative, but in my opinion, what really doomed Alfonso XIII's reign was his acceptance of Miguel Primo de Rivera's dictatorship from 1923 to 1930. He was a fascist dictator who came to power after a coup, but oddly enough decided to keep the king, Alfonso XIII, instead of becoming the sole leader of Spain. After Primo de Rivera stepped down in 1930, the king tried to mantain the status quo and named other dictators, but failed. He then decided to hold elections, and realising he had lost the support of the people in the major cities, he exiled himself without abdicating the throne in 1931.

My great grandfather lived in the coast of the Province of Almería (southeastern Spain), what he did was hiding his son, who was in age to fight, in a subterrain room for the three years of war, and he continued doing his life regularly, taking care of his sons, wife and my grandmother. He just suffered a wound on the head when faced some republicans trying to steal a goat or some animal, and after that some insults because he managed to live a good neutral life during the war and after that.

Anarchists have traditionally been left wing. "Anarcho"-Capitalism is a very recent thing and doesn't hold true to any of the original ideals of anarchism.
There were conflicts and tensions between most factions of the Republicans and the Anarchists. Their alliance was a reluctant one. George Orwell refered to this as a "civil war within a civil war". If the Republicans had won the war, I suspect they would have gone after the Anarchists.

Cool vid , but I feel as if Italy's and Germany's part in the war was underplayed , they did have 300 000 fascist troops go through the country , kind of an important factor . Italy and Germany sent a lot more than just ships and a few volunteers.
so did the soviets
@@ismaelsanchez5011 True, they did, but much much less. 3,015 Soviet technicians and
772 Soviet pilots was much less than what was delivered by the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion alone. You must agree the Soviet Union is quite far away and was under a lot of diplomatic pressure.

Was looking for this comment
My great grandfather was a priest in Madrid from 1925-1935 PRIOR to the civil war officially started he was captured by a left wing group, beaten and murdered. His brother my great uncle joined the Francoist forces in 1936 to avenge his murder. My great grandfather was not the only one to be killed by the leftists during the time, and even prior to the civil war. Although I agree the republican cause was more of defending democracy than communism, people must remember that thousands of its fighters were leftists, socialists communists etc.
"My grandfather was a priest" Yet you exist? So your grandfather wasn't a very good priest then or was he somehow a part of the extreme minority of protestant priests in Spain at that time?

Spanish Civil War = demo version
World War II = full game
Cold War = expansion pack
Also the US had so much fun in the Korean War, they decided to do a spinoff in Vietnam.
Franco was supported by American companies such as Texaco, General Motors, Ford, Studebaker. The Republicans were basically left alone with the only help of the USSR and Mexico.
The UK and France didn't want to help them, because they feared that helping the Republic meant supporting the international communist struggle. This clearly points out how the policy of appeasement was aimed to help fascism in its anti-communist crusade. José Maria Doussinague, undersecretary at the Spanish Foreing Ministry, stated that "Without American petroleum, American trucks and American credit we could never have won the Civil War".
If it is clear that Nazism was a product of the Treaty of Versailles and Fascism was born on the false promises of UK and France, it's also clear that those very same governments saw these new ideologies with mixed feelings: a bulkward against bolscevism but also a potential threat to European and global stability.
Fascism is a capitalist product.
@@HighFlyingOwlOfMinerva He didn't say that
Fascism borns out of the socialism. Either, Franco wasnt fascist, he had no idea of politics.
The US blocked economically Spain because it was ruled by a fascist dictator
The blockade lasted until the 1950s or early 1960s when Spain accepted to have US military bases all over the country because the economic crisis was unbearable at that time

I think we are one economic crisis, natural disaster or famine away from a similar civil war here in the US.

Mexico played a fundamental role in supporting the Republic during and after the Spanish Civil War.
It was the country that most exiles received, between 22,000 and 25,000 Spanish refugees between 1939 and 1942, much during the government of President Lázaro Cárdenas del Río.
Of these refugees it is estimated that "intellectual" or "elite" immigration comprised approximately 25% of the total (approximately 5,500). It also stands out that in greater numbers there were also "competent workers and peasants", as well as military, sailors and pilots, statesmen, economists and businessmen, all of them linked to the Republican government defeated in the war.

The father of my grandma was a republican during the war. He volunteered fought the fascism in Granada. Finally he got married with a girl. Fascist, from right, but they were older and they felt in love. His wife turned a little communist but they followed having their own ideals.They moved to a town where they had two kids. But one day, fascist soldiers came to the town and asked for him because one priest told about him. My grandad was brutally tortured during 3 weeks and killed with other guys in a field 5 years before the war ended. The wife, the mother of my grandma had to move to Barcelona because nobody talked to her or sold her anything still everyone wanted to help her. They were scared. They had to leave everythink to come to Barcelona, literla anything.They lived in the completely poverty in Catalonia. My grandma started working with 6 years. She used to live in the beach in a shitty shanty where her mom had to stay awake all the night to throw out the rats. Late she got a house in the countryside. My father is an engineer. My dad frowned up in a bad neighbourhood and I born in the same neighborhood but we recently moved to a better site. I am always surprised about my grandma. She sometimes talk to me about the war the postwar, Andalusia and his father. She always start crying. But the surprising thing is that she is always so tolerant. She talk to me about this time in a so objective way. I never meet anybody more objective than my grandma and she had an awfully live because the fascism but she still respect this ideology as every other one still she disagree with that and in a deep dawn she hate fascism. I hate when some catalans says that there is no democracy in Spain or when some nationalists say like "with Franco everything was better, Franco did nothing wrong, ARRIBA ESPAÑA"and if I get angry for that I can't imagine my grandma but she never shout or get angry. My grandma always thought her father died because a pneumonia as my father. But now she is happy. I'm so proud of she as anybody I never meet
Trying to explain the complexities of the Spanish Civil War without choosing a side or being biased is an amazing achievement. Well done for this 10 min vid. The moment you go to the next level you are likely to pick a side. It was horrible for the Spanish people, if you take away the politics and beliefs you are just left with the dead. Starting out with 'for the People reforms' without money, look what happens. Spain was ruled by the Ottomans for a very long time and then once a long standing dictatorship is removed, then it takes another in the form of Franco to bring back some form of stability to a fragmented different ideology country. I think international tourism from the 1970s has helped to calm and reform Spain. Us Brits love you and spend much of our money visiting and enjoying your sunshine and weather.
