The Spanish Civil War

2
00:00:10,339 --> 00:00:18,579
In 1936, General Francisco Franco led a coup against the government of the Republic.

3
00:00:19,219 --> 00:00:25,179
This started the Spanish Civil War that lasted until 1939.

4
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:33,880
During the war, the Spanish population was divided into two areas.

5
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:41,299
The Republican area, which supported the Republic, and the National area, which supported General Franco.

6
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:49,719
Franco's troops advanced towards the Republican area and the Nationals won the Spanish Civil War.

7
00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:56,460
But the Spanish Civil War had lots of consequences.

8
00:00:57,179 --> 00:00:59,140
It was devastating to the country.

9
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,939
Hundreds of thousands of people died.

10
00:01:01,939 --> 00:01:07,000
Many others had to go into exile and there were huge economic losses.

11
00:01:07,739 --> 00:01:13,760
A long time of hunger started and the society was divided into winners and losers.

12
00:01:14,659 --> 00:01:21,879
The Republicans were persecuted, imprisoned and murdered by the Nationalists.

00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:34,109
Thank you.
