00:00:07,339 --> 00:00:16,339
In 1936, General Francisco Franco led a coup against the government of the Republic.

2
00:00:16,339 --> 00:00:24,339
This started the Spanish Civil War that lasted until 1939.

3
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,640
During the war, the Spanish population was divided into two areas.

4
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,640
The Republican area, which supported the Republic

5
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,640
and the national army, who supported General Franco.

6
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,140
Franco's troops advanced towards the Republican area,

7
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:50,140
and the Nationalists won the Spanish Civil War.

8
00:00:50,140 --> 00:00:57,899
But the Spanish Civil War had a lot of consequences.

9
00:00:57,899 --> 00:01:01,899
It was devastating to the country.

10
00:01:01,899 --> 00:01:04,900
Hundreds of thousands of people died.

11
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:07,900
Many others had to go into exile.

12
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:16,599
And there were few economic losers.

13
00:01:16,599 --> 00:01:26,689
A long time of hunger started, and the society was divided into winners and losers.

14
00:01:26,689 --> 00:01:32,230
The Republicans were persecuted, imprisoned, and murdered by the Nationalists.
