Episode 110: The Spanish Civil War: The War That Shaped Modern Spain

In today’s episode, Matthias returns to the Spanish Civil War to follow the conflict from the fighting around Madrid and the battles of Jarama and Brunete to Guernica, the Ebro offensive, and Franco’s final victory in 1939. We also explore the role of the International Brigades, German and Italian intervention, the development of combined-arms warfare, and the lasting political legacy of the war in Spain.
