The three answerers above me have it right!. However, I'll add that the Republican side also lost because they started 'cleaning' their own side while they were still fighting the Nationalists!. Never, never a wise move!.
Orwell himself, in spite of having been wounded, risked being arrested and was able to be expatriated by sheer chance!. Many people that were fighting with him were executed by their own side, because they were anarchist rather than communists or not the right flavour or communists!.!.!.

Spain remained a dictatorship right to Franco's death in the 70s and the dying "Caudillo" was kept alive through any possible mean, because they feared that a new civil war would start!. That didn't happen, and Spain became IIRC a parliamentar monarchy with the king having little more than a representative role!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It occurred at Spain from 1936 - 1939!. Rebel generals under the leadership of gen!. Franco stood up against the Republic!. It was a clear fight between left (Government) and right (the military)!. Russia helped the leftist Government!.
Wiith the massive help of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, Franco won the war!.
It is also said that the Spanish civil war was a manouvre for Hitler and Mussolini to prove armaments and tactics employed in WWII!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Spain had elected a Republican, socialist government!. The royalist, catholic, militaristic Nationalists did not like this!. They invaded from Morocco, with the connivance of Fascist Italy and Germany and with deliberate ignoring by the English!. After 3 years of bloody battles and atrocities on both sides the Nationalists under Franco won!. Spain remained a fascist dictatorship until the mid 70s!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it started in 1936 and ended just before the outbreak of WWI in 39!. I don't know a lot about it but one of the interesting things about it was the number of artistic types, communists etc who went there to fight against the facist General Franco!. The most famous was probably George Orwell who wrote a novel about it!. However, they lost!! I think Franco was dictator in spain for a long, long time afterwords!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
