Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't think the Spanish Civil war had much impact here!. It mostly attracted the attention of intellectuals (the murder of Federico Garcia Lorca and systematic persecution and imprisonment of intellectuals didn't sit well with intellectuals all over the world)!. The Spanish Civil War here was highly "romanticized" in those circles!. That's how some Americans volunteered and joined the international brigade!. Other than that, I don't recall having heard or read of any other involvement by the US!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
