Pint-Sized History

PINT-SIZED HISTORY TAKE OVER SPAIN!

Spain, the 1930s. Political chaos, revolutionary movements, fascists on the march, and one bloke who decided the best way to sort out the country was to start a bloody civil war.

In this two-parter, Zack and Joe dive into the rise of Francisco Franco, the Spanish Civil War, and the conflict that turned Spain into one of the most brutal battlegrounds of 20th-century Europe.

From the collapse of the monarchy and the birth of the Second Spanish Republic to military coups, international intervention, and the terrifying rise of Franco's Falangists, we explore how Spain descended into a conflict that pitted neighbours against neighbours and left the country scarred for generations.

And that's before we get to Franco himself: the unassuming military officer who emerged from the chaos to establish a dictatorship that would rule Spain with an iron-fist for nearly four decades.
