The city under the bombs
We will review from the revolution to the dictatorship.
The Spanish Civil War was between the Republican side and the Nationalist side led by General Francisco Franco. On the Republican side, the president of Spain was Manuel Azaña, a democratically elected Republican until the coup d’état.
The Civil War was one of the toughest wars in living memory. After the victory of General Franco, a dictatorship began in the country that lasted almost 40 years from 1939 to 1975.
The panic in Barcelona caused by the bombs of the ships and planes from fascist Italy and Nazi Germany provoked terror among the civilian population in Barcelona.
