Beskrivning

The Spanish Civil War was a domestic conflict that had been internationalized even before the military rebellion of 18th July 1936, and the nature of international intervention was a determining factor in its outcome. Yet while policies of Great Powers such as France, Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States have received considerable attention, the global impact of the Spanish Civil War has not.This volume brings together a team of specialists to explore that impact in 20 countries across the world; from Argentina to Australia, from China to Colombia, from Ireland to India, from Portugal to the Philippines and beyond. How did governments and civil societies around the world respond to the conflict? What was its impact on culture? How has the Spanish Civil War been remembered- or not remembered- in different corners of the globe?With 20 chapters focusing on a particular nation-state, each one addresses the same set of issues; the local context in the 1930, government policies, the responses of civil society, the volunteers who went to Spain to fight or to serve in non-combatant capacities, the cultural impacts of the conflict, and the ways the Spanish Civil War has been remembered, they capture both the diverse responses and the shared themes. Rather than focussing on the Great Powers, The Global Spanish Civil War explores its impact beyond the “usual suspects”. With two thirds of the chapters dealing with countries beyond Europe, it transcends the prevailing Eurocentric vision of the existing literature.
