In this highly important book, Javier Rodrigo examines the role of Fascist Italy in the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939.Fascist Italy’s intervention in the Spanish Civil War to provide material, strategic, and diplomatic assistance led to Italy becoming a belligerent in the conflict. Following the unsuccessful military coup of July 1936 and the insurgents’ subsequent failure to take Madrid, the Corps of Voluntary Troops (CTV, Corpo Truppe Volontarie ) was created—in the words of an Italian fascist anthem—to ‘liberate Spain’, usher in a ‘new History’, ‘make the peoples oppressed by the Reds smile again’, and ‘build a fascist Europe’. Far from being insignificant or trivial, the intervention of Fascist Italy and Italian fascists on Spanish soil must be seen as one of the key aspects which contribute to the Spanish conflict’s status as an epitome of the twentieth century. Drawing on sources ranging from ministerial orders to soldiers’ diaries, this book reconstructs the evangelisation of fascism in Spain.This book is the first important study on Fascist Italy’s role in the conflict to appear in English in over 45 years. It examines Italian intervention from angles unfamiliar to English-speaking readers and will be useful to students of history and scholars interested in twentieth-century Europe, fascism, and the international dimension of the Spanish Civil War.

If there is a moment in which universal history passes through Spain, it is the Spanish Civil War of 1936–39. Similarly, twentieth-century European history is incomprehensible without the Spanish war. This handbook represents an ambitious, detailed and up-to-date perspective of the conflict.The Spanish war was not merely a civil war, but a transnational, global one. The seizure of power by fascism through war, the use of violence against civilians for the purpose of purging society, the establishment of concentration camps, and the overlap between the war of occupation and irregular warfare would all turn Spain into a sounding board and a testing ground for processes that would later spread across the continent. Bringing together both established scholars and many younger researchers, the chapters of this book address topics such as the militarisation, internationalisation and radicalisation of the conflict, the home front, issues of identity, exile, healthcare, the landscape and environment, and necropolitics.The Routledge Handbook of the Spanish Civil War will be an excellent university textbook for undergraduate and graduate students alike, as well as a basic reference for researchers of Spanish Civil War and the field of war studies more broadly.

Civil war was the most extreme, cruel and widespread form of violence during much of the 20th century. Its hurricane-like vortex devastated countries, split nations and destroyed communities in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. No other tool worked better for unleashing revolutions or repelling them, building nations, expelling ethnic or political minorities, securing territorial domains and economic resources, annihilating internal enemies, creating orphans and widows and generating human suffering. With the era of major international conflicts ending in the middle of the 20th century, civil wars are now the most recurrent type of armed conflict in the world. With more than 20 million victims and 65 million refugees since 1945, it is difficult to dispute their primacy in the hierarchy of contemporary terror.Civil Wars traces the history of civil wars in the 20th and 21st centuries, arguing that civil wars have played a key role in shaping the world in which we live today. It analyses a multitude of civil wars in different countries and regions of the world including Russia, Finland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, China, Yugoslavia, Greece, Korea, Indochina, Guatemala, Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq and Syria. Through these case studies, the authors seek to identify elements intrinsic to civil war, such as its transnational nature, the contagion effect, recurrent conflict and extreme violence against civilians, in order to identify the cycles of civil war that shaped the twentieth century and continue to shape the world today.This book is the first to offer a global history of civil wars in the hundred years from 1917 to 2017: the century of terror and genocide, but also the century of civil wars. It will be of interest to a wide readership interested in war and conflict in the modern world, as well as to students and scholars of war and of modern history.

Fascism was a distinct movement in European history that left deep scars across the continent, but the term 'fascist' is now more broadly applied to those on the political right, especially the new populists who have seized power across much of the globe in recent years. Although most far-right populists vocally disavow historic fascism, many critics see worrying parallels with the earlier movement. Could we be witnessing a return to the fascist politics of Mussolini, Franco and Hitler?Maximiliano Fuentes Codera and Javier Rodrigo have written both an assessment of the current crisis of democracy and a brief history of fascism and far-right populism around the world. By illuminating the historical record, this book will help readers better understand the distinctive, twenty-first-century challenges faced by our democracies.

Is Spain really still tied - culturally, politically, and emotionally - to the dictator Francisco Franco? What was (and is) his place in the public imaginary? What remains today of the man and his legacy?This book examines the public image of Franco and the social construction(s) of his public biography over four different periods: the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the post-civil war period (1939-1949), the rest of the dictatorship (1950-1975), and the democratic period and recent times (1975-2020). Delving into biography, narratives, and public and political motivations, it analyses the role that the idea of Franco has played and continues to play in contemporary Spain. It argues that the multiplicity of narratives that have existed in Spain and abroad regarding the figure of Franco are closely related to both the rhetoric and images generated by those in power and a sort of popular 'banal Franco' which takes in multiple stereotypes. This latter concept is central to understanding not only Franco's importance in contemporary Spain but also the fervent allegiance to his figures by a substantial part of Spanish society. Providing a complex picture of how the public image of the dictator has been constructed over time, the book addresses how ordinary Spaniards have imagined Franco and what their sources for doing so were.

This groundbreaking book explores the interpretative potential and analytical capacity of the concept ‘fascist warfare’. Was there a specific type of war waged by fascist states? The concept encompasses not only the practice of violence at the front, but also war culture, the relationship between war and the fascist project, and the construction of the national community. Starting with the legacy of the First World War and using a transnational approach, this collection presents case studies of fascist regimes at war, spanning Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Francoist Spain, Croatia, and Imperial Japan. Themes include the idea of rapid warfare as a symbol of fascism, total war, the role of modern technology, the transfer of war cultures between regimes, anti-partisan warfare as a key feature, and the contingent nature and limits of fascist warfare.
