The Spanish Civil War lasted from July 17, 1936, to March 28, 1939, when Franco's Nationalists defeated the Republicans and established a dictatorship. The war was a proxy conflict between fascist and communist powers, marked by atrocities such as the bombing of Guernica and the execution of Primo de Rivera.
In March 1939 the remaining Republican forces surrendered, and Madrid, beset by civil strife between communists and anticommunists, fell to the Nationalists on March 28. About 500,000 people died in the war, and all Spaniards were deeply scarred by the trauma. The war’s end brought a period of dictatorship that lasted until the mid-1970s.
