    About this ebook

    Not long back the present beautiful and peaceful Spain was
    going through painful times when the country was in a bad
    phase of rebellion. The Spanish Civil War was born out of the
    problems that persisted in the country. The Spanish Civil War
    is considered to have begun in 1936 and ended in the year
    1939. The struggle was between the Nationalists and the
    Republicans. It was a powerful country but corruption led to its
    fall. The country lost all of its overseas acquiring's such as
    Puerto Rico, Guam, Cuba and Philippines. Concentration of
    wealth was in the hand of few and the remaining population
    were haunted by misery and poverty. Basque and Barcelona
    were the only places where industry was situated. People
    wanted different types of government – the Catholics and
    monarchists who wished Spain to be as it is now because of
    their conservative thoughts. The anti-clerical and those who had
    hopes for a democratic nation looked forward to change the
    nation. The country was also in a huge debt.
