Spain: 'Socialism will forge a New Spain'. Revolutionary poster from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)

The Spanish Civil War was fought from 17 July 1936 to 1 April 1939 between the Republicans, who were loyal to the democratically elected Spanish Republic, and the Nationalists, a rebel group led by General Francisco Franco.

The Nationalists prevailed, and Franco ruled Spain for the next 36 years, from 1939 until his death in 1975.
