Describe what the Spanish civil war was, when and why it occurred, and what its results were. Was it unreasonable for the Nationalists to seek a military restoration of order, given the chaos of republican government? Considering what you know of Spanish history, what republican measures do you think would have most antagonized many Spaniards?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Students should provide a factual summary as well as an analysis of the causes of the war. Most Spaniards who were alienated by the Loyalists bitterly resented the desecration, atrocities, and murder used against the church and the tens of thousands of foreign combatants on the Loyalist side—often more numerous and visible than German and Italian assistance to the Nationalists. (The chapter refers to Loyalist, but not Nationalist, heroism; if you assign outside reading, you might want to include something on the famous siege of the Alcazar for balance.)
