EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print of a Map of Spain from July 1936 captures the tense situation at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. The underlined areas on the map highlight where the heaviest fighting took place, including major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville. General Franco's Army of Africa was strategically located in Spanish Morocco, while his stronghold in Northern Spain centered around Burgos.
The stark lines and bold markings on this map serve as a visual representation of the turmoil and conflict that engulfed Spain during this tumultuous period. Each underlined city represents a battleground where opposing forces clashed in a struggle for power and control.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the human cost of war and political upheaval. The names Madrid, Oviedo, Saragossa, Malaga, Cadiz, and La Linea evoke images of bravery and sacrifice as ordinary citizens found themselves caught up in extraordinary circumstances.
This Map of Spain is not just a geographical representation but a snapshot frozen in time that tells the story of a nation torn apart by ideology and ambition. It stands as a testament to resilience and determination amidst chaos and destruction.
