As the Republican government started to prioritize the army less, both financially and in its areas of use, the military grew more and more unhappy with the government. Eventually, this discontent would lead to the military uprising which started in Morocco and spread to Spain, starting the Spanish Civil War.
Q. What caused the Spanish Civil War in 1936?
Labor unrest was widespread in the early 1930s, and the election of February 16, 1936, brought to power a leftist Popular Front government. Fascist and extreme-right forces responded in July 1936 with an army mutiny and coup attempt that expanded into a civil war.

Q. What were the two sides of the Spanish Civil War?
Spain quickly erupted into civil war. The left side, known as the Republicans, was formed by the Spanish government together with unions, communists, anarchists, workers, and peasants. On the other side were the Nationalists, the rebel part of the army, the bourgeoisie, the landlords, and, generally, the upper classes.
Q. Why did Franco win the civil war?

Q. Why did Spain not enter ww2?
