Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few modem events have aroused more controversy than the Spanish Civil War. This controversy was especially acute in Great Britain, which was tom between its distrust of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy on the one hand and of Communist Russia on the other. The and determined to avoid war at British public, pacifist in sentiment almost any cost, sensed the danger implicit in the Civil War, yet realised its impotence to control events in Spain which indeed it little understood. The British Government, though under heavy attack from the Opposition and from a handful of its own supporters, succeeded in its endeavours to keep the country out of war on this occasion.

Download or read book Hitler and Spain written by Robert H. Whealey and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Civil War, begun in July 1936, was a preliminary round of World War II. Hitler's and Mussolini's cooperation with General Franco resulted in the Axis agreement of October 1936 and the subsequent Pact of Steel of May 1939, immediately following the end of the Civil War. This study presents comprehensive documentation of Hitler's use of the upheaval in Spain to strengthen the Third Reich diplomatically, ideologically, economically, and militarily. While the last great cause drew all eyes to Western Europe and divided the British and especially the French internally, Hitler could pursue territorial gains in Eastern Europe. This book, based on little-known German records and recently opened Spanish archives, fills a major gap in our understanding of one of the 20th century's most significant conflicts. Its comprehensive treatment of German-Spanish relations from 1936 through 1939, bringing together diplomatic, economic, military, and naval aspects, will be of great value to specialists in European diplomacy and the political economy of Nazi imperialism, as well as to all students of the Spanish Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a combination of a wide range of second-hand sources with previously unknown archival material from Spain, Britain, France and the United States, this book explores the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 as a propaganda battle aimed mainly at foreign public opinion. It shows how both Nationalists and Republicans used the experiences of previous conflicts such as World War I, as well as that of their totalitarian allies, in order to set up a number of propaganda and censorship services with the goal of persuading foreign -- and specifically British -- audiences of the legitimacy of their causes, and of the need to give them political, military, and relief assistance. The propaganda messages designed by both sides -- ranging from the atrocities committed by the enemy to illegal foreign intervention on its behalf -- are analysed in detail, together with the techniques that were employed to transmit these messages: eye-witness accounts, official commissions, unofficial missions of investigation, documentaries, art exhibitions, etc. As to the impact of both campaigns on the British population, the author argues that their crude nature helped to mobilise both the extreme right and the extreme left, but alienated the great majority, who preferred to rally to the Non-Intervention policy adopted by the Baldwin and Chamberlain governments. The chronicle of this relatively neglected topic demonstrates not only the utter modernity of the Spanish conflict, but also the origin of some of the arguments still employed by current historians of the war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Spanish Civil War made a profound impression on British public opinion. The preceding crises had scarcely stirred the by then accustomed and comfortable English lethargy. The general attitude toward the Abyssinian debacle had been that there could hardly be anything catastrophic about the disappearance of a remote and backward African empire, although some irresponsible persons would have had Britain become involved. And as for the Rhineland, was there anything criminal about a nation reclaiming its own territory in order better to defend its own frontier? But the Spanish war, by reason of its propinquity, its rapid assumption of an international character, and the veritable confusion of issues, was something else again, and the British public took notice. Every facet of public opinion was tinctured with the Spanish news. The halls of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, the Albert Hall reverberated with dramatic perorations inspired by the Spanish struggle. Government spokesmen repeatedly went to the country in defence of national policy. The newspaper and periodical press appealing to every stratum of intellect was filled with explanations, interpretations, entreaties--and sometimes straight news, for the Spanish struggle inspired some of the best, and some of the worst, reporting in British journalistic history. From the pulpits, Christian dogma was intoned in support of one or the other of the Spanish factions with equal felicity. Issues were abundant for the most discriminating taste: democracy, communism, fascism, socialism, Christianity, international morality, pacifism, rearmament, Imperial defence, appeasement, collective security, humanity, peace. Britain's great political parties stood revealed in strange raiment; the Conservatives had become the pacifists and Labor the champion of an aggressive foreign policy. On Spain, the greatest statesman of the modern era was caught up in ideological toils from which he never quite managed to extricate himself. The Non-Intervention Agreement was the first calculated venture in British appeasement, and the resignation of Mr. Eden, the first tangible result. From all this mélange of sensation and sentiment there emerged one incontestable fact: regardless of the consequences, the vast majority of the British people were determined to escape involvement in the Spanish embroglio and to maintain a peace for which some were willing to pay any price, and others almost any price. This tragic and almost psychopathic dread of conflict was perhaps the clearest manifestation of the British reaction to what Anthony Eden was moved to call the 'War of the Spanish Obsession.' It is worthy of examination"--Leaves iv-v.

Download or read book British News Media and the Spanish Civil War written by David Deacon and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was reported by some of the most eminent journalists of the twentieth century and was the subject of reportage that still endures in public memory. However, these represent just a small fraction of the total news coverage of the war, raising the possibility that they provide a partial, even atypical, view of the international media's engagement with, and performance in, the conflict. This book provides the most extensive and detailed analysis of the reporting of the conflict ever undertaken, examining the personalities, routines, pressures and structures that shaped news coverage of the war in Britain as it unfolded. The book combines a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on the role of the news media in the conflict, with a vast amount of new evidence, gleaned from the author's detailed investigations in a range of official and media archives. Highlights include: Analysis of the strategies used by Republican and Nationalist forces to control and manage international press opinion Examination of journalists' personal experiences in Spain, and how these affected their political opinions and professional values Scrutiny of the pressures exerted by the British government on news correspondents, editors and proprietors as it sought to convince domestic and international opinion of the validity of its policy of international non-intervention in the war A systematic analysis of actual news coverage of the conflict, examining the extent to which media evaluations and interpretations of the conflict altered as events unfolded. Written in a highly accessible manner, this book will appeal to a wide readership, including students and academics working in the fields of politics, history and cultural, communication and media studies, as well as any other readers interested in the history and legacy of the Spanish Civil War.

Book excerpt: During the Spanish Civil War (1936 1939) the British public raised an estimated one to two million pounds for Republican Spain, mostly through small individual donations at a time when large parts of Britain were experiencing severe economic depression. Across the country people were moved by the plight of Spain, a land in which most had never set foot. The response was quintessentially British; through picnics, whist drives, concerts, dances and rambling expeditions, the war in Spain became embedded in British social and cultural life. Innovative fundraising campaigns ran alongside lectures, film screenings and exhibitions, engaging people with the Spanish conflict. But it was a fragile alliance of progressive opinion, for those involved often had very different interpretations of the political significance of the war and of the Republics fight for a broadly defined concept of democracy. Democracy, Deeds and Dilemmas provides a fresh perspective on what is a well-trodden area of scholarship. It places British humanitarian responses to Spain within the context of Britains flourishing civic and popular political culture, following the advent of mass democracy in 1928 as supported by the Equal Franchise Act. Emily Mason explores engagement with Spain through three foci: the peace movement, the co-operative movement and British Christians groups that were at the heart of the humanitarian response, but which remain underexplored in current historiography. The book explores how the Republican cause resonated with notions of British identity and with the crises that different groups perceived to be threatening their world order. It explores the dilemma that non-intervention posed for many Britons, and argues that humanitarian support for the Spanish Republic offers an example of active citizenship and popular internationalism in Britain between the wars.

Download or read book The Impact of the Spanish Civil War on Britain written by Tom Buchanan and published by Sussex Studies in Spanish Hist. This book was released on 2007 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Civil War has had a profound and lasting impact on Britain. At least 2,400 Britons volunteered to fight for the Spanish Republic (of whom more than 500 died), while others provided medical assistance, visited Spain in delegations, or covered the Civil War as journalists. In this collection of three of his published articles and seven new essays, all based on primary research, Tom Buchanan sheds light on many facets of this complex relationship. The book's central themes are the impact of loss on families and communities, and the importance of Spain itself - its history and culture - in the way that this Civil War was understood in Britain. The book examines individuals involved in the war, such as the writer John Langdon-Davies, the artist Felicia Browne, and the journalist G.L. Steer. It also pursues somewhat neglected themes, such as the response of British artists to the war or the role played by British medical personnel. The final two chapters focus on the long-term impact of the conflict on British politics and on Britain's relations with Spain since 1939. Presenting a chronological progression from the Spanish Civil War to the post-war Franco era, this book has been published to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the war.
