Four Weeks One Summer: When It All Went Wrong

In the summer of 1936, over just four weeks, it all went wrong – for democracy and for Spain, even for the British royals.

When some army generals sought to overthrow Spain’s elected government, Francisco Franco quickly emerged as their leader; Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy supported him with men and materiel; pusillanimous politicians in Britain and the United States, even in France, turned a blind-eye – and the Spanish Civil War was on.
