This article is about the Spanish coup of July 1936, when right-wing generals in North Africa, led by Francisco Franco and the head of the Guardia Civil (civil guard), José Sanjurjo, overthrew the left-leaning elected Republican government. This article will give a short summary of what happened in July 1936 when right-wing generals led by Francisco Franco and José Sanjurjo overthrew an elected government. It will also cover why this coup took place and what was eventually achieved in terms of power after it ended. Finally it will ask you to consider whether we should read John Keel's book "Operación caballo de Troya" which has been translated into English as "The Great Conspiracy. The True Story of the Spanish Civil War" or should you prefer to read other books on the Spanish Civil War. Since Franco became Head of State in 1936, the government has been anti-republican. They have also been against any form of socialism. There was a climate of fear created by propaganda runs by Hitler's Nazi Germany and Italy, which aimed to persuade the neutral nations, Spain included, that if they did not take sides against 'communism' then they would be destroyed. Western nations including Britain were also alarmed at these developments because it appeared that Nazi Germany and Italy were aiming to establish a power base in western Europe before fighting with communism. On 17 July 1936, General Francisco Franco led a right-wing military uprising in Spanish Morocco. On July 18, the Nationalist forces under Franco's command mounted a coup that quickly took control of all Spain with the exception of two coastal enclaves held by the Republicans. This has been described as one of the bloodiest civil wars of all time. It is estimated that 500,000 people died in this war of attrition that lasted throughout the winter and into early spring 1937, when Franco's forces finally triumphed. In July 1936, when workers from the socialist unions, in a spontaneous reaction to a right-wing uprising in Spanish Morocco led by General Franco and the head of the guardia civil (civil guard), José Sanjurjo, revolted. This action was known as a general strike and was against the right-wing coup in Spain's African colonies which were run by the military. The strike went ahead without any help from the government and it resulted in clashes between workers and members of right-wing parties such as Falange Española de las JONS (Fascist party) and Monarchists Organization Renovación Española (Spanish monarchy party). Workers in the galleys and sailors of the Spanish navy also joined the strike. The strikes were led by union-based socialist and republican worker groups such as Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (Confederation of Labour, CNT), Unión General de Trabajadores (General Confederation of Workers,UGT) and the socialist UGT-FET y el Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Provincia de Barcelona (Workers' Federation of Barcelona and the Catalan Public Workers' Union). The right-wing government in Spain did not initially take action to stop this event. Although they did send an official to try to stop it. cfa1e77820
