Spanish Civil War Speech
UNIT I – The Great Spanish Tragedy: History and Cultural Significance of the Spanish Civil War (1936
–39) Dr Aaron Kahn [IF YOU HAVE
CHOSEN THIS UNIT AS THE TOPIC OF YOUR COURSEWORK ESSAY, LEAVE THIS SECTION BLANK] 1. Passage Identification
– Choose
ONE of the following (80 words) "War is evil, and it is often the lesser evil. Those who take the sword, perish by the sword, and those who don't
take the sword perish by smelly diseases." This passage is from the essay 'Looking Back on The Spanish Civil War' written by George Orwell in
1943. Here, Orwell is trying to portray the horror that was the war. Fighting in the war may come across to some people as honourable and noble, but
not according to Orwell. It is apparent that he spurns war and everything that comes with it. He wants people to comprehend the pure terror and
anarchy that the militiamen were put through. [25 MARKS] 2. Passage Identification – Choose ONE of the following (80 words) "I have a feeling that
everything will come to an end once I come to the end of this notebook. That is why I only write in it occasionally. My pencil must also have lost
the war." This passage is from the novel Second Defeat, written by Eulalio in 1940. He wrote in his journal while in exile. He was in the wilderness
struggling to survive and provide his son with the necessities he needed. The pencil is a metaphor. The pencil and his journal are the only thing left his
has to live for – once the pencil runs out, he has nothing else to live for and he will die, losing the battle of survival. [25 MARKS] 3. Short response –
Choose ONE of the following (160 words): In "Second Defeat", why do you think Lalo does not give his baby a name straight away? I think that
he does not give his baby a name straight away because he had already realised and accepted the fact the he was going to die. So, by not giving him
a name, he was avoiding developing an emotional attachment to him so as to make his death easier for him to endure. He had already gone through
the trauma of losing his girlfriend and maybe was not emotionally stable enough to be put through the death of another loved one. In the end, Lalo calls
his child Raphael and after his death, he writes his name

Spanish civil war
The Spanish civil war is often seen as a fundamental divide between right and left– the first major struggle between Fascism and Communism. The
Spanish civil war started distinctly as a Spanish civil war born out of Spanish disputes, but it was soon to take on an international character. The
military situations were practically equal to both sides before the foreign intervention. However, after Germany, Italy, and USSR intervened the
situation changed dramatically. In general, the decision by foreign governments to get involved in the Spanish Civil war was a result of both ideology
and self–interest. Foreign intervention had two main effects. The first was that it both intensified and lengthened the war, and the other is that it meant

–Hitler's Germany was cautious when the appeal for help came from the rebels. He was not yet ready for a general European war. Hermann Goring
was important in the decision to support the rebels. Both he and Hitler wanted to stop the spread of communism, but Goring also wanted to test out his
Luftwaffe in live conditions. There were economic and strategic benefits for Germany too: raw materials could be gained and deploying to Spain could
give Germany the potential to hamper Anglo–French maritime communications. Hitler didn't think the war would last long, and only wanted to
commit limited aid. As well as its support of Franco in the initial stages of the war, the Condor Legion perpetrated the now infamous bombing of
Guernica and they played a pivotal role supporting the nationalists in taking Catalonia. German involvement was important to the outcome of the war
as is played a crucial military role at critical times. –Italy gave the most assistance of all foreign powers. Mussolini wanted to be involved for a number
of reasons. First, involvement would be in line with his anti–communist/socialist/democratic outlook and his pro–fascist stance. Second, he wished to
enhance his influence as the key power in the Mediterranean and thereby demonstrate Italy's

The Spanish Civil War
This investigation assesses to what extent the economic and social problems of Spain were involved into leading the Spanish civil war (1936–1939).
This topic at the start inspired my attention because of the many long term causes of the Spanish civil war. I decided to narrow my attention on to
the economic and social problems since they both go hand in hand of the Spanish civil war since it was one of the long term causes of the Spanish
civil war. The two books are sources to investigate this with an evaluation of their origins, purpose, values and limitations. I then go on to analyse
how different books viewed the Spanish civil war. With this we can draw a conclusion on how much social and economic factors lead to the Spanish
civil war. B. Summary of Evidence In the early decades of the twentieth century, Spain was still a in the main agricultural country and more than half
the employed population worked on land. (Knight, 1998). According to Anthony Beevor commercial activity in Spain was behind mainly because of
the way the Catholics had maintned. In 1788 a census was carried out that showed that 50 percent of the adult male education was not involved in
