What was going on in Spain in the 1930s?

In the 1930s, Spain was marked by significant political and social upheaval, culminating in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The decade began with the establishment of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931, which faced intense polarization between leftist and rightist factions. Economic challenges, regional tensions, and social reforms sparked widespread unrest, leading to the rise of military leaders like Francisco Franco. The civil war ultimately resulted in a fascist Dictatorship that lasted until Franco's death in 1975.
