- Notes:
- This map illustrates fighting in the Spanish Civil War between forces loyal to the democratically-elected, leftist Republican government of Spain, shown in white, and the rebels under the fascist general Francisco Franco, in black. The white and black arrows represent foreign arms and other assistance flooding the country on both sides, particularly the aid to Franco from Hitler and Mussolini. The British government had adopted a position of neutrality and an arms embargo. This map illustrates a pamphlet by H.N. Brailsford imploring the British Labour Movement - "whether within the official Party or outside it" (p.12) - to support the Spanish Republicans, notwithstanding the unwillingness of labor to associate itself with allegedly communist forces. Leventhal 1985, 249-254.
Brailsford was "a prolific, influential, and admired observer of domestic and international affairs," for half a century "one of the finest of British journalists . . . a major figure on the British Left." Willis 1986, 178-79.
For a similar map conveying the same situation at a time less favorable to the Republican forces by the conservative journalist Harold Cardozo, see ID #2328.
