The Spanish Civil War took place from 1936 to 1939 between a nationalist fraction and the Second Republic of Spain. The right-wing nationalists staged a coup because they disagreed with the left-wing policy of the republicans. The nationalists won the war and it led to the foundation of a military dictatorship led by General Francisco Franco. Around 500,000 people were killed in this war.
