The **Spanish Civil War** took place between [1936 and 1939](Timeline_of_Libertarian_Socialism_in_Southern_Europe "wikilink") between the [Republicans](Republicans_\(Spanish_Civil_War\) "wikilink") and [Nationalists](Nationalists_\(Spanish_Civil_War\) "wikilink") for control of the Spanish state, ending in a Nationalist victory. The Nationalists were composed of right-leaning capitalists, the church, the army, fascists, monarchists, landowners and much of the middle class. The Republicans were composed of much of the working class, [peasantry](Peasants "wikilink"), the navy, left-leaning liberals, socialists, communists and [anarchists](Anarchism "wikilink"). The Republicans notably begin to splinter into their own civil war owing to disputes between the anarchists and pro-Stalin communists. ## Notable Participants - [Isaac Puente](Isaac_Puente "wikilink") (Killed in Action)
