The Spanish Civil War was a microcosm of the ideological conflict of the 20th century. When Spanish fascists under Franco rebel against the newly elected left wing republican government, full-scale civil war erupts. Mussolini and Hitler send troops to Franco's aid. Soviet support of the Loyalists lends credence to the fascist claim that it is communism they are fighting, and the American public is confused over issues of fascism and communism.
