During these days in Feb 1937 up to 300,000 women, children, elderly and infirm fled after the fall of Málaga. 3-5000 were slaughtered as they tried to reach Almería by Francoist, Italian and Nazi bombing, strafing and shelling. It was the single worst massacre of #SpanishCivilWar.

This find was a first for here, a 6.5×52mm Carcano round found just near the house. A calibre often used for hunting, but probably a remnant from the #SpanishCivilWar going by the other finds, it was designed for a rimless rifle in circulation from 1891…

TIL #Mexico severed all diplomatic relations with #Spain for nearly four decades following its slip into #fascism post- #SpanishCivilWar. I wonder which of our allies will soon do the same to us. Isn’t it crazy how a modern power like Spain slipped so quickly, so precariously into fascism?

#Trump repeatedly mentions he all alone has stopped 8 wars, which is why he deserves the #NobelPeacePrize and not just the #FIFAPeacePrize. However, I can only remember the #AmericanCivilWar, the #BoerWar, #WWI, the #SpanishCivilWar, #WWII, the #KoreanWar and the #VietnamWar. I forgot which one?

I have been writing about an ancestor who fought against fascism & nationalism with the International Brigades in the #SpanishCivilWar, and I’ve just realised that #JourneyThroughTime is doing a series about it. Very grateful to them for covering this conflict, which has so much relevance today.
