Spanish Civil War (Southern Victory)

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was an internal conflict in Spain between Monarchists and Nationalists that came to take on international importance. Germany supported the Monarchists, France and Britain the Nationalists, Britain in particular sending volunteer troops in the form of the Unicorn Legion, so the conflict was seen as something of a contest between the Great War victor and the revanchist governments of the nations it had defeated. Surprisingly, the Entente-backed Nationalists won, suggesting a shift in the balance of power in Europe.
