In the summer of 1936, a group of generals launched a coup to save Spain from its own democracy. What followed was a nightmare. The Spanish Civil War would claim half a million lives and divide a nation for generations.

From Franco’s ruthless rise to the bombing of Guernica, from the dreams of the Republic to the betrayal of the democracies that looked away, this episode unpacks the war that foreshadowed the Second World War, a conflict where poets became soldiers, cities became graves, and an entire country became a warning.

Told through the lens of power, ideology, and the ordinary people caught between them, this is the story of Spain’s lost revolution, and the lessons the world refused to learn.
