The Spanish Civil War, lasting from 1936 to 1939, had a vast amount of different forces who fought for different goals. The Republican Faction, made up of socialists, communists, anarchists, liberals and Regional Nationalists, formed an uneasy coalition to fight the right-wing Nationalist Faction, made up of the Army, Falangists, Monarchists, Catholic Traditionalists, and African colonies. Both sides were supported by different foreign powers which range from limited aid to military intervention. In 1939, the Nationalists, led by Francisco Franco, secured victory and established a new regime. Bellow is a list of the make up of these factions.
