Spanish Republican Troops
During the Spanish Civil War, the country was divided into two sides: the Nationalists, led by a group of military leaders who wanted to overthrow Spain’s elected government, and the Republicans, an alliance of groups who resisted the Nationalists’ insurrection. This photograph shows a group of Republican soldiers entrenched during one of the civil war battles.
