Republican Weaknesses: Political Disunity 🎭

- 📅 Date: September 1936.
- 🧩 Issue: Republicans were divided.
- 📈 Example: Imagine trying to choose a pizza topping with a group of friends, but everyone wants something different!
- Main Divisions
- Communists and Socialists 🌹
- Believed in postponing the ‘revolution’.
- 🏰 Stronghold: Madrid and Valencia.
- Communists and Socialists 🌹
- Anarchists 🖤
- Wanted war to be won through revolutionary policies.
- Believed in ‘revolution from below’.
- 🏰 Stronghold: Catalonia, Aragon, and Andalusia.
- 🌍 Real-World Example: Kind of like DIY or grassroots movements today!
- Impact of the War on Communist Popularity
- 📈 Growth: 40,000 members (July 1936) to 400,000 members (October 1937).
- 💡 Why? They had foreign support from the USSR.
- 😱 But: They used ‘terror’ tactics leading to issues like the ‘May Days’ in Barcelona in 1937.
- The ‘May Days’ Crisis 🌆
- 😡 What: Street fighting in Barcelona (May 1937).
- 👥 Who: Communists & Socialists vs. Anarchists & POUM.
- 🔄 Outcome: Caballero replaced by Juan Negrin, a Communist favorite. He ruled until a coup in March 1939.
Adelante: A Glimpse from 1937 📰
- The PSOE's Criticism of the Communist Party
- Accused them of forgetting their worker-centric theories.
- Saw them as giving false hope to the bourgeoisie.
- 🍕 Pizza Example: It's like when someone who always loved pineapple on pizza suddenly becomes a pepperoni advocate!
- Value & Limitations of the Source
- Value: Gives a perspective of political divisions.
- Limitation: It's from a specific newspaper, so it could be biased!
