On this day, 17 July 1936, a Spanish military uprising began in Morocco as right wing generals declared war on the new Republican government. In Barcelona workers began to respond as members of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), seized 200 rifles from the holds of 2 ships docked in the harbour and distributed them to union activists. These events marked the beginning of the Spanish civil war - and full-scale revolution would break out in the coming days. In this podcast we tell the story of the conflict: https://workingclasshistory.com/2018/07/29/spanish-civil-war-podcast/
