The Spanish Civil War took place between 1936 and 1939 between the Republicans and Nationalists for control of the Spanish state, ending in a Nationalist victory. The Nationalists were composed of right-leaning capitalists, the church, the army, fascists, monarchists, landowners and much of the middle class. The Republicans were composed of much of the working class, peasantry, the navy, left-leaning liberals, socialists, communists and anarchists. The Republicans notably begin to splinter into their own civil war owing to disputes between the anarchists and pro-Stalin communists.
