This unit analyses Spain's brutal fratricidal conflict. Students will have access to a rich number of primary sources with which to explore key themes such as the comparative evolution of both warring camps including domestic repression, propaganda, mobilisation and centralisation as well as the crucial impact of the international response to the course and outcome of the war. This will include the way in which the Spanish conflict itself shaped the consciousness of European nationals and had an immense effect on the continental balance of power. The unit will conclude with a brief view of the war's legacy: the Spain that emerged in 1939 and the foundations of General Franco's new state.

How much time the unit requires

of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
