Chapter 5 – Spain United – 17 August 1936
On the 17th of August the last pockets of Republican Spain laid down their weapons and surrendered.
The victorious Nationalists immediately began the process of taking over the government in Madrid; declaring Spain united once again. People celebrated and marched in the streets.
Meanwhile in London and Paris fears of an escalating fascist menace overrunning the whole of Europe seemed one step closer to reality. For now, there was little they could do, but watch and wait. The drum beats of war were slowly getting louder across the entire continent.
