Why did Spain descend into civil war? In the mid-1930s, most European countries were wary of war with their foreign neighbours but in Spain war was about to break out on the streets. Political issues ranging from the place of an established Church in society, to pay concerns, unemployment, and land ownership tore Spain apart. The left and right became increasingly polarised, and eventually split into the warring Nationalist and Republican camps.

A thing, you kept showing the Crown of Towers as a monarchist symbol, when it in fact was a Republican one. It was styled in the image of a Crown, but since the Republic obviously didn't want any monarchist iconography they replaced it with a crown made of towers instead of royal symbols

Some inaccuracies/omissions: -Falange was by no means popular or relevant enough before the war. During its entire parliamentary existence the number of seats they got I believe could be counted with one hand. It was during the war, especially after Primo de Rivera's execution at the hands of the Republicans that Franco martyrised and instrumentalised the Falange for his own popularity. -The Communists had actually two camps: the Stalinist and the POUM (who were accused of being trotskyites but they themselves denied this) -The Falange itself also had two camps: the Falange herself (led by Primo de Rivera) and the JONS (national syndicalists led by Ledesma Ramos), they united before the war. Primo would be shot by the Republicans while Ledesma would even after the war continue acting as a dissident Falangist to Franco's "Frankenstein monster" that was the FET de las JONS which was a somewhat forced union between the Carlists (traditionalist monarchists) and the already mixed Falange de las JONS.

All of this started because Ferdinand the seventh failed to produce A son.

So does anyone think that there was even a slight chance the 2nd Spanish Republic could've survived, or was it doomed from the start? Clarification: Could the Republic have survived without devolving into civil war at all?

I'd argue that what started the Spanish Civil War was Napoleon seizing control of the country and putting his brother on the throne in 1808. Spain would seem to keep tearing itself apart over the issues of democracy vs autocracy after this, and Ferdinand VII only made a bad situation worse.

Good video, it summarizes situation quite well. Spanish civil war is quite well known and it was very important, but it seems that in contrast to other well known civil wars people don´t usually know who fought against who and why (other than the "left against right" and that some Francisco Franco won). I also recommend Homage to Catalonia from Orwell, it gives pretty interesting new perspective on whole conflict.

Its not about belief in good will, its about believing the others will do evil no matter if they realize it or not.

It was german and italian support that allowed the nationalists to win. Mainly italian weapons and ammunition. The generals had not anticipated a long war and without a massive support operation their rebellion would either have been crushed or the war would have turned into one of attrition with little if any gains.

Another thing to add to the conversation that often times gets omitted is the impact the soviet revolution had on the psyche of the spanish right. The socialist revolution and later marxist revolution was never really meant to go the way the soviets went about it, at least according to Marx. The soviet revolution was a bloody affair in a country that was by all intents and purposes, a backwater. It effectively created a new blueprint on how socialism was to be enacted and in the case of Spain, the violence was both out of hand and nearly a daily occurrence. The levels of paranoia that the right had about a soviet style civil revolution was simply inmense. Ironic that in the end, they would plunge the country in a civil war anyways, though the left did not help matters in any capacity. Just tragic all in all.
