Franco and The Spanish Civil War

A WebQuest for the 12th Grade

 

 

 

 

 

If we crush Fascism here we'll save our people in America, and in other parts of the world from the vicious persecution, wholesale imprisonment, and slaughter which the Jewish people suffered and are suffering under Hitler's Fascist heels.”

Canute Frankson. Albacete, Spain. July 6, 1937.

 

 

 

 

Introduction:  The Spanish Civil War is viewed as one of the forces behind the start of World War II. The war was fought entirely in Spain in 1936-1939 between forces that wanted to maintain the Spanish Republic and those that wanted Spain returned to a more traditional society. In the end, over 500,000 people were killed in this war, and the result of the war was a dictatorship in Spain that lasted into the 1970s. This WebQuest will introduce you to the reasons for the war, the forces of the war, the leader most associated with the war, and the reaction to the war in the United States.

 

 

 

 

Objective: Navigate through the various sections of website information on the Spanish Civil War, answering the questions in each section. Each section of the site (such as “Causes of the War”) will be completed in-class at the computer lab, and we will attempt to finish each section in a one hour period.

 

 

After these in-class assignments are done, you will devise a timeline and a report described at the end of the site.  These assignments will be done out of class and are due two weeks after the in-class activities are finished.  

 

 

The required report and websites featured are in English. However, some of the sites feature Spanish language areas which can be beneficial.

Try communicating with experts at these forums:

 

 

Education Forum: Ask An Expert: Spanish Civil War.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Need journal or magazine articles for the project?

 

 

Try the INSPIRE databases that are free to use in the school computer lab.  When you log in, you see a list of all the different databases you can search on. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the useful ones to chose for these assignments could be the Academic Search Premier for general articles about the Spanish Civil War, Biography Resources Center for articles about Franco or other leaders during the War, Image Collection for photos of the war, Military and Government Collection for articles on the forces in the war, or MAS Ultra for articles written for high-school audiences.  For instance, a “keyword” search of “Francisco Franco” with MAS Ultra highlighted gives you a list of over 100 articles, including these three: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your Assignments:

 

 

1.  With your knowledge of the events of the war from this webquest, create a timeline of six significant events of the Spanish Civil War using the Teach-nology timeline creator or another related program online. Below is an example template that I created on the Teach-nology site. Be sure to include an event from each year from 1936-1939 and at least two events for each side of the conflict.   

 

 

 

 

 

2.    It is 1936. You are an American senator and ranking member of the Armed Services Committee. You are in your home district on business.  A Civil War has just begun in Spain, and your local citizens want to know what actions you believe Americans and American soldiers should take.

 

 

Will you support American intervention? Will you support the continuing American isolationism? If you support intervention, what side do you support? Do you believe that this Civil War is part of a greater world movement of dictatorship that must be prevented? Do you believe that the insurgent forces could return Spain to more traditional values? 

 

 

Keep in mind, the district you represent is primarily suburban, conservative, has a lot of big business, and has a high percentage of Catholic citizens, which according to the research you have done, could place your district as pro-Franco. Bear in mind, however, that your speech will be heard and reported on by national sources.

 

 

This is your culminating assignment in which you to show just how much you’ve learned about forces of the war, the causes of the war, and America’s role in the war. In a seven minute speech which is to take place at the local city hall, please cover many of the issues raised above. Please consult with the materials in this WebQuest and any additional sources on Americans and the Spanish Civil War that will give credibility to your speech.

Teacher’s Resource Page

 

 

          This WebQuest was created because the Spanish Civil War was a significant political and historical event of the 1930s, but it is not covered extensively in many world history or Spanish textbooks.  This activity is challenging and therefore is intended for 5th year (12th grade) Spanish students, as the links provided on this page often feature Spanish language supplemental material. 

 

 

        This time allotted to complete the activities is at your discretion.  One possible method would be to allow one in-class period for each of the four sub-sections of the website.  In addition, the two larger assignments at the end of the WebQuest could be assigned to be due a week to two weeks after the in-class work is completed. 

 

 

        Some of the more well-respected books on the topic of the Spanish Civil War include Hugh Thomas’ The Spanish Civil War (1961), Anthony Beevor’s revised The Battle for Spain (2006), and Frances Lannon’s The Spanish Civil War (2002). The Lannon book is a quick 96 page read and would be the most appropriate for a high school audience.  However, portions of the other two titles could be photocopied and studied in class.  The Thomas work is considered the most extensive and accurate tome of the war ever recorded. 

 

 

        The assignments on this WebQuest tie in with Indiana’s Academic Standards for high school students in World History.  In particular, the standards covered are Standard 10: “An Era of Global Conflicts, Challenges, Controversies, and Changes: 1900 to the Present.”

 

 

 This assignment covers World History standard 10.3 Compare the totalitarian ideologies, institutions, and leaders of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Describe acts of oppression, including extermination by the Nazis and Soviet Communists against particular inhabitants within their countries, and acts of aggression against other countries during the 1930s by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.” The Spanish Civil War, fought in the 1930s, featured major participation and aggression by both of those countries on opposing fronts  

 

 

The assignment also covers standard 10.4: Trace and explain the antecedents, causes, major events, and global consequences of World War II, including the Holocaust.” Many historians agree that the Spanish Civil War was a major antecedent of World War II, as it allowed another Hitler sympathizer to rise to power in Europe. 

 

 

        Good luck in the application of this webquest to your classroom and do not hesitate to adjust to the needs of your class schedule.
