“There is a tendency to consider Spain as part of a simplified, uniform picture of European and world history - this is especially true for the period of the Civil War. Often there are parallels and references, for example, a reconquist is compared with the Crusades, and the war for the independence of America - with Latin American wars. It is important in each case not only to study the specific circumstances and the course of events, but also to consider them within the framework of a longer segment of Spanish history. ” (Jeremy Black)
