PHILATELY OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR
War, of course, is a matter of armaments. Franco and his Nationalists enjoyed the largess of the German's and Italian's. The Republicans struggled to maintain their coalition and fund the war efforts.
While Hitler and Mussolini tested the resolve of the Democracies, the Republic of Spain looked for assistance to defend against the onslaught of facism.
Unfortunately, shades of the post war Cold War were already present over the continent of Europe. The principle benefactor of Spain was Stalin and his Communist Regime in Russia. As the dominance of Russian money came into play, the dominance of the Communists in the Republic became stronger, to the exclusion of voices which would have attracted support from England and the United States, who were as uncomfortable with Stalin as with Hitler.
The issue of 1937 acknowledging the 150th Anniversary of the Constitution of the United States proclaimed the brotherhood of Democracies, but was met with silence.
