Parent Guide > The Spanish Civil War

This week in class, we’re reading "The Spanish Civil War" by Mike Kubic.

In "The Spanish Civil War: A Prelude to WWII," Mike Kubic discusses the rising tensions in Spain between the Republican loyalists and the Falangist nationalists in 1936 that eventually erupted into a civil war.

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of War & Peace as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :

"How are we changed by war?"
