Abstract

Španjolski građanski rat jedan je od važnijih međuratnih sukoba na europskom tlu. Često je
etiketiran kao „generalna proba“ pred Drugi svjetski rat, kako zbog trajanja, tako i zbog
internacionalizacije sukoba i uplitanja stranih država. U ovom radu, kroz interdisciplinarni pristup,
pokušat će se dokazati drugačije značenje spomenutog rata, odnosno je li propaganda Španjolskog
građanskog rata postavila temelje i putokaze za propagandne strojeve velikih europskih sila. A ti
su strojevi neposredno nakon završetka Španjolskog građanskog rata započeli preinake na karti
Europe. Uz pomoć dostupne znanstvene literature radom će se detaljno upoznati s pojmom
propagande i kako je ona korištena u navedenom ratu. Također objasnit će se uzroci i tijek samoga
rata te njegove posljedice. Komunizam, odnosno strah od njega na Zapadu, pokrenut će ponovno
kotačiće europske povijesti usmjerene prema novom svjetskom sukobu. U radu će se prikazati
postojanje propagande davno prije burnog 20. stoljeća, ali i činjenica da je ubrzani razvoj
propagande upravo u 20. stoljeću neosporno dao svoj doprinos u kreiranju predstojećih sukoba.
Prva postaja nadirućeg propagandnog vlaka bila je upravo Španjolska i politički nemiri nastali
abdikacijom kralja Alfonsa XIII. te uspostavom republike 1931. godine. Nacionalisti na čelu s
generalom Francom i Republikanci kao izabrana vlast započinju građanski rat i novu međuratnu
krizu.

Abstract (english)

Spanish civil war is one of the more important interwar conflicts on Europe's ground. It is often
labeled as a dress rehearsal before the Second World War, in part for its duration, but also for the
internationalisation of the conflict and involvement of other countries. This paper will, through
interdisciplinary approach, try to prove a different significance of the abovementioned war. In
other words, did the propaganda of the Spanish Civil War lay the groundwork for the
propagandistic machines of the major European forces. Machines that will just after the Spanish
Civil war, start the rearrangements on the map of Europe. With the help of the available scientific
literature, the author will give us a detailed view on propaganda and how it was used in the
forementioned war. He will also explain the main causes and the course of the war and its
consequences. Communism, or rather the fear of it on the West, will roll the wheels of the
European history, guided towards a new world war. The paper will reveal the existance of
propaganda long before the violent 20th century, and also the fact that the 20th century fastgrowing propaganda gave its contribution in the creation of the upcoming conflict. The first station
for this imminent train is Spain and its political riots caused by the abdication of king Alfonso XIII
and the constitution of the Republic in 1931. Nationalists with general Franco and Republicans as
elected government, start of a civil war and a new interwar crisis.
