North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy was an American organization established in 1936.
It was an umbrella organization for ethnic groups and trade unions. The ethnic groups and trade unions donated money, medical necessities and food to Spain through the North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy. These donations were sent to Republicans during the Spanish Civil War.
North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy was identified as a Communist front linked to the Communist Party USA. Historian Peter N. Carroll describes this organization as a \"Popular Front organization that attracted Communists and Christians alike.
History & Biography:The Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) broke out with a military uprising in Morocco on July 17, triggered by events in Madrid. Within days, Spain was divided in two: a \"Republican\" or \"Loyalist\" Spain consisting of the Second Spanish Republic (within which were pockets of revolutionary anarchism and Trotskyism), and a \"Nationalist\" Spain under the insurgent generals, and, eventually, under the leadership of General Francisco Franco.
By the summer, important necessities of the war become important, both in terms of atrocities on both sides and in the contrast between the Soviet Union\'s bekfast help to the Republican government and the committed support of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany for the Nationalists.
In the early days of the war, over 50,000 people who were caught on the \"wrong\" side of the lines were summarily executed. In these paseos (\"promenades\"), as the executions were called, the victims were taken from their refuges or jails by armed people to be shot outside of town. Probably the most famous such victim was the poet and dramatist Federico García Lorca. The outbreak of the war provided an excuse for settling accounts and resolving long-standing feuds. Thus, this practice became widespread during the war in areas conquered. In most areas, even within a single given village, both sides committed assassinations.
Any hope of a quick ending to the war was dashed on July 21, the fifth day of the rebellion, when the Nationalists captured the main Spanish naval base at Ferrol in northwestern Spain. This encouraged the Fascist nations of Europe to help Franco, who had already contacted the governments of Germany and Italy the day before. On July 26, the future Axis Powers cast their lot with the Nationalists. German assistance, channeled through Franco rather than to the Nationalists in general, consolidated his leadership position of the insurgency.
In the north, a rebel force under Colonel Beorlegui, sent by General Emilio Mola, advanced on Gipuzkoa. On September 5, after heavy fighting, it took Irún, closing the French border to the Republicans. On September 13 the Basques surrendered San Sebastián to the Nationalists, who then advanced toward their capital, Bilbao, but were stopped at the border of the province. The capture of Gipuzkoa had isolated the Republican provinces in the north.
Nationalist aircraft bomb Madrid in late November 1936.
Nationalist forces under Franco won a great symbolic victory on September 27 when they relieved the besieged Alcázar at Toledo. Two days after relieving the siege, Franco proclaimed himself Generalísimo and Caudillo (\"chieftain\"); he would forcibly unify the various Falangist and Royalist elements of the Nationalist cause.
In October, the Nationalists launched a major offensive toward Madrid, reaching it in early November and launching a major assault on the city on November 8. The Republican government was forced to shift from Madrid to Valencia, out of the combat zone, on November 6. However, the Nationalists\' attack on the capital was repulsed in fierce fighting between November 8 and 23. A contributory factor in the successful Republican defence was the arrival of the International Brigades, though only around 3,000 of them participated in the battle. Having failed to take the capital, Franco bombarded it from the air and, in the following two years, mounted several offensives to try to encircle Madrid. (See also Siege of Madrid (1936-39))
On November 21, Germany and Italy officially recognized the Franco regime, and on December 23, Italy sent \"volunteers\" of its own to fight for the Nationalists.
1930\'s Depression Era Cause Item. Economic hard time and massive unemployment lead to the defeat of Hoover -ism and the enactment of the FDR New Deal. During the era of poverty socialist and communist movements in the US were active finding support among the unemployed, labor union workers, displaced and impoverished. The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations, but in most countries it started in 1930 and lasted until the late 1930s or middle 1940s. It was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Great Depression is commonly used as an example of how far the world\'s economy can decline. The depression originated in the United States, after the fall in stock prices that began around September 4, 1929, and became worldwide news with the stock market crash of October 29, 1929 (known as Black Tuesday).
AMERICANA HISTORY: Campaign buttons and ribbons are used in the United States during an election as political advertising for (or against) a candidate or political party, or to proclaim the issues that are part of the political platform. Political buttons date as far back as President George Washington. They have taken many forms as the technology to create an image and mass production has allowed. In the late 18th and first half of the 19th century they were sewn-on clothing buttons, whereas the modern forms typically have pins on the back and are therefore also called pin-back buttons.Campaign buttons bear some similarity to bumper stickers, which are also used for political and other promotional messages.
