Abstract

The article from "All About History" details the Siege of Madrid that took place from November 1936 to March 1939 during the Spanish Civil War. The Republican government faced Francisco Franco's military coup, leading to intense fighting in the capital. Despite initial challenges, Madrid held out until 1939 due to popular resistance from various groups. The siege involved significant battles, such as the Battle of Jarama and the Battle of Guadalajara, ultimately resulting in Madrid falling to Franco's forces in March 1939. The aftermath of the siege saw a brutal White Terror period with mass executions and imprisonment under Franco's rule. [Extracted from the article]
