When General Francisco Franco was one of the chiefs, part of the Spanish army hit a coup d'état.

88

years ago

18 July 1936,

When General Francisco Franco was one of the chiefs, part of the Spanish army hit a coup. The coup failed because it did not gain power in a few days, but as a result a workers’ movement was organized to seize weapons and take control of the workshops and lands, starting a three-year war and a 40-year fascist dictatorship. The persecution against the Basque and the Basque people was total.

1946Joseba Elosegi, together with some friends, put the ikurrina at the tip of the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd of San Sebastián

1961ETA tried to do its first major task: to get off the road a train carrying former Francoist soldiers

1961Venezuelan Maria Mercedes Antxeta was arrested in San Sebastian by Francoists, being tortured by Meliton Manzanas
