Singular update today. Not too many new developments here, but I was watching some old US propaganda films from the war and noticed the way Spain is usually conspicuously absent when discussing the lead up the war, presumably as a consequence of Franco's neutrality. So I started wondering what an entry in the Why We Fight series that dealt with Spain would look like, and I wrote it. In short, lots of comparisons to American history, inflation of casualty counts and death tolls, presentation of the civil war as a foreign Nazi-Fascist plot, and careful avoidance of any mention of communism or the violent anticlericalism that was such a prominent feature of the SCW.
