Captions available
The idea
After two years the anchor calls anarchy, a Popular Front of liberals, socialists, communists and anarchists won the election of February nineteen thirty-six. General Franco, with the army, the Falange, the Church and the nobility, rose in July and seized key regions, backed by Germany and Italy.
In practice
Loyalists against nationalists.
Where people slip
The anchor's "1935" is corrected to thirty-six.
