Summary
In a decade of cataclysmic worldwide depression and spreading fascism, the Spanish Civil War’s Anarchist forces signaled a message of renewed hope of emancipation to the scattered working-class forces throughout the globe. The question still remains though, as to whether these forces contributed to a revolution. The Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines revolution as thus: 1. a complete and forcible overthrow of an established government or political system. 2. Social. a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, esp. one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence (Random 1227). Under these requirements, the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939 (a.k.a. The Spanish Revolution) certainly does not qualify. As will be revealed later, the predominantly working-class Anarchist masses of Spain successfully mobilized an effective force realizing the potential of Anarchist doctrine, but failing to secure a complete change in national politics or social protocol
