apr 8, 1936 - 1936 Election

Description:

Left wing victory and the establishment of the Popular Front. The Popular Front was the unification of a "left-wing coalition of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), Republican Left (Spain) (IR), Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), Republican Union (UR), Communist Party of Spain (PCE), Acció Catalana (AC) and other parties." This is a turning point as this is the first time the right wing parties had a challenger, and they lost to this new united coalition.
