mar 28, 1939 - The end

Description:

Some 200,000 Nationalist troops enter Madrid unopposed. The Republican government fled to exile in France weeks earlier, and the city is in no condition to resist. It has endured a winter without heat, and starvation has claimed the lives of countless residents. By the following day, what remains of Republican Spain has surrendered. The war has lasted two years and 254 days; as many as one million lives have been lost, either directly through combat or as a result of privation. Franco establishes a dictatorship that would endure until his death on November 20, 1975.
