The Battle of Harama

The attack at Harama was important for many reasons, not the least of which was that it represented a clear end to Nationalist supremacy in two key areas. Varela requested further reinforcements before any further attacks were ordered. This pause provided time for Republican forces to be brought into the area and a counterattack to be launched. The counterattack was not able to erase all of the Nationalist gains, but it did seriously reduce the ability of the Nationalists to attempt another attack.
