In this episode, Will and Karl Dahl discuss the course of the Spanish Civil War, with a focus on how Franco won and why that is relevant to us today. They discuss the tactics used by Franco's forces, how he managed relationships with Western powers by presenting himself as an anti-Bolshevik force, how he managed the Germans and Italians, and how he reinvigorated and rebuilt Spain after the war. They also describe how this is relevant to the modern right, and what helpful lessons can and should be drawn from it.
