The neutral stance adopted by democratic powers upon the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War is well-known. The Non-Intervention Committee played a key role in this strategy, with Great Britain a key player in what became known as the "London Committee". British interests in the Iberian Peninsula, however, meant that events in Spain were of crucial importance to the Foreign Office and the victory of the Popular Front in February, 1936 was deemed a potential threat that could drive the country towards instability. This book explores how British authorities in Gibraltar ostensibly initiated a formal policy of neutrality when the uprising took place, only for the Gibraltarian authorities to provide real support for the Nationalists under the surface. The book draws on a wealth of primary source material,some of it little-known before now, to deliver a significant contribution to our knowledge of the part played by democratic powers in the 1930s' confrontation between Communism and Fascism. It is essential reading for anyone seeking a complete understanding of the Spanish Civil War 606 $aNeutrality$zGibraltar$xHistory$y20th century 606 $2European history 607 $aGibraltar$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zSpain 607 $aSpain$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1936-1939 615 0$aNeutrality$xHistory 676 $a946.081/34689 700 $aPonce Alberca$b Julio$01617393 702 $aSa?nchez Gonza?lez$b Irene 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814911503321 996 $aGibraltar and the Spanish Civil War, 1936-39$93948547 997 $aUNINA
