Talk:Spanish Civil War/to do

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • article is too long: possibly 'people' and 'Political parties and organisations' should be moved to subarticles ... also "Spanish Civil War in popular culture" could be a new page with books & films
  • Executions on each side: The fact that repression on the republican side is far more detailed than repression on the nationalist side, could lead a reader to conclude that the republican factions executed as many people as the nationalists during the war, which is far from true. It would be nice to have some numbers on the dead from executions or terrorism from each side.

agreed -- tried to do so with earlier edits citing figures

  • This Background sentence needs to be expanded: "Following Primo de Rivera's overthrow in 1930 the monarchy was unable to maintain power and the Second Republic was declared in 1931." Unable to maintain power: why exactly? Was it a coup? By whom? What exactly led to the declaration of the Republic? The premise of much of the article is that Republic was a legitimate government (which I am quite ready to believe) and the Nationals/Nationalists were rebelling against that legitimate government needs to be supported and explained here.JKeck (talk) 00:18, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
