It covers why the Nationalists won, what conditions led to the civil war and how Franco governed Spain. The end of the episode is focused on the (incredibly impressive) efforts of King Juan Carlos I of Spain to bring democracy back to Spain. Ten Minute History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated. Recommended books:
