Summary: After the King abdicates in 1931, a republic is formed. The government was formed from the left wing, communists, socialists, and anarchists, and the right wing opposition to the goverment was supported by the Church, army, and the Falange who was led by General Francisco Franco.
Subjective question: If the right wing had more support, would the right wing have started a war?
