START: July 17, 1936.
CAUSES: Rebel generals, among them future dictator Francisco Franco, rose up against the democratically elected, left-leaning government. The conflict became a battlefield of ideologies -- church against the state; the landed against the landless, fascism against elected socialists and communists.
GLOBAL SUPPORT: In a conflict generally considered a precursor to World War II, Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy backed Franco generously and the Soviet Union helped arm the Republicans. The rest of Europe and the United States opted for nonintervention.
DEATH TOLL: Some 500,000.
END: April 1, 1939.
OUTCOME: The rebel victory began a Dictatorship which lasted until Franco's death in 1975. Spain then made a bloodless transition to democracy with a new constitution adopted in 1978. It is now a member of the European Union and the fifth-largest economy in the 27-nation bloc.
