Guernica is the name of a small town in the way north of Spain that was bombed by the German's, with Franco's permission (leader of Spain) during World War II. Hitler wanted to test some new bombs and Franco said he could try it out on this village/town. The people had no idea - thus, Picasso's painting of the horrors of war, and the Horror of a leader who would permit that kind of atrocity to take place in his own country.
