Did the Nationalists win the Spanish Civil War because of their strengths or the weaknesses of the Republicans? The evidence that supports the idea that the Nationalists won the Spanish Civil War because of their strength is abundant.

Nineteenth century society was not ready for Remarque’s new language of war. Until this novel society held the illusion of war as both glorious and romantic.

The last sentence of the speech sums up Wilson’s definition of freedom: “We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them.” Wilson also laid out a statement later to end the war. The Fourteen Points was a list of negotiations for peace that Wilson laid out to hopefully bring end to World War I. In this document peace meant freedom and without meeting
