Hello everyone and welcome to History of the Second World War. On this episode of our Spanish Civil

War interview series, I was joined by Dr. Matthew Carey, the author of Unite Proletarian Brothers,

radicalism and republicanism in the Second Spanish Republic, which was released earlier this year.

Our discussion focused on the events in Asturias, a region in Spain in 1934. During October

1934, there would be a national strike throughout Spain, and in most areas this strike would

either quickly burn out or would be broken up by the government. However, in Asturias, the strike would

morph into a true revolution, and for two weeks, Asturius would be under the control

of revolutionary committees. In the end, 1,700 people would be killed in the region, and 260

members of the Spanish military would be included in that number. One of the topics that we touch

on near the end of this interview, and which I think is really important, is the role that

Asturius would play in Franco's narrative

of imminent and very possible revolution during and after the events of the Civil War.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Spiceroy. And then I bumped my microphone.

Okay.
