Summary
This is the final episode in the series Partisans. While the Spanish Civil War came to an end in 1939 and the Irish returned home for many Spaniards, Basques and Catalans the conflict would not end for decades. To conclude the series I interview the expert Nick Lloyd for his insights into what happened after Franco took power. Nick explains what the Franco's regime was like, who were the winners and losers and how people resisted.

| 0:50.0 | Hello and welcome to the Irish History Podcast. My name is Finn Duwir and this is Partisans Part 10, the legacy and aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. |
| 0:58.0 | Now while I've always had an interest in the Spanish Civil War, it was a walking tour in Barcelona that really transformed this interest. |
| 1:06.4 | The guide of that tour was Nick Lloyd, an expert in the conflict who was a unique ability to bring history to life. |
| 1:13.6 | And originally I had actually hoped to go to Barcelona for a weekend, meet Nick |
| 1:18.0 | in person and record this final episode where the actual history took place. |
| 1:23.4 | Now obviously due to COVID-19 restrictions that's not possible, but nevertheless I was delighted |
| 1:28.4 | to be able to interview Nick to get his insights into the legacy and aftermath of the conflict because while the Spanish Civil War |
| 1:36.4 | came to an end in April 1939 and the Irish returned home, for many Spaniards, Basques and Catalans, the conflict did not end for decades, and I feel to conclude |

| 2:16.0 | After that I'll be making an episode on what it was like to live on an Irish pre-famine diet. |
| 2:21.0 | So for a day I'll be trying a diet that involves six kilos of |
| 2:24.8 | potatoes. Yeah, that's six kilos. I'll also be interviewing a food historian |
| 2:29.9 | so that should be a pretty different show. While I'm making those episodes, I'll also be starting preparation for a new mini-series that investigates one of the most intriguing and unsettling stories I've come across in our history. |
