Spanish partisans were individuals who engaged in guerrilla warfare against the forces of the Franco regime during and after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). These fighters, often composed of former soldiers, communists, and anarchists, aimed to resist the authoritarian government and reclaim democratic freedoms. They operated mainly in rural areas, using their knowledge of the terrain to launch surprise attacks and sabotage efforts. After the civil war, many Spanish partisans continued their resistance against Franco's dictatorship through underground movements. They faced severe repression, including imprisonment and execution, but their efforts contributed to the eventual decline of the regime. Their legacy remains significant in the history of Spanish resistance.
