Abstract / Description of output

This article critically examines the current debates on the repression following General Franco’s unconditional victory over the Republic in 1939. It analyses the claim that the regime’s treatment of the vanquished reflected a policy of extermination, and questions the validity of the frequent claim that Spain is second only to Cambodia in the number of mass graves. It stresses the significance of the institutionalisation of the repression in the winter of 1936–1937, and concludes that although the Francoist New State was determined to punish anti-Spaniards, it did not exterminate them.
