On 1st January 1936 general elections are called in Spain. It?s the second time women can vote. The election campaign shows an obvious difference between right and left-wing passions. On 1st February, 72% of the population votes. The Popular Front narrowly wins, causing a rapid decline in relations between the right and left-wings from words to actions. Soon set in motion is the military conspiracy led by General Mola, who achieves the collaboration of high-ranking officials moved to the outlying areas by Spanish Government, including Franco. Calvo Sotelo and Lieutenant Castillo are assassinated. The ?Dragon Rapide? flies from London to collect Franco. The North African troops rebel. Nothing can stop the approaching war.
