-------------------------------------------------------------------
In July 1936, Franco launched an attempted military coup against the Popular Front Government, backed mainly by the aristocracy, large landowners, industrialists, bankers, sections of the army and the Catholic Church. Franco sought to overthrow the Government and establish a Fascist dictatorship.
The coup was met with fierce resistance from organised workers, particularly members of the anarcho-syndicalist trade union: the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) and other trade unions and political parties such as the socialist Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) and the Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista (POUM).
Across much of Spain - especially in industrial strongholds like Barcelona and the rest of Catalonia, and anarchist-dominated regions such as Aragón, Asturias and Andalusia – the working class and peasants formed armed militias, seized armouries, alongside the Cuerpo de Seguridad y Asalto (Assault Guards), and successfully halted the Fascist uprising.
Factories were seized and placed under worker control and land was confiscated and collectivised. The CNT, which had one and a half million members, played a central role in organising these efforts, helping local people to establish decentralised councils and militias to defend the Revolution.
