During the years preceding World War II, Europe changed. New countries formed and the older ones fell apart. One of the older countries in turmoil was the kingdom of Spain. From 1936 until 1939, a bloody, violent civil war raged within its boundaries. Stretching from the northern part of Africa to the Pyrenees Mountains, the fighting led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Spaniards, Italians, Russians, and Americans. The Americans were volunteers who formed a little known, but well-respected legion called the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Together with the Spaniards and Russians, they fought to protect an ideal many Americans take for granted, democracy.
