Facing Fascism: New York and the Spanish Civil War The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was an early battleground in the international rise of fascism. Although the United States stayed officially neutral, thousands of Americans passionately took sides in the conflictbetween Spain's elected government and the rebellion led by General Francisco Franco and backed by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

New York served as the hub of media coverage, public debate, and recruitment ofvolunteers to fight in Spain. Facing Fascism: New York and the Spanish Civil War tells the stories of the New Yorkers who came to engage passionately in global politics in this tumultuous era, through photographs, letters,uniforms and weapons, works of art, archival film footage, and more.
