Throughout all of Spain's history there have been numerous social groups that have caused unrest and turmoil. Due to a lack of solutions being found to solve these evident problems, in July 1936 Spain erupted into a fierce civil war.

In the years 1930 and 1931 3 different wars had been started in Spain, with the majority of this fighting being created by the various social groups in Spain. These groups can be split into 5 main separate groups, the Anarchists who were a group of anti-clerical peasants who led numerous strikes against businesses and plotted assassinations against government officials. The second group is the Spanish army who refused to support any change in Spanish government

The Second Republic's attempts to deal with all the problems surrounding the republic alienate the right who thus became politically organised, but these measures weren't enough to appease the Left who in turn became divided. From the start of the Second Republic they were up against as it was still the industrial; clerical; large land-owners and military oligarchy who controlled Spain in 1931. The republic needed

The new constitution that was produced in December 1931 delivered a very controversial document, that contained many articles to provoke attack from many influential Spaniards. It included some anti-clerical clauses and declared that Spain is a "Republic of workers of all classes", these clauses were seen as very socialist which many important people disliked greatly for they had a lot to lose. However the substantial part of the document reflected the views of middle-class Left Republicanism.

In concluding the radical policies of the Second republic along with many other long -term divisions within Spanish society all came to a head for a final civil war of wars in 1936. Possible without some significant factors in the long-term, intermediate and immediate causes, war may have been avoided. However with all these culminating together war was inevitable.

The growth of violence and the military and revolutionary threats from the left and the right are the final straw before war outbreaks. After the February elections of 1936 the Socialists refused to join the government for they feared that to be part of a government characterised as the government of 2blood, mud and tears" would tarnish their reputation. They also had another motive for not joining the government, which was that, if they were engulfed in details of the government all the time, it would hold back all their revolutionary ideas and goals, which would thus make them, lose ground on the communists. The government formed was a minority cabinet formed by Azana of left-wing liberals, the cabinet depended on the support coming from the Popular Front parties in parliament. During this time in parliament many difficult decisions had to be made resulting in an increase in friction in Spain. Amnesty for political prisoners was given but whether to give reinstatement and compensation for Asturias workers was a sensitive subject and was fought with difficulties. When the Catalan government was restored it demanded extra powers, and the Basques wanted to follow suit but these weren't given. This only heightened problems for the government, they had already restored things for the Catalonians but they wanted more and it seemed as though they would never be satisfied. This also occurred when the Agrarian reform was restarted giving more land to the peasants and taking it away from the landowners in the South. Nobody was satisfied as the peasants wanted more land, and the landowners were losing all their land. To try and avoid trouble army leaders dispe
