History[edit | edit source]
It was born on October 6, 1936, from the anarcho-syndicalist tradition of the Aragonese peasants and the influence of the Revolutionary Cataloniaball which with militiamen secured control of
Aragonball to create a barrier against
Francoist Spainball during the Spanish Civil War. The Aragonese workers' militias initiated a social revolution that they implemented at Anarchist Aragonball, which did not destroy the
Second Spanish Republicball, but filled the power vacuum that the military rebellion of
Francoist Spainball had provoked.
Second Spanish Republicball thought that Anarchist Aragonball would be a great barrier against the
Francoists and therefore officially recognized Anarchist Aragonball on December 23, 1936. But then Anarchist Aragonball was losing against the
Francoists in the Aragon Front and Anarchist Aragonball would begin to suffer inflation, and whoever tried to escape from Anarchist Aragonball would end up in one of their gulags, concentration camps, or as a soldier in the Spanish Civil War.
Finally, Second Spanish Republicball stopped recognizing Anarchist Aragon on August 10, 1937 and annexed it completely with a military intervention under the command of the
communist Enrique Líster who was sent on "maneuvers" to dissolve the Council of Aragon (Anarchist Aragon). This was because Aragon Anarchistball acted very independently and the Second Republic was irritated by this.
After his death, several anarchists were interned in prisons under Republican control and the Aragon Front continued to be disputed between Republicans and Francoists.
