and most sources I have seen. Both sides committed plenty of atrocities, but most say more of them were perpetrated by the Nationalists, not least the infamous destruction of the Basque town of Guernica by Hitler’s Luftwaffe, immortalized in the famous Picasso painting.

For example:

“It has been calculated that the Nationalist Army executed 75,000 people in the war whereas the Republican Army accounted for 55,000. These deaths takes into account the murders of members of rival political groups...

“The economic blockade of Republican controlled areas caused malnutrition in the civilian population. It is believed that this caused the deaths of around 25,000 people...

“After the war it is believed that the government of General Francisco Franco arranged the executions of 100,000 Republican prisoners. It is estimated that another 35,000 Republicans died in concentration camps in the years that followed the war.”
