Everyone Consider Themselves Entitled to Requisition… Requisitions and Seizures of Property in Galicia During the Civil War

Abstract

This article analyses the requisition and seizures of property in Galicia during the first months of the civil war. First, there are studied the legislation and the authorities and entities that ordered those, his purpose and the seized goods. Later the passive subjects are studied and there are examined the different social attitudes of the population using documentation of the Staff Officer’s Sections. We conclude that there is no generalized lack of control in the rear, compatible with the existence of a certain initial polycentrism, as well as the complexity of the people responses, including from unwavering supports to lower intensity resistance forms.
