The article examines the different interpretations of the Spanish Civil War, from the beginning of the conflict until today. In 1936-39, and during the dictatorship, there were two conflicting views: for the Francoists, it was the fight between Spain and Anti-Spain, and for the Republicans between the military and the people. After the transition to democracy, the historians were near to an agreement about the multiplicity of the causes and the universal responsibilities for the war. But in recent years a new confrontation has begun with the Neo-Francoist interpretations blaming the left for the outbreak of the conflict.
