Ríos de tinta: la prensa y la opinión pública colombiana ante la Guerra Civil Española

Although it began as an internal conflict, the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) soon acquired an unprecedented international dimension. In the cultural field, the development and outcome of the war aroused a growing and constant interest among world public opinion. Colombia was no stranger to this phenomenon and the news coming from Spain occupied the front pages of the main newspapers in the country. This research analyzes some publications on the conflict in Spain that appeared in media such as El Tiempo, El Espectador, El Siglo, La Patria and La Voz de Caldas during the months of July and August 1936. The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of the Spanish Civil War on Colombian public opinion and on the political reality of the country.
