# Spanish Republic Proclaimed After Election

> Municipal elections toppled the monarchy and installed Spain's Second Republic, setting the stage for civil conflict.

## Summary

The phrase Spanish Republic at war refers to the Second Spanish Republic during the Civil War of 1936–1939. It represents the last stage in this war's history. The territory that remained under its control after the coup of July 1936—which was called the republican zone or the loyalist zone—gradually reduced as the rebel zone spread, until it was finally occupied in its entirety by the Francoist side.
