Abstract
Abstract This article analyses the relationship between the Welsh and the Basque Nationalist Parties during the Spanish Civil War. It pays attention to the ways in which the Welsh nationalist leaders interpreted this war and the role of their Basque fellows from 1936 onwards, and to the first attempts to create a formal relationship between them. The research focuses on three aspects. Firstly, the article explains the limited attention paid by the Welsh nationalist leaders to their Basque fellows. Secondly, it explores the political heterogeneity of Welsh nationalism in the 1930s and its internal problems as they are made evident through the study of the intense debates within the Welsh Nationalist Party over the Spanish Civil War. Finally, it will consider the international relationships of nationalist parties and the objectives which guided them in periods of tension and conflict.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
