La Masacre que Hundió a la Segunda República - La Matanza de Casas Viejas

In January 1933, a small, isolated farming village in the province of Cádiz became the scene of one of the greatest tragedies of the Second Spanish Republic. What began as an anarchist uprising inspired by libertarian communism ended up transforming into a brutal repressive operation that shocked all of Spain. The burning of Seisdedos's hut, the executions of unarmed peasants, and the actions of Captain Manuel Rojas unleashed a political scandal that brought Manuel Azaña's government to its knees and forever changed the course of the Second Republic. What really happened in Casas Viejas, and why did that massacre become one of the most controversial episodes in Spanish history? In this episode, we reconstruct the Casas Viejas Massacre, tracing its social and economic causes through the anarchist uprising of January 1933, the assault on the Civil Guard barracks, the tragedy at the Seisdedos hut, the subsequent executions, and the enormous political impact that shook the Republican government. We will analyze the roles of the CNT, the FAI, Manuel Azaña, Santiago Casares Quiroga, Captain Manuel Rojas, and journalists like Ramón J. Sender, as well as the parliamentary investigations, the subsequent trial, and the consequences that marked the end of the first two years of the Republic. A tale of war, revolution, repression, and power that leads us to one of the most dramatic, controversial, and decisive events in the history of the Second Spanish Republic.
