Prime Minister Casares Quiroga met General Juan Yagüe
Time: Friday Jun 12, 1936
Place: Spain
Details: On 12 June, Prime Minister Casares Quiroga met General Juan Yagüe, who falsely convinced Casares of his loyalty to the republic. Mola began serious planning in the spring. Franco was a key player because of his prestige as a former director of the military academy and as the man who suppressed the Asturian miners' strike of 1934. He was respected in the Army of Africa, the Army's toughest troops. He wrote a cryptic letter to Casares on 23 June, suggesting that the military was disloyal, but could be restrained if he were put in charge. Casares did nothing, failing to arrest or buy off Franco.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
