Spanish Civil War

Casares Quiroga refused an offer of help from the CNT and Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT)

Jul, 1936
Spain

On 18 July, Casares Quiroga refused an offer of help from the CNT and Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT), leading the groups to proclaim a general strike—in effect, mobilising. They opened weapons caches, some buried since the 1934 risings, and formed militias.
