The Spanish Civil War is one of the great tragedies of our time. Seen as a proxy war beetween the minions of communism and the new world order against the old forces tradition, religion and capitalism, Spain became the chessboard for an international struggle of conflicting ideologies, a struggle wich would evolve into the Second World War. It seems doubly absurd, on first glance, trat Limerick (Ireland), a geographically isolated provincia city and with an avowed and proud policy of neutrality, would also play a role in this conflict. Yet, Limerick, its elected representaitves and its people did play a definite and active role in the Spanish Civil War. This role may not have been of great military significance, but it was one of political importance and it the light of recent studies on the Spanish Civil War and De Valera's Ireland, it is undoubtedly a role which deserves a fresh historical investigation and appraisal. This study of Limerick's role in the Spanish Civil War does help us to reach a deeper understanding of this historical period in Limerick and the interaction of the city with developments in Irish society.
