I'm taking that exam as well.
Imagine,  the Spanish Civil War has never been on any IGCSE exam papers...it's the first time we get it and that means we can't go back on past papers or anything!

Basically, the paper will be based on Germany's involvement in the war. You don't need to know everything on the war, the main thing that you need to know is why Hitler got involved.Some things i can come up with are...
a) It was his chance to defeat communism there
b) He wanted to test out his new weapons and train his army for world war 2.

There are other reaons as well, i'm sure you can find them on the net or something.
I suggest you learn about the city "Guernica" as well, it's the city that Hitler bombed and Destructed.
Also remember that during this time, Mussolini and Hitler were allies. Their Enemies were Franco and the USSR.The Russians were basically supplying Spain with weapons.

The paper is gonna be on sources, so make sure you practice those as well.

By the way, i tried searching on the spanish civil war but there is such a lack of information..did you notice that too?
I can barely find anything on the internet about it. But what i did is asked my teacher and she helped me out, maybe you should do the same?

you were under the wrong impression my friend. You are going to have hell of a difficult time trying to understand the spanish civil war completely.

but i juz checked the syllybus n it said...
"Paper 2 will have two options : a 19th century and a 20th century. Candidates answer the question on one option.
For the examination 2009 the topics will be:

19th century: Modernisation of Japan (May/June examination)
                   The Causes of First world War (november examination)
2oth century: Spanish Civil War (may/june examination)
                   Soviet control (november examination)

Yeah, I don't really get what we have to do with 'German involvement in the Spanish Civil War' .
All I know is that it's damn well complicated.

I haven't read it all but this seems pretty decent:

Skip the first pages- they're just a really boring intro.

My pleasure. : D

I might have to get around to actually reading it...

You wouldn't happen to know how it works? My school doesn't tell us much about the History IGCSE. German involvement in the Spanish Civil War is going to come on the source based paper right? So we'd just need a sort of background information? Hopefully.
:S

So, all the questions will be about the Spanish Civil War?

Oh dear...
