Abstract

For the first time and using primary sources, we present a fundamental overview of the unique support and assistance provided to the Spanish Republic by the Committee of Friends for the Defenders of the Spanish Republic (CADRE). This solidarity effort relied on a broad political and social network, with its axis being their Bulletin (for dissemination, propaganda, exposure, and organization) that circulated in Lima and throughout the country from October 1936 to September 1937. The work was underground, against the current, and defiant, given the overt support that both influential powers and the iron-fisted dictatorship of Benavides provided to the Franco-militaristic and anti-Republican insurgency in Spain.
