can someone write a paragraph about the spanish civil war?

    The Spanish Civil War lasted from 1936 to 1939, it's said to cost perhaps half a million lives and depress even more. Ruined cities, towns and villiages were not a rare sight in the aftermath of the brutal war. For the victors it was a crusade against godless revolution, but for the defeated it struggle against the forces of reaction that has oppressed Spain for generations. Most see it as a battle between fascism and democracy. In July 17th 1936 a group of army officers rebelled against the government of the Spanish Republic, and workers took up arms to fight in the rising. Making what began as a millitary coup into 3 years of what's now called the Spanish Civil War. What makes the Spanish Civil War even more of a tragedy was before the beginning of the Civil War, exactly 5 years ago, the Spainards were cheering in the streets. Evidently in 1931 the proclamation of the Republic was born, and to the crowds the Republic meant that Spain had finally broken through the oppression that plagued the country's people. The king was replaced by mostly middle class liberals. Indeed birth of the Republic brought great hope to working class that their aspirations would be satisfied because for centuries peasants longed to own land, and industrial workers wanted their union rights recognized. For many the Republic seemed already the revolution, but the Republic's leaders knew that under the knew poltical surface the pillars of the old society remained untouched.

I wrote it a little long, and it's also my first draft; there may be grammical errors in the paragraph. I hope this helps :)
