The Republican side included not only government forces but anarchist and socialist trade unions. Many militias were not under direct Government control, belonging to whatever labor union or local forces raised them. Many militia lacked discipline as well as artillery and support weapons.
Spain built a number of I-16 fighter aircraft under license from the Soviet Union. Aircraft were purchased abroad some transferred to the Republican side through arms merchants in Belgium and Communist supporters in Mexico.
The international communist movement took great interest in the Spanish Civil War. Somewhere between 30,000-32,000 foreign fighters travelled to Spain to fight for the communist cause. The fighters came in all sorts – communists, anarchists, unemployed workers, and adventurers. Though France remained neutral, the French communist party supported recruitment and provided uniforms. Brigades underwent intensive training and were well disciplined and highly motivated.
In the Spanish Civil War, Stalin saw opportunity, not only to advance communism but to let the European powers exhaust themselves.
