The Battle of the Ebro (Spanish: Batalla
del Ebro, Catalan: Batalla de l'Ebre) was the longest
and bloodiest battle of the Spanish
Civil War. It took place between July and November 1938, with fighting
mainly concentrated in two areas on the lower course of the Ebro River,
the Terra
Alta comarca of Catalonia, and the Auts area close
to Fayón (Faió) in
the lower Matarranya, Eastern Lower Aragon. These
sparsely-populated areas saw the largest array of armies in the Civil War. The
results of the battle were disastrous for the Second Spanish Republic with tens of
thousands of dead and wounded, with little effect on the relentless advance of
the Nationalists.
