Here's an interesting nugget that I read last night...
Apparently, back in 1937, the then Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden warned that Britain would consider actively interfering on the Republican side of the Spanish civil war if the Nationalists continued to attack British shipping in the Mediterranean. Now, for someone who knows very little about the era, what would be the likely repercussions of this? Could WW2 break out two years earlier?
