I'm trying to come up with ways for an early Republican victory to happen, as by 1938 the momentum seems to have been too for against them. My main ideas so far:

1 - If the Soviets pulled their support from the Republic early in the war, would this make French direct intervention any more politically viable for Blum? This could also weaken the PSUC thus leading to a more 'complete' revolution with more land seizures and decentralized collectivization.

2 - Is there any possibility that the Republican governments/local governments especially in Catalonia would arm the people preemptively a few days earlier than OTL, thus preventing rebel army units from rising up at all in some areas?
