“The Good Fight” shows incite from a few Americans that had big roles in the Spanish Civil War effort. These Americans explained that it was simply a natural response to want to help. Many of them grew up being oppressed in their communities in big cities like New York, because of the diversity. So when they heard what was happening in Spain, they naturally wanted to help. They said that because of the news, they started to fear that Hitler and Mussolini wanted to take over the entire world, so they needed to stop them before they really got started. A new incite that these people explained was that Spain was the first to really fight back. There was obviously people that did not support Mussolini and Hitler, and they even explained that in China, no one fought back. However, in Spain, every fought the forces trying to take Madrid. And people all over the world came there to support.
The key connection to these people responding is what you mentioned. They too, had experienced oppression and they wanted to prevent Fascist oppression in Spain.
The Americans involved were not completely sure what they were getting involved in but wanted to preserve democracy. It surprised me that the Americans that were helping in the effort were being threatened to have their citizenship taken away. It also showed me that the people there knew that they were not supposed to be there and tried to hide their presence there for the war in multiple ways. Having Americans involved probably opened them up to many new cultures and made them more accepting of international people. All of these people were fighting for the same cause and saw themselves as one unit even though they were all from fifty-two different countries.
The Americans that were dealing with their citizenship being threatened had joined organizations labeled as 'radical' because they believed that these organizations were fighting for democratic principles.
“The Good Fight” shows new incite from multiple Americans that had helped fight in the Spanish Civil War. People from all over the world, including America, had sort of “band-wagoned” together from different battalions to help fight for a cause they believed in. The video reveals how it was almost second nature for these people to join in because they knew what it was like to be oppressed, have their rights taken from them, or deal with fascism. It’s amazing how many people from countries all over the world began to volunteer with battalions from their nation to help Spain and it’s people. It helps showcase the American Abraham Lincoln Brigade alongside similar brigades from nearly 50 other nations. This video helps to show the role Americans played in the Spanish civil war and ultimately shows how so many different people from different cultures and backgrounds, came together as one to fight for such a strong cause.
“The Good Fight”’s strongest historical aspect is it’s first-person account of the happenings during the time period. The interviewees all provide their account of their involvement in the Spanish Civil war. Most have very different methods and lengths of involvement, but all tell of their very similar motivations. They realized that freedom was being compromised and that as they deserved freedom, so did the people of Spain from fascism. This unique insight is historically significant because it shows that despite the government’s position of isolationism concerning the Spanish Civil War, many citizens felt the inspiration and call of duty on the grounds of American ideals.
I found interesting that the people who went to fight for democracy in spain were from groups that are now demonized as "trying to ruin America", communists, socialists, etc. While the rest of the country was staunchly isolationist, these groups that are decried as radicals were worried about the problems that caused WWII long before the general population. It also seemed notable that a good number were part of groups that have been historically discriminated against, African-Americans, Jewish People, women etc. It was interesting that they fought in integrated units when the Government didn't integrate the armed forces until long after WWII. Also interesting was the woman who, when she challenged the fact they wouldn't let her be an ambulance driver, got what she wanted when she said she was being discriminated against. This definitely would not have happened in the government military at the time.
Excellent, Clarissa! You perceived in this response what I found truly "eye opening" about this video. It challenged the more traditional interpretations of American history that are often ingrained into our 'heads.' Great work! Everyone should read your response!
The documentary "The Good Fight" demonstrates that Americans in the 1930s, even in spite of their economic struggles and isolationist attitude, wanted to keep democracy around the world alive. A general perception of American attitude during this time is that they wanted to focus completely inward to recover from the Depression and stay away from European conflicts. The documentary shows firsthand accounts of people who destroy that notion. They were so enthused about protecting democracy worldwide that they were willing to lie to their families, go on mile-long treks across mountainous terrain, and smuggle themselves across borders to do so. It showed a sense of great morality for Americans that even in times of great struggle, they still opposed the idea of fascism.
This video documents the few Americans who were not isolationist in this time. These were principled Americans who risked much and overcame much to participate in the Abraham Lincoln brigade and take the lead in fighting against Fascism.
As Spain began begun a brutal civil war, America was an isolationist country. Even though Spain was a democracy, America wouldn’t even fight to preserve that. “The Good Fight” showed the groups of people in the United States that risked their lives for a country that wasn’t even their own, all to keep fascism where it stood. These men and women were brave enough to risk their lives, smuggle themselves over boarders, and even lie to their own families, all in an effort to fight. These men and women came from all different nations, different backgrounds, but with one central cause, they were able to band together and fight the fascism menace.
These were principled people with democratic ideals who believed that Fascism must be defeated before it spread to America. They took great risks and demonstrated much courage in joining the Abraham Lincoln brigade.
“The Good Fight” showed historical incite on the roles Americans played in the Spanish Civil War, from the perspective of those who fought in the war. The incite is showed in interviews from veterans from the war. The accounts all very in length things seen and done but the motives for fighting are all very similar. The Americans saw the freedom they enjoyed and loved being threatened in another country and sought to protect the same freedoms they enjoy everyday. This is unique because the U.S. government’s position was to stay out of the war and not protect a fellow democracy, but yet many Americans found it necessary to protect the Spanish democracy.
“The Good Fight” gives viewers great incite to the position of American citizens during and leading up to the Spanish-American War. As with any controversial issue, opinions towards the matter varied greatly. The topic was much debated because America had been traditionally isolationist. However, with fascism spreading across Europe, many felt democracy was being threatened. Americans got involved because it appeared the dangerous powerful leaders were not looking for just European domination, but world domination. Many of the people who got involved were young men and women seeking to be heroes, if you will. Not only did they feel they were helping out Spain, but protecting America.
This was not a majority of Americans. Most were isolationist. These were brave Americans who took the fight against fascism long before the rest of the country was ready to.
"The Good Fight" depicts the role of Americans in the Spanish Civil War. Even though it seems contradictory to "fight for democracy", Americans felt very passionate and felt that it was their responsibility to ensure the safety and stability of the Spanish democracy. Some felt so passionately about their cause that they were willing to go to great lengths to be able to contribute and help. The documentary shows the story of a man who lied to his mom and pretended that he was working in a factory, when he was really in the military. This documentary illustrates how involved America was willing to get, especially considering their previous isolationist standpoint.
"The Good Fight" shows the involvement and effect that the United States had during the Spanish Civil War. Americans felt like it was the right thing to do to fight for Spanish democracy. This tends to be controversial because they are preaching peace and democracy, yet they are still in war. It is also controversial because America was isolationist. Others believe involvement was a good thing because fascism threatens democracy. Overall, Americans were very passionate about democracy and were willing to represent the United States for it in the Spanish Civil War.
This was a small minority of Americans who bravely chose to stand by their convictions and fight against Fascism in a time period of high isolationism.
"The Good Fight" documents the history of Spain in the 1930s fighting for democracy. At the time, America was a country that was strictly isolationist, especially after World War I. When Spain was struggling for their once representative government, America failed to extend a hand of aid. A group of Americans found that their country's decision to not involve themselves within the Spanish conflict was absurd; it seemed the universal goal to stop the spread of fascism suddenly wavered. Deeming it their responsibility, groups of Americans went oversea to Spain to help protect the democratic cause. Obtaining new identities, these people risked their lives for something they believed passionately in - a world of just, anti-fascist order.
The documentary "The Good Fight" depicts the courage of the American's voluntary efforts to go to "fight for democracy" in Spain. The Americans wanted to fight for the equality and freedom of the Spanish people, despite the American's socioeconomic struggles during the 1930's. The American people were willing to go to great lengths to protect the freedoms of others, such as the Spanish. The documentary depicts the young men lying to their parents to avoid their concern and then their photos being shown on the air. The bravery of these men not only helped Spain avoid the controlling leadership of the time, but also protected America from a similar threat on the home front.
These are a minority of Americans who stood up agains Fascism before America's entry into World War Two. Unfortunately, due to the isolationism and appeasement that was being practiced, they will fail in their efforts to preserve the Spanish Republic.
"The Good Fight" did an excellent job of showing the desire of Americans to get involved in the Spanish Civil War. It was interesting to note that the majority viewed the idea of helping as a natural response to what was going on. While the interviews provided displayed great bravery and courage, they also showed the fear of Hitler and Mussolini that was spreading at the time. This fear along with the desire to help moved many to unite as one and fight. Even though the government had an isolationist position, the citizens of the country pushed through in order to help protect democracy.
Many did respond, but it was still a vast minority of the U.S. population. Those who did respond were those who belonged to so-called 'radical' groups of the time who believed that they were standing up for the preservation of democracy.
“The Good Fight” is a documentary that gives new incite concerning Americans of the 1930s and their involvement in the Spanish Civil War. Five years before the United Stated entered World War II, Americans went off to Europe to fight the spread of Fascism. Many of these Americans had previously lived in oppressed cities such as New York. Their immediate response was to do all they could to help. One of their biggest fears was that Hitler and Mussolini would take over the entire world. The documentary shows interviews with survivors who experienced the Abraham Lincoln Brigade for themselves. The survivors fought to protect democracy worldwide and the circumstances did not matter. Many Americans felt the need to protect the Spanish democracy even though the United States government’s stance was to not get involved in the war.
One of the more interesting things to me about this documentary is how these people who had expressed hardship and oppression themselves felt an idealistic calling to go fight fascism and oppression abroad.
"The Good Fight" gives a new incite to how American's viewed the Spanish-American war. For the most part, much of what I knew about America's involvement was to stay strictly isolationists. After the hardships of WWI and the great Depression I can see why the U.S. government wanted to stay out of this fight. However, during this documentary I saw that there was a group who wanted to enter the conflict. Watching these people stories made me realize how important it was that the U.S. government enter the Spanish civil war. The fight against Fascism was important to these people for a good reason. If we did not join forces to keep it contained, it could travel to the United States. I was astounded by the bravery of the people who traveled in disguise to fight against fascism
Bravery is demonstrated by those who volunteered in the hopes that the American government would eventually join with them. The government never did so, which FDR later expressed regret over.
"The Good Fight" provides insight that citizens saw that they had a duty to protect democracy on a global scale. This provides contrast to the idea of almost unanimous belief in isolationism. Citizens were more than willing to practice civil disobedience and risk their citizenship for the belief that Fascism should be contained and that the citizens in Spain had chosen to have a democratic government yet their choice was not respected by the military. The United States lack of involvement in the Spanish Civil War is respectable yet in the back of my mind I had hoped they simply pardoned these people willing to help Spain. However seeing how passionate other citizens of the world were about this topic was inspiring. It's incredible how the world can come together towards a common goal even when discouraged by their government.
I love your last statement. Sometimes it takes citizens to motivate their government or country to action. Unfortunately, the U.S. will not get actively involved in the fight against Fascism until the attack on Pearl Harbor.
“The Good Fight” exposes the courage of minorities who denied America’s isolationist mindset, and fought against Fascism. Thousands of volunteers from many different countries were willing to take a risk. They were seen as radicals who were willing to fight even before the government decided to integrate armed forces. The live footage and interviews with survivors throughout the film illustrate that even they saw that other leaders were greedy for world domination.
Those who volunteered for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade were passionate in their belief that fascism and oppression of democracy. must be fought against.
"The Good Fight" allows a deeper view into the citizens whose unwavering dedication to the protection of democracy stood unwavering, not only on a national level, but on an international level. Their involvement in Spain illustrates sharply the transition America would experience in foreign policy. Though a sharp contrast to the government's isolationist policy at the time, these people risked their own citizenship where democracy is executed to the highest standard, to allow another country the opportunity to experience the same freedoms. What was most inspiring to me watching this was the sheer sacrifice this minority of people were okay with giving. They had to go to Spain under false pretenses, without government aid, without government support, and without government supplies. The immense bravery and feeling of responsibility is astounding. They felt that in order to protect their own homes, families, and country they must do what is right and prevent Hitler or Mussolini from taking over the world. In their eyes, Spain was just another conquest and America would be soon to follow. The anti-fascism sentiment was enough to bring together a group of immensely brave and courageous men who fought for another country's freedom.
Excellent response. You eloquently pervade the sense of dedication, courage, and sacrifice these volunteers of the Abraham Lincoln brigade demonstrated in fighting against fascism in Spain. They truly risked everything for their idealism and belief in a people's democracy.
