Spanish Revolution
Following the end of the [[Spanish Revolution of 1936|Spanish Revolution]] and [[World War II]], the anarchist movement was a "ghost" of its former self as proclaimed by anarchist historian [[George Woodcock]]. In his work "[[Anarchism: A History of Libertarian Ideas and Movements]]", published 1962, Woodcock wrote that after 1936 it was "a ghost that inspires neither fear among governments nor hope among peoples nor even interest among newspapermen".
