Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today.

France massed troops in French Morocco and threatened to occupy the Spanish side if the Nationalists refused to quickly oust the Germans reported in the territory. France feared that Germany was building up troops there under the guise of “volunteers” in preparation for a surprise attack on French Morocco.

The Spanish government ordered an evacuation of all citizens remaining in Madrid.

Britain warned its citizens that anyone volunteering to fight for either side in the Spanish Civil War would be subject to prosecution under the Foreign Enlistment Act of 1870
