Date Posted: 11:33:26 04/05/02 Fri Calvo Sotelo was murdered in Madrid, during July, 1936 by uniformed forces of the State. When chaos and anarchy broke out all over the country, Catholic Spain turned its eyes to the Canary Islands. If there was to be a movement, nobody doubted who would direct it. An aeroplane left for the Canary Islands on 17 July bringing Spain's call to Franco. When be became convinced that there was no possible alternative he accepted, flew to Morocco, called the army into action, and it responded to a man. Soon all the best elements in the national life of Spain were flocking to the Nationalist cause with shouts of "Long live Christ the King," "Viva Espana," "Viva Franco", and at the end of two months General Franco was invested as head of the new Spanish State.
