Spanish Nationalists Defeated

The Spanish Civil War seems over, as remaining Nationalist forces have capitulated or gone into hiding. Though Republican leadership has already seized upon this and declared the end of the Civil War, experts point at the ever-growing dissent within the Republican faction itself and argue it may simply be moving into a new stage. With the loss of a common enemy they deem it only too likely that these disagreements will further fracture the unity of the Second Republic. To some extent Republican leaders and the people themselves seem to see this too, as militias formed during the Civil War to defeat the Nationalists have not yet been disbanded, and instead maintain a vigilant eye on their neighbors.
