Virtual approach to a battlefield
The poliorcetic of the twentieth century was characterized by the use of ephemeral trenches. The transformations caused by agricultural use or urbanization erased the evidence and structures of the combat zones. In the case of the conflict landscapes of the Spanish Civil War, it must be added that the disinterest of the administrations increased the degradation of the archaeological sites. The interest of citizens in the battlefields of the 20th …
Audiovisual narrative, re-enactment, and historical education
The audiovisual narrative is a widely used resource in the presentation of diverse historical content. Historical recreation, thanks to its ability to generate images of the past, when combined with the use of emerging digital technologies (CGI, computer-generated imagery), allows optimization of audiovisual narratives that present images and contexts of the past and its heritage. From a perspective of promoting historical thought, high school an…
Virtual and didactic approach to the defensive heritage of the 16th century Fort of the Trinitat (Roses, Girona)
The Trinitat Fort, built in the mid-16th century, is an extraordinary example of European military architecture from the mid-16th century, conceived as an artillery machine, whose mission was to protect the natural port of Roses (Girona, Spain). The fortification had a long history of warfare that ended with the Peninsular War (1808–1814), which turned it into ruins. In 2002, the Roses city council planned an ambitious architectural intervention …
Forgotten Pilots, Airfields and Aircraft
As the adage goes, ‘History is written by the winners’, and the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) is a example of how difficult it is to revert this process. Franco’s regime (1939–75) developed a range of narratives focused on a) the justification of the military rebellion against the democratically elected Second Republic government, b) the ‘damnatio memoriae’ of the Republican armed forces and c) the development of a collective guilt about the war. T…
Combined Arms Warfare in the Spanish Civil War
In terms of approaches to warfare, the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) has traditionally been seen as a transition between the First and Second World Wars. The idea is based on several reports written by designated observers from Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union. Certainly, some of the tactics and equipment of these armies made their first appearance during this conflict.However, this view raises several questions, as the experience and tactics ob…
The Spatiotemporal Model of an 18th-Century City Siege
The importance of terrain in warfare has often encouraged an intense relation between military conflicts and the use of techniques designed to understand space. This is especially relevant since the modern era, where the engineers who built and assaulted city defenses recorded the events with diverse documentation, including reports, diagrams, and maps. A large number of these sources contain spatial and temporal information, but it is difficult …
