CoA Spanish Worker's and Peasant's Army

After the Spanish Civil War concluded in victory for the republican forces, the Frente Popular reconstructed the country under guidance of the Soviet Union. The International Brigades were integrated in the Spanish Armed Forces, creating the Spanish Worker's and Peasant's Army, also dubbed the Spanish Red Army. Members of the Brigades were given the opportunity to recieve Spanish citizenship and several became important members in the new Frente Popular government. The influence of the USSR was balanced out by influence from the Internationals who gave the new government several strokes of other socialist ideologies, especialy from Germany and Italy, wich meant that the state did not turn into a Stalinist dictatorship but rather a more true council republic.
