Conclusion

This song covers a really important part of the world history, although it wasn't written in times of the Civil War, it represents very well the feeling about it.

We can remember, (and take lots of references) about how a lot of people over the world was affected bye the Spanish Civil War. The principal example of this is the case of the author, journalist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 Ernest Hemingway who was an active journalist during the Spanish Civil War, this inspired him to write For Whom the Bell Tolls, (also the book of what is believed to be the main inspiration for The Clash in "Spanish Bombs").

This book, and the song were very popular in English-speaken countries, and they were the main source of the middle class on the Spanish Civil War, mainly the song "Spanish Bombs", because it was launched at the end of the seventies in England and in the early eighties in the U.S., when a punk environment, destructive and revolutionary began to flourish in the minds of young people who would take the Clash and other punk rock bands as banner.
