Abstract

In this article, the authors approach the young people who joined the International Brigades that participated in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). With an approach that recovers aspects of intellectual history, a work is presented in which three concepts are linked –war, language and youth– in such a way that the contributions that come from general history, from documentation (and especially SIDBRINT, that is, the Digital Information System on International Brigades) and the evolution of education. To achieve its objectives, the article comprises three sections: the first highlights the presence of war as a historical constant; the second reviews the relations between language, militia and literacy, while the third deals with the links between the Soviet revolution and the internationalist ideology that, in one way or another, left their mark on the ideological and pedagogical program of the International Brigades.
