Spanish Maquis



The Maquis ([ˈmaki(s)]; Basque: Maki ; also spelled maqui )[2][3] were Spanish guerrillas who waged an irregular warfare against the Francoist dictatorship within Spain following the Republican defeat in the Spanish Civil War until the early 1960s, carrying out sabotage, robberies (to help fund guerrilla activity) and assassinations of alleged Francoists as well as contributing to the fight against Nazi Germany and the Vichy regime in France during World War II.[4] They also took part in occupations of the Spanish embassy in France.
