Dolores Ibarruri vs Lord Milner

Ibarruri, known as La Pasionaria, delivered a famous radio speech on July 19, 1936, ending with the slogan 'No Pasar

Ibarruri was elected as a deputy for the Spanish Communist Party in the February 1936 general election. Her election gave her a platform to advocate for communist policies and mobilize support for the Popular Front government.

Ibarruri was appointed president of the Spanish Communist Party (PCE) in 1942 while in exile in the Soviet Union. She held this position until 1960, leading the party's opposition to Franco's regime from abroad and maintaining its ideological alignment with Moscow.

After 38 years in exile, Ibarruri returned to Spain on May 13, 1977, following the legalization of the Communist Party. She was re-elected to the Cortes in the 1977 general election, symbolizing the return of democratic pluralism to Spain.

Lord Milner was appointed High Commissioner for South Africa and Governor of the Cape Colony. His aggressive imperialist policies and demands for British supremacy in the Transvaal contributed to tensions leading to the Second Boer War.

Milner was a key British negotiator at the Treaty of Vereeniging, which ended the Second Boer War. The treaty granted amnesty to Boer fighters and promised eventual self-government, but Milner's subsequent reconstruction policies were harsh.

Milner assembled a group of young British administrators known as the 'Milner Kindergarten' to reconstruct post-war South Africa. They implemented policies promoting British immigration, economic development, and the anglicization of the Boer republics.

Milner served as a member of David Lloyd George's War Cabinet during World War I. He played a key role in coordinating imperial war efforts and was involved in strategic decisions, including the Balfour Declaration.
