''Euzko Gudarostea'' (modern spelling: ''Eusko Gudarostea'', "Basque army") was the name of the army commanded by the Basque Government during the Spanish civil war. It was formed by Basque nationalists, socialists and communists under the direction of ''lehendakari'' José Antonio Aguirre and coordinating with the army of the Second Spanish Republic. It fought the troops of Francisco Franco during 1936 and 1937. It surrendered to the Italian Corpo Truppe Volontarie at Santoña (province of Cantabria), while the rest of the Republican army kept fighting until 1939. This event is referred as the Treason of Santoña by some Spanish leftists. ==Gudari== The Basque word for a soldier, ''gudari'' (plural ''gudariak''), is a neologism (from ''guda'', "war", thus meaning "warrior" literally). The Standard Basque word is the Romance-derived ''soldadu''.〔(Hiztegia 3000 ).〕 Like other Basque nationalist neologisms (''ikurriña'', ''lendakari''), the meaning of ''gudari'' has been restricted to Basque concepts. The Basque word for an army is the Romance-derived ''armada''. The members of the Basque militant ETA consider themselves ''gudariak'' continuing the struggle of the Civil War Basque soldiers. This is contested by those war veterans that support the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV), Spanish Socialist Workers' Party or Communist Party. The ''Gudari Eguna'' ("warrior day") is thus celebrated separately: *by ETA supporters on 27 September, remembering the date (1975) of the execution of Jon Paredes, a.k.a. Txiki in Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barcelona, and Ángel Otaegui in Burgos.〔Gara: (27-IX-75: El día en que Franco gastó sus últimas balas ).〕 *by PNV supporters on 9 November since 1937.〔PNV press release: (Arzalluz acudirá el domingo al Gudari Eguna en Bilbao (2003/11/09) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euzko Gudarostea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
