Siege of Oviedo
The Siege of Oviedo was a siege in the Spanish Civil War that lasted from July 19 until October 16, 1936. The town garrison, under the command of Colonel Antonio Aranda Mata, declared for the uprising and held out until relieved by a Nationalist force.
==The uprising==
The Nationalists did not consider Oviedo, capital of the province of Asturias, as a likely place for a successful revolt, and initially it was considered a lost cause for the uprising. The town was the center of the Asturian October Revolution of 1934, and became an ongoing hive of revolutionary activity since the election of the Popular Front government earlier in the year.〔Hugh Thomas, ''The Spanish Civil War'' (1961), p. 148〕
Aranda was reputed to be a freemason and a Republican, and got along well with the local Republican officials; in addition, the Falange distrusted him.〔Gabriel Jackson, ''The Spanish Republic and the Civil War, 1931-1939'' (1965), p. 240〕 Aranda declared that he would be loyal to the Republic when the rebellion started on July 17, and he convinced the civil governor and the union leaders that all was calm. So satisfied were the authorities that 4,000 miners left by train for other parts of Asturias and Spain to fight in the growing conflict. Aranda secretly called in Civil Guard and Assault Guard personnel from all Asturias to concentrate at Oviedo. He had gained a reputation in Africa of being a top strategist, and after the miners left, he declared for the rebellion on July 19. The Falange, Civil Guard, and Assault Guard immediately rallied to his side.〔Hugh Thomas, (1961), p. 148〕 Aranda easily took over Oviedo as the republicans panicked, and the rest of Asturias became hostile toward him.〔 Between the two large zones, east and west of Oviedo, Aranda was landlocked and surrounded in the town.〔Ronald Fraser, ''Blood of Spain, An Oral History of the Spanish Civil War'' (1979) p. 238-239.〕
