rdfs:comment
  • José Sanjurjo y Sacanell, 1st Marquess of the Rif (March 28, 1872 – July 20, 1936) was a Spanish Army General officer who was one of the chief conspirators in the military uprising that led to the Spanish Civil War. Sanjurjo did not live to take part in the war itself, as he was killed at the very outset, in the crash of the plane which was to take him from Portugal to Spain on 20 July 1936. Francisco Franco ultimately succeeded Sanjurjo as the leader of the Nationalist faction.
