The Aceituna Campaign took place during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. In December 1936, the Nationalists launched an offensive in order to occupy the town of Andújar. The Nationalists occupied {{convert|1000|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} and defeated the Republican Army at Lopera, but failed to occupy Andújar.

Background

On December 1936, Queipo de Llano started an offensive in the Córdoba province in order to capture the rich olive-growing area of Andújar,^[1] and to relieve the besieged civil guards of the Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza's sanctuary.^[2]

The offensive

The Nationalist launched their offensive on December 13, with 2,000 requetes and moorish troops (later 4,000). On 20 December, the Nationalist occupied the town of Bujalance, on 22 December Pedro Abad and Villafranca. The Spanish Republican Army decided to launch a counteroffensive in order to halt the Nationalist advance and a new Army of the South was organised, under the command of the General Martinez Monje. The XIV International Brigade was sent to the Córdoba front. On 24 December the 9th company of the XIV International Brigade (600 men) was decimated by the Nationalist troops at Villa del Rio (400 dead) and the Nationalist occupied Villa del Rio and Lopera and on 25 December Montoro. On 27 December the XIV International Brigade launched an attack in order to recover the town of Lopera. The Brigade suffered appalling casualties and the attack was called off on 29 December. By December 31 the Nationalist occupied the town of Porcuna and halted their advance.^[3]

Aftermath

The Nationalists occupied {{convert|1000|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} of olive-growing land (hence "Aceituna"), some towns and the hydro-electric station at El Carpio.^[4] Nevertheless, the Nationalist, did not occupy Andújar and on 1 May 1937 the Republican Army stormed the Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza's sanctuary.^[5]
