Abstract

Ethno-nationalist exiles in the interwar period were a unique species. While some of them relied on their own diasporic networks and waited for a chance, others established agitation platforms and regarded themselves as an alternative International of the ‘oppressed peoples’. Most of these alliances ended in failure, as it proved extremely difficult to reconcile the demands stemming from divergent national claims, such as those of autonomist factions versus irredentist or pro-independence groups, or those of national minorities seeking reintegration into their motherland as opposed to groups seeking independence. This article explores the relationship between minority nationalist exiles and anti-fascism by focusing on three issues: the emergence and evolution of ‘international alliances’ of minority activists in interwar Europe; contacts and ideological exchanges between ethno-nationalist exiles and liberal and anti-fascist segments of European public opinion and, finally, the emergence of a transnational anti-fascist nationality theory.

The case of the radical Catalan nationalist Francesc Macià, who travelled to Moscow in 1925, provides one example of the strategic seeking out of Soviet Union support. Macià hoped that the Soviets would support Catalonian independence, thanks to the mediation of some Catalan communists who worked within the Comintern: see Ucelay-Da Cal, Enric and Esculies, Joan, Macià als país dels soviets (Barcelona: Edicions del 1984, 2015)Google Scholar.

49 It is worth noting that some Catalan, Basque and Galician conservative ethnonationalists also joined the Francoist side, as they shared with the Spanish traditionalists and Fascists certain values such as religion, social order and fear of social revolution.

51 Irish left-wing parties relied heavily on this past relationship to underscore their sympathy for the Catholic Basques. Solidarity with the Basque Country may also have played a role for some of the 250 Irish volunteers of the International Brigades, including the young Dubliner Sullivan Prendergast, who directly joined a company of Basque volunteers (Gudariak). However, mainstream Irish public opinion supported the Francoist rebels, due to their Catholic devotion. Only one Basque radical leader, Eli Gallastegi, found shelter in Ireland after 1937, thanks to his prior contacts with Irish activists. See Leach, Daniel, Fugitive Ireland.
