Line 10:
After the fall of Guernica, the Republican government began to fight back with increasing effectiveness. In July, they made a move to recapture [[Segovia]], forcing Franco to pull troops away from the Madrid front to halt their advance. Mola, Franco's second-in-command, died in a plane crash on June 3, and in early July, despite the fall of [[Bilbao]] in June, the Republican government launched a strong counter-offensive in the Madrid area, which the Nationalists repulsed with some difficulty. This was the [[Battle of Brunete]] (Brunete is a town in the [[Community of Madrid|province of Madrid]]).
Franco soon regained momentum, invading [[Aragon]] in August and then [[Battle of Santander|taking]] the city of [[Santander, Cantabria|Santander]] (now in [[Cantabria]]). On August 28, the [[Vatican City|Vatican]] recognized the Franco government.<ref>{{cite book |last=Romero Salvadó |first=Francisco J. |date=14 March 2013 |title=Historical Dictionary of the Spanish Civil War |url= |language=English |location= |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=978-0810857841|page=32|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i5e7wRi-HGcC&
