Julio Mangada

At the end of the war he fled Spain aboard the ship Stanbrook to Algiers, and after some months to Mexico, where he died.

•

In his late twenties he became an Esperantist (1906) — joining the Hispana Societo por Propagando de Esperanto, which had been founded in 1903 — and immediately began to promote the Esperanto language by means of a magazine.

•

From 1928 until 1930 he was publisher of the Hispana Esperanto-Gazeto. Mangada represented the Spanish government at five World Congresses of Esperanto.

•

In Spain, at the age of eight, on the occasion of the republican rebellion of General Villacampo, he ran to the Guadalajara railway station to hear rebels joining with children in cries of "Viva la República!"
