FYI The Good Fight: The Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War

[Christopher Hitchens]

A documentary about a glorious but tragic history, about the first time a country, Spain, fought back against Fascism, and about the Americans who went to fight there. This, of course, after the people of Germany and Italy folded to it without a real fight, well finally in Spain there was one. ✊✌️👍

Although called petrol bombs, the first use of Molotov Cocktails was at the Battle of Seseña during the Spanish Civil War against Soviet T-26 tanks

Really I read, in multiple places, that it started in the Finnish-Soviet war in the 30s. The Finns called their incendiary bombs Molotov cocktails.

I just read a bit of the wiki article on it and you are right it was then, the Finn’s are the one who gave it the name though.
