 The Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) forced some of the most prominent Spanish philosophers to move to Mexico. Joaquín Xirau (1895–1946), José Gallegos Rocafull (1895–1963), Wenceslao Roces (1897–1992), José Gaos (1900–1969), Luis Recasens Siches (1903–1977), Eugenio Ímaz (1900–1951) and Eduardo Nicol (1907–1990), would live, spend their careers, and die in Mexico. Juan David García Bacca (1901–1992) and María Zambrano (1907–1991) spent part of their exile in Mexico. Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez (1915–2011), Ramón Xirau (1924–2017), and Carmen Rovira (b. 1923) arrived in Mexico at a young age, and completed their studies in their newly adopted country. All of them left a valuable imprint on Mexican philosophy through their creativity, teaching, and translations.
