Guernica was the name of a town in the Basque country of Northern Spain. In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, it was indiscriminately bombed and vrtually obliterated by Hitler's Luftwaffe, possibly under orders from Franco himself. (Nazi Germany, together with the Italians under Mussolini, were aiding Franco's pro-fascist forces in Spain). Many civilians were killed and the town burnt for three days.
Picasso's painting was the artist's reaction to the atrocity.
There are many websites discussing the painting, (just google the artist and painting's name), however this one should start you off;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Guernica
it gives a pretty detailed account of the bombing and a couple of links to the painting.
