My comment:

A very common term used in spanish is: "Entre la espada y la pared" in english "Between the sword and the wall", this term is commonly used when you are forced to make a choice.

This is it. It refers to historical conflicts, not to forced choices. "Entre la espada y la pared" is equivalent to "Between a rock and a hard place"
