Why did Spain, the only powerful country in Europe, escape the bad luck of World War II?

As we all know, Germanic fighters almost swept the whole European continent, and France fell in just a few weeks. However, Spain, just across a mountain from France, is safe and sound. Spain did not escape bad luck so much as it experienced the bad luck of war in advance. The civil war initiated by Francisco Franco and other spearmen allied with Chytra brought endless trauma to the country, but it saved Spain from the meat grinder of World War II.

In fact, there are not only workers, peasants and trade unions, but also the Spanish government and armed groups of socialism, capitalism and anarchy in the left ranks (also known as loyal troops or Republican Bando). On the other hand, the Rightists (also known as Bando Nacional) are supported by rebels, industrial oligarchs, landlords, bourgeoisie and Catholic factions. What is more complicated is that * * * and the members of the party have received the support of the Soviet Union and some democratic countries in Europe. The right-wing troops were supported by equipment provided by the fascist regimes in Germany and Italy.

The Spanish Civil War (1936- 1939) was initiated by a group of Spanish troops who settled in Morocco. Francisco Franco, the most influential general in this army, led his army against Manuel Aza? The elected people led by A and the government launched an attack. In this war, all factions are ambiguous and ambiguous.

The left-wing armed forces are supported by some volunteers from Europe and North America. They are called international columns, and work with * * * and the armies of various countries. Some foreign artists and intellectuals also supported the cause of * * * and the Party, including ernest hemingway (as a journalist and photographer) and George Orwell (who supported * * * and the Party and was persecuted and prosecuted, so he was deeply disappointed with the disunity in the left-wing team). It is precisely because of the disunity of the leftist army that the Spanish Republic was completely destroyed.

History has proved that the Spanish Civil War was a bloody war. This is also the first real modern war in the world. For the first time, tanks and planes were widely used. The strength of the two sides is very close, but the right-wing armed groups are better and have received a lot of material assistance from Germany. In contrast, * * * and communists received little help from the Soviets, and the left camp included several different factions such as * * * productism, socialism and anarchism. It is precisely because of the large number of factions that the left-wing camp is divided into fragmented parts.

From then on, the Spanish under the leadership of Francisco Franco gave Hitler a lot of help. He only sent a small army, the Blue Army, to join the German army in the war of aggression against the Soviet Union.

General Francisco Franco's victory marked the beginning of Spanish dictatorship for more than 30 years (from 1939 to 1975). In the late Spanish Civil War, Hitler asked Francisco Franco to support his military action in order to launch the Second World War. However, Spain at that time was exhausted and could not provide any financial or human assistance to its ally Nazi camp. In a sense, the Spanish Civil War has become a training ground for the full-scale outbreak of World War II. It was the warm-up part of World War II, and the Spanish had already tasted the bitter fruit of the war before the people of European countries.

After the war, the Spanish regime headed by Francisco Franco was isolated to varying degrees internationally. It was not until 1955 that it was accepted as a member of the United Nations. 1970, Regent Francisco Franco regarded Prince Juan Carlos I as the heir of Spain and Chu Jun, and the Spanish monarchy was established. After Francisco Franco died in 1975, King Juan Carlos I was crowned. It was this new king who reopened the door to democracy in Spain.
