Large numbers of Republican supporters and other ideological opponents were rounded up and executed after the Spanish Civil War - as many as 400,000 in the estimates of some historians.

So many were killed that Franco's government had to take over the bullrings to carry out the executions (the sand in them was good at absorbing the blood of those killed).

Concentration camps,forced labour,heavy prison sentences and some death penalties were used throughout Franco's 36 year Dictatorship to deal with those who opposed him and his politics.

How was Francisco Franco's rule of Spain different from rule of Adolf Hilter and Benito Mussolini?

Francisco Franco's rule in Spain was characterized by a more isolationist approach compared to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, who pursued aggressive expansionist policies. While Franco was a fascist dictator, he focused on consolidating power internally rather than seeking territorial expansion. Additionally, Franco's regime was marked by a level of ambivalence towards Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, often prioritizing Spanish nationalism over ideological alignment. Ultimately, Franco maintained a degree of autonomy, leading to a distinct governance style that emphasized traditionalism and Catholicism rather than the totalitarian ambitions seen in Hitler's and Mussolini's regimes.
