Well, Franco was a fascist (similar to a Nazi), so he "saved" Spain from communism by imposing a brutal, repressive, antidemocratic regime where the Spanish had no civil rights. The Spanish would have fared similarly under the communists, so it's a bit of a stretch to say that they were "saved" from communism, really.

What happened after Franco spoke out against Communism in 1943?

After Franco spoke out against Communism in 1943, he solidified his regime's stance against leftist ideologies, positioning Spain as a staunch anti-Communist state during the early Cold War. This rhetoric helped Franco garner support from the United States and other Western nations, which viewed his regime as a bulwark against Soviet influence in Europe. Additionally, Franco's anti-Communist stance allowed him to maintain control domestically by suppressing dissent and justifying repressive measures against political opponents. However, it also isolated Spain internationally for years, as many countries remained wary of his authoritarian rule.
