How did Francisco Franco come to power?

Answer 1

He began the Spanish Revolution.

AnswerHe led a military coup against the democratically elected government of the Spanish Republic in 1936. The Republic armed the workers, who resisted the fascist takeover. A civil war ensued. Denied the aid of the democratic powers, the Republic sought and obtained limited help from Soviet Russia and also from a large number of foreign volunteers, but Franco's Nationalists received much more extensive foreign aid in the form of the decisive military assistance of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Eventually, the Nationalists won the civil war (1939) and Franco became head of state and dictator. For more details see Hugh Thomas, "The Spanish Civil War"; Paul Preston, "Concise History of the Spanish Civil War".

While he did have a genuine concern early on towards the needs of his people he would ignore what the people of Spain had to say in later years choosing to go on his own.

Answer 3

Dictatorship
