∙ 8y agoDuring the Post-War Franco Period (1945-1975), Franco became a strong ally of Western Europe and the United States, but was not allowed to join NATO since it was a dictatorship. When Spain became democratic in 1981 (1975-1981 was a transition period), Spain was offered membership in NATO, which it accepted in 1982.
Franco was a fierce adversary of the Communists and would never have joined Communists in the Warsaw Pact.
