I can think of two reasons. 1) Communism and Democracy allied to fight against Fascism and Naziism as they would later do in World War 2. And 2), tanks and military aircraft along with the tactics of mobile warfare were tested in Spain before WW2.
The Spanish Civil War was a rehearsal for Germany to test out some of its weapons and leaders. The Germans sent the Condor Legion to fight in Spain.

A reason that is NOT for the Civil War is to get more land.
Both sides in the Spanish Civil War received aid from outside Spain. France did not receive aid during or as a result of the Spanish Civil War.
Because the German Air Force practiced dive bombing in Spain during their civil war.

The Spanish Civil War
Both the Mexican War and Bloody Kansas have been referred to as the Dress Rehearsal for the Civil War.
Yes, it has certainly been viewed in that way. The lessons of World War 1 were learned more quickly by some nations than others. Mobility was replacing the static defense. The airplane and the tank were improving in both their technology and tactical employment. Military techniques practiced on a primitive level in the Spanish Civil War were used more widely and effectively in World War 2. I have heard from multiple sources that the Spanish Civil War was a rehearsal for World War 2, and I think that this statement has much validity.
The so-called Indian Wars followed the Civil War. The next war against a foreign power was the Spanish-American War in 1898.after the civil war the war was called Spanish-American war
No. In 1936 Spain and Spain fought a war called the Spanish Civil War. A civil war is fought in a divided country, not between two countries. However, outside countries can support one side or the other in a civil war. Germany and Italy supported the Nationalist side in the Spanish Civil War, and the USSR supported the Loyalist side.,
It's called "La Guerra Civil" and lasted from 1936 to 1939.
Hitler was fascist. The Spanish rebels were fascist. They got along. Same reason he supported Mussolini.
Blitzkrieg - the German army had developed a new type of warfare. It used tanks and dive bombers to smash enemy positions and drive through them quickly. These tactics had been tried out in the Spanish Civil War.
