Why did Spain get involved with World War 2?

Answer 1

During World War 2 Spain did not join any actual fighting. Spain cooperated with Hitler and let German agents operate within Spain. Also, Spain did not provide a safe haven where Jews could escape from the Nazis.

Answer 2

not really though both sides were begging Spain the allies were begging Spain for entrance into France to simoultaneosly attack France from the north and south, the axis were doing the opposite

IMPUT: The allies never begged Spain to enter in the war. Meanwhile the axis power tried to introduce Spain in the war. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) Franco, the winner of this war, was aided by Hitler and Mussolini. After the fall of France, the axis powers strenghted their pression over Spain to enter in the war. In 1941, Franco and Hiler met in Henadaye, in the frontier between Spain and France to talk about the spanish intervention in the war, but the requests of Franco (he wanted the french territories in Morocco) were too much for Hitler and finally Spain stayed neutral. Nowadays there is a controversy in the spanish historiography about the true intentions of Franco. Some historians sais that Franco really did'n want enter in a war against the allies (specially because the spanish depedence to the commerce with Britain) and requested to Hitler imposible things. Furthermore Spain was almost destroyed after the civil war.

In other hand, finally there was a small participation of Spain in the war. The anticomunist bias of Francoist regime triggered the formation of a division of volunteers to figt in the eastern front against the societ Union. This group of volunteers is known as Blue Division or Spanien Divisionen. They fought mainly in the siege of Leningrad. Spain also sold wolfram (a mineral necessary to make ammunitions) to the Germans.

Answer 3

In World War 2 Spain had a Fascist government, similar to that of Italy and Germany. The dictator, Franco, remained officially neutral and because of that was allowed to remain the leader of Spain for many years.

Answer 4

This question is based on an incorrect supposition, namely that Spain was involved in World War II. At most, it played an ancillary role giving the Axis Powers pre-war training and opportunities to test their technologies during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. It was as a result of this Civil War that Spain remained neutral during World War II; to repair its infrastructure. By 1943, Spain considered entering the war on the Axis side, but responded to American threats that should it join the war, America would not hesitate to invade the country. As the tide was turning towards the Allies, Spain remained neutral and relatively untouched during the conflict.
