General Francisco Franco (1897-1975), styled as Generalísimo, led the revolt against the Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and thereafter ruled Spain as military dictator (Caudillo) until his death in 1975.
In the 1930s, the commander who led his forces to victory (that is, overall victory) in the Spanish Civil War was Francisco Franco Bahamonde (1892-1975). A general in the Spanish army, Franco assumed a leadership role in the Civil War when it began in 1936; by the end of the conflict in 1939, he had become the military dictator of Nationalist Spain.
During the Spanish Civil War, the republicans were those who supported the existing government of the Second Spanish Republic. They included people who believed in a democratic (republican) form of government as well as more left-wing groups including communists, socialists, syndicalists, and anarchists.
They were opposed by Fascists and many monarchists.
