Soviet Union
It was fought between the Nationalist forces led by Generals Francisco Franco and Emilio Mola Vidal, supported by Italy and Germany and the Republican Government's forces supported by France, and Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union supported the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War, which lasted from 1936 to 1939. They provided military aid, weapons, and advisors to the Republican forces fighting against Francisco Franco's Nationalists. The USSR aimed to counter the rise of fascism in Europe and promote communist ideology, although their involvement also led to internal conflicts within the Republican side, particularly with the influence of communist factions over other leftist groups.
One notable battle between fascists and loyalists occurred during the Spanish Civil War, specifically the Battle of Madrid in 1936-1937. This conflict saw Spanish Nationalist forces, supported by fascist regimes, fighting against the Republican loyalists who defended the Spanish Republic. The battle was significant for its intense urban warfare and the eventual resilience of the loyalist forces, which helped prolong the war despite the eventual defeat of the Republicans.
During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the insurgents, led by General Francisco Franco, received significant military support from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Germany provided troops through the Condor Legion, which offered air support and military advisors, while Italy sent ground forces and equipment. This foreign intervention played a crucial role in bolstering the Nationalist forces against the Republican factions.
Because the forces are supported by the various armed services, the exact number can vary widely. However, one estimate is that in 2011 the US had between 28,000 and 30,000 military personnel stationed in South Korea.
Most of military assistance was given to the Republican Forces by Sowiet Union and France.

The size of the Spanish army has varied significantly throughout history, depending on the period and specific conflicts.

Because it was a sort of proxy war where the Fascists & Nazis supported the Royalists (Franco's fascist forces) and the Republicans (supporters of the 2nd Spanish Republic, after the king's abdication). The Fascists & Nazis put a lot of force behind Franco (as did a surprising number of Irish fascists), but the Republicans were only "supported" by token Soviet forces & international volunteers (like the Abraham Lincoln Brigades from the USA). Bear in mind that most of the fascist powers, predominately Hitler, only used the Spanish Civil war to train his military and particularly the Luffewaffe

Italian forces, known as the Corpo Truppe Volontarie, played a significant role in the conflict, fighting alongside Franco's troops against the Republican side.
