What countries fought in spanish civil war?

Francisco Franco and the Falangists (Nationalists) won the Spanish Civil War. Franco's troops defeated the Republicans and he and a cabinet chosen by himself ruled the country for almost 40 years. The military and the Church had great influence everywhere. This period is known as "La dictadura" and came to an end with the General's death in 1975 when King Juan Carlos I took over and democracy was adopted. Most historians agree that during Franco's regime the country was extremely poor and way behind the rest of the world in many respects. Anyhow, even today some nostalgics disagree with the democratic system, so you see how complex Politics can get to be. [Note: During the Spanish civil war Spanish Marxists self-proclaimed themselves as 'Republicans' (in name only) at that time. They were extreme left on the political spectrum and were aided in their cause financially and militarily by the then Marxist Soviet Union. This group was responsible for the burning of Churches, killing of religious leaders, imprisoning and torturing of non-Marxist leaders, and the attempt to create a Marxist State out of Spain. The Marxists were opposed by Spanish 'Nationalists' (traditional Spanish citizens) later led by General Francisco Franco who defeated Spanish Marxism at great financial and progressive cost to the country of Spain and its citizens. Historians are unanimous in that Spain is only now recovering from the damage done by Spanish Marxists in their attempt to overtake the country militarily]

What was Francisco actions?

In 1936, General Franco of the Spanish army conspired to overthrow the Republican government of Spain. His rebellion led to the Spanish Civil War, which lasted until 1939, costing several hundreds of thousands lives. He won the Civil War with the help of Hitler's air force and then established a Fascist Dictatorship which lasted until his death in 1975.


What was the result of the anschluss?

Anschluss was achieved in several different ways. Hitler was not going to make the same mistake he made in 1934. So by 1938, Hitler was allied with Mussolini. Also, Mussolini was occupied with the Spanish civil war, so unlikely to help Austria if Hitler did invade. Once Hitlers troops had marched into Austria, Hitler held a plebiscite (a vote). 99.75% of the Austrian population voted for a union with Germany. This is how Hitler achieved Anschluss

What advantage did the Communists have over the Nationalists in the Chinese Civil War They had a much larger army and got help from the USSR. They surprised the Nationalists by breaking their alliance?

The Communists had several advantages over the Nationalists in the Chinese Civil War, most notably their ability to mobilize and maintain strong peasant support, which provided them with a substantial base of manpower and resources. Additionally, they received significant military and logistical support from the USSR, enhancing their capabilities. The Communists also effectively utilized guerrilla warfare tactics, which allowed them to outmaneuver and surprise the Nationalists, particularly after breaking their alliance. These factors combined to give the Communists a strategic edge in the conflict.
