The Italians and Germans supported Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War primarily to counter the spread of communism and socialism in Europe. Both countries, under Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, sought to establish fascist regimes and believed that a Franco-led Spain would serve as a strategic ally. Additionally, they aimed to test their military equipment and tactics in a real conflict. This support ultimately contributed to Franco's victory in 1939 and the establishment of a fascist Dictatorship in Spain.
