Franco did not "fight" for either side. Spain had just come out of a brutal Civil War from 1936-1939. However, as Franco had been helped in that war by the Nazi Regime and Fascist Italy, Franco felt an affinity for those countries and had good personal relations with those leaders. Hitler tried to encourage Franco to join the war on the Axis side and by 1942, Franco was strongly considering entry. However, the Allied victories in El Alamein and Stalingrad in 1943 showed that the tide was reversing. Allied governments sent a message to Franco that if he remained neutral, his country would not be invaded and he would not be deposed from power. As a result, he chose not to enter the war and was bypassed by the Allied Liberation in Western Europe.
