He fought a civil war from 1936 to 1939, and won.
While he was an absolute dictator he was also a Spanish Patriot through and through. His only concern was the well being of Spain and it's people. You can abhor his methods, but you can't ignore his results. He grabbed Spain by the nap of the neck and dragged it, kicking and screaming, into the 20th century, and then he left it well on the way to being a Constitutional Monarchy. I would say that was no small feat.
I lived in Spain the last 10 years of his life. I respected him.

What did Francisco Franco do as a dictator?
While Francisco Franco was in power he helped to stabilize the economy of Spain, which had been ruined after the Spanish Civil War. The civil war occurred because of the rebellion against the government of Spain. Franco and a group of others who had a strong disbelief in the policies of the Republican government formed a coup to revolt against the government of Spain and to gain power over the government. These attacks on the government eventually turned into the civil war between the Republicans and the Nationalists. In the end, Franco led the Nationalists to victory with the support of Hitler and Mussolini. During Franco's reign, the economy was restored. There were three main factors which contributed to the improvement of the economy of Spain. The first factor being the tourism in Spain. With beautiful beaches, lovely warm weather and bargain prices, Spain managed to attract many tourists. The second factor was the foreign investment. The USA was the most important source. The third factor was the emigrant remittances. More than 3 million Spaniards emigrated to other countries. This provided the country with much needed monetary envoys. Not only did the economy improve during Franco's reign but many people who held the beliefs of a Republican were killed. Hundreds of thousands of Republicans were imprisoned and nearly 200,000 were summarily executed or killed. Franco also introduced a new system called the 'New State'. This system was based on the fascist ideas of unquestioning loyalty, the denial of individual rights and freedoms and state intervention in economic and social management. Also during his rule, trade unions were banned, strikes were forbidden, divorce was illegal, abortion was illegal, political parties outlawed, no freedom of speech, no freedom of the press, no freedom of religion, civil marriage banned, media silenced. Franco's actions were obviously highly dictatorial during his reign.
