The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) did not directly lead to World War I, as it occurred after the war had already taken place. However, it served as a precursor to World War II by highlighting the ideological battles between fascism and communism, influencing global alliances. The conflict drew in foreign powers, such as Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy supporting Franco, while the Soviet Union backed the Republicans, showcasing the rising tensions that would later contribute to the outbreak of WWII. Thus, while not a direct cause of WWI, it significantly impacted the political landscape leading into the Second World War.
