Francoist Spain 佛朗哥时期

Francoist Spain (also historically known as Nationalist Spain during the Spanish Civil War) refers to the period of Spanish history between 1939, when Francisco Franco took control of Spain from the government of the Second Spanish Republic after winning the Civil War, and 1978, when the Spanish Constitution of 1978 went into effect. It is the opinion of several historians that during the Spanish Civil War, Franco's goal was to turn Spain into a totalitarian state like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. However, Franco was able to take advantage of the resources of the Axis Powers and avoided becoming heavily involved in the Second World War. Franco´s regime evolved into a more classical autocratic regime. The parts of Spain under control of the rebel forces during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) were called Nationalist Spain.
