While another world war was heating up, fascism came marching into this country when Francisco Franco attempted a coup.

The Spanish Civil War kicked off in 1936. Lasting three years, the war began with a military revolt against the established government, resulting in a failed coup. The Nationalists (aka, the rebel army) then initiated a bloody civil war, which was partially funded by the Nazis and Fascist Italy. In the end, the Fascists won out, and Francisco Franco served as Spanish dictator until 1975.
