About Francisco Franco (1892-1975)
Spanish general who won the 1936-1939 Civil War with Axis backing and ruled Spain as dictator until his death in 1975. Closely associated with António de Oliveira Salazar (Portuguese dictator and ideological cousin). For an intellectual contrast, see Dolores Ibárruri, Spanish Communist Civil War leader known as 'La Pasionaria' — Ibárruri's '¡No pasarán!' (They shall not pass) speech became the Republican rallying cry against Franco's Nationalist forces. Franco's Nationalist Spain and Ibárruri's Republican Spain were the two opposed answers to the same 1930s Spanish question — the Civil War's two sides personified.
