Francisco Franco
Most, if not all, of Franco's ways of doing things were based off of the way Hitler and Mussolini did things. He had a lot of support from these two dictators. They teamed up in somethings too. Franco's main goal was to take over all of Spain.
In 1923, Franco became in charge of the Spanish Foreign Legion. And in 1928 he was appointed commander of Spain's new Military Acadamy. He became the youngest general in Europe by 1926. During SCW he emerged as the Nationalist's leader against the Popular Front Government. His tactics received important support from Hitler and Mussolini during the Civil War. In fact, he based most of his tactics off of theirs.
Top 5 Things to Hate about Franco 1. He incouraged the Legion to kill prisoners and when they attaked, they destroyed EVERYTHING in their path. 2. He was the General and leader of the Nationalist's who overthrew the democratic republic of Spain. 3. He used propagando and censorship to make himself look good, and get people to like him, and follow him. 4. Developed his mythical status among the Spanish population using lessons from Hitler and Mussolini. 5. Strictly controlled and influenced public opinion in order to get people to support his mythical image.
He came into power because he was appointed 2nd in command of the Spanish Foreign Legion. He encourged the legion to kill prisoners. He used propaganda and censorship to maintain his image and cult his personality.
