Francoist Spain ( Spanish: España franquista ), known in Spain as the Francoist dictatorship ( Spanish: dictadura franquista ), was the period of Spanish history between 1936 and 1975, when Francisco Franco ruled Spain with the title Caudillo. After his death in 1975, Spain transitioned into a democracy.
With the death of Franco on 20 November 1975, Juan Carlos became the King of Spain. He initiated the country's subsequent transition to democracy, ending with Spain becoming a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament and autonomous devolved governments.
The Reconquista had formally ended with the Alhambra Decree of 1492, which ordered the expulsion of Jews from Spain. At the end of the Spanish Civil War, according to the regime's own figures there were more than 270,000 men and women held in prisons and some 500,000 had fled into exile.
The Francoist dictatorship originally took a form described as "fascistized dictatorship ", or "semi-fascist regime", showing clear influence of fascism in fields such as labor relations, the autarkic economic policy, aesthetics, and the single-party system.
In November 1942, with the Allied landings in North Africa and the German occupation of France bringing hostilities closer than ever to Spain's border, Franco ordered a partial mobilization, bringing the army to over 750,000 men.
In 1973, due to old age and to lessen his burdens in governing Spain he resigned as Prime Minister and named Navy Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco to the said post, but Franco remained as the Chief of State, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and Jefe del Movimiento (Chief of the Movement).
As a result of these reforms, Spain was allowed to join the United Nations in 1955 and during the Cold War Franco was one of Europe's foremost anti-communist figures: his regime was assisted by the Western powers, particularly the United States. Franco died in 1975 at the age of 82.
By the time Franco dies in 1975, his regime had already begun to suffer severe setbacks, both socially and politically. His regime had lost the prestige and the hold it once had on Spain was less powerful than it had been for decades. People were already talking about life after Franco, even before he died.
The Franco regime executed tens of thousands of Republicans after the end of the Spanish Civil War.
The Basque separatist group ETA for all intents and purposes became inactive after the death of Franco since their main conflict had to do with their reaction to his strict nationalist policies.
When the border between Spain and Gibraltar opened up in 1985, the dispute over sovereignty ended for good as both sides mutually benefitted from the establishment of a booming free trade area.
Even in the early 21st century, the Catholic Church continues to control most aspects of education in Spain.
The Basque separatist group ETA carried out the attack that killed 200 and injured more than a thousand people on the commuter trains in Madrid in the early 2004.
For the most part, by the time of the Transition and beyond, Spaniards no longer had a disdain for manual labor and commerce. The negative attitude toward these types of work was now considered a thing of the past; Spain had entered into an entirely new phase of neo-capitalism and nearly everyone had embraced a new and powerful work ethic.
From 1937 to 1948 the Franco regime was a hybrid. Franco fused the ideologically distinct national-syndicalist Falange ("Phalanx", a fascist Spanish political party founded by José Antonio Primo de Rivera) and the Carlist monarchist parties into one party under his rule, dubbed Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista (FET y de las JONS), which became the only legal party in 1939.
Franco was recognised as the Spanish head of state by the United Kingdom, France and Argentina in February 1939. Already proclaimed Generalísimo of the Nationalists and Jefe del Estado ( Head of State) in October 1936, he thereafter assumed the official title of " Su Excelencia el Jefe de Estado " ("His Excellency the Head of State"). He was also referred to in state and official documents as " Caudillo de España " ("the Leader of Spain"), and sometimes called " el Caudillo de la Última Cruzada y de la Hispanidad " ("the Leader of the Last Crusade and of the Hispanic heritage") and " el Caudillo de la Guerra de Liberación contra el Comunismo y sus Cómplices " ("the Leader of the War of Liberation Against Communism and Its Accomplices").
