'''Francisco Franco y Bahamonde''' (December 4<sup>th</sup>, 1892 - November 20<sup>th</sup>, 1975) was a Spanish general and statesman who served as the leader of the [[fascist]] [[Spanish Fallange movement|Spanish Falange movement]] and a conspirator of the Spanish Civil War. He ruled Spain for about forty years, officially holding the title of ''Caudillo''. He led the Spanish far-right movements to overthrow the government and then shoved away any one deemed as a threat to Spain. While he stayed neutral during [[World War II]], he was considered an ally of the [[Axis Powers]] and sent aid to both [[Adolf Hitler]] and [[Benito Mussolini]] in the form of a volunteer groups like the spanish Blue Division. The growth proved too much for the economy, with shortages and inflation breaking out towards the end of the 1950s.

A staunch enemy of communism, Franco was a strong ally of the United States during the [[Cold War]], and aided them against the Soviet Union until his death in 1975.
