From 1936 to 1939, Spain was embroiled in a civil war between the Republican government and the Nationalist forces. The Republicans, supporting the left-leaning Popular Front government of the Second Spanish Republic, faced a Nationalist alliance of Falangists, monarchists, conservatives, and traditionalists under the leadership of General Francisco Franco. Ultimately, the Nationalists prevailed, establishing Franco's dictatorship which lasted until his death in November 1975.
