What about countries who didn't succumb to fascism? That time period was rife with fascists.
Spain, England, random mini countries in Europe, America. All had fascist parties that lost their spunk in that time because they defeated them in the polls/fought them.
Nazis weren't the only fascist group at the time. Very silly post. Lack of history understanding
Uh... I don't know how to tell ya...
Ignorant.
How did they remove the fascist? It wasn't with fighting.
For the record, the end of franquism was a combination of factors, an active insurgency managing to kill his heir was a big part

Franco literally died of old age
And the country moved forward without that continuing.
I genuinely don't understand what you guys don't understand.
Good thing Franco didn't have a successor lined up. I wonder why that was...
Yeah, if by "moved forward" you mean "had a non-combative transition in which all the fascists in the state apparatus and positions of economic power remained"
