Franco: The dictator's legacy to modern Spain

[Incongruous]

Yes, overthrowing a Democracy and putting in place a Dictatorship is truly the greatest way to transition a country into Democracy.

Seriously, that point had to be a joke, right?

Yep that good old Spanish Republic before hand sure was great!

There was nothing moderate or good about the Republic by 1939, it was going to be run by commies and extremist socialists, they woulkd have turned Spain into another far left dictatorship.
So hold the pointing of fingers over who wanted to destroy freedom and democracy, unless you use both hands.
