The Complete Life of Francisco Franco

Ойын-сауық

Francisco Franco was one of the only men of his kind to survive the second world war. Hitler, Mussolini, Antonescu, Tiso and even Quisling were all long buried. Only a very select few managed to survive the war. As for Francisco Franco he had obviously taken the Axis side and he assisted the Germans in essentially every way except joining the war himself. Thankfully his level headed advisors won the day and Spain didn't join the war. After the war, however, Franco was looked on with scorn. To many he had essentially got off the hook and he now became the international punching bag as Hitler had escaped Allied justice. All of Hitler's sins were transferred to Franco and a wave of propaganda and hate followed.
But who actually was Francisco Franco? How did he become the Caudillo, how come he didn't join the second world war and how did his regime manage to last so long? I'll be answering all of these questions and more, cutting through the post-war propaganda. This is the complete life of Francisco Franco.

    Franco kept the communists from seizing power Franco played the expectations of both belligerents off each other and kept Spain militarily neutral. Franco rebuilt Spain instead of taking the money and running. The only thing he did wrong was not purging the communists and diet communists (socialists) when he could've. They couldn't get him in life, so they dug him up in death.

    Last i checked the soviet union was a super power with the most extensive social welfare programs in the world during franco’s reign. Spain was a complete backwater socially and economically, and still hasn’t recovered from that handicap compared to their neighbors. Even your political ideal can only ever devolve into a sclerotic regimes run by bitter old men that collapse under their weight as soon as they die

Spain was also not "complete backwater socially and economically", yeah, a civil war just happened, no s**t the economy and infrastructure is going to take 10-20 years to fully recover from, but Spain during Franco's reign, while authoritarian, was not some feudal backwater totalitarian state as you would like to portray it. Quit being disingenuous just because you dislike Francoist Spain. Furthermore, Spain transitioned to Western democracy when Franco died, not collapse. You are a disingenuous r3tvrd and should consider not giving your input in discussions that you have absolute zero knowledge about.

    I’m excited to watch this full video!! As a 21 yr old Spaniard, Franco is taught in schools as an evil, dumb, high pitched short guy that was completely equal to AH. Not only in schools, TV shows, books, newspapers, politicians… all find in common that Franco was a bad person… Maybe it is due to the dact that they want to preserve the failed state that came after him? You only need to see any graphic about Spain pre-1975 and post 1975… Spain used to be free and used to have a strong economy…

He used to say that Franco and Salazar were the last enemies of Liberalism and Communism and that Iberia was the last stronghold of European Civilization.

    Dude, just compare the death tolls of the red and white terrors. The republicans, he's republicans since the communists did not have complete control of the reoublic and was deeply divided even during the dying days of the war, killed about 50k people. However, most of these were conducted by non-state militas in the 8 months after the civil war, when law and order collapsed in the republican territory. These deaths largely dropped off after that time. The largest state organised masscare killed around 3k fascists, who were being held prisoner in Madrid. The nationalists on the other hand, killed 400k as well as imprisoning many more. This killing spree continued for a few years after the war and Himmler even listed Seville is 1940 I think, where about 240 people were being sentenced to death every day and he was shocked by the scale of brutality. The nationalists also systematically raped and looted lands as they advanced. I'm sorry, the nationalists are not morally superior to the republicans and while I don't think Spain would have been hunky dory if the republicans one since they would have quickly have had a fascist dictator to their north as well as the existing internal decisions, Spain certainly didn't have an easy time under Franco either. I'm sorry, Franco is a terrible person.

    Franco said the future didn't worry him because after his death he would be leaving behing a strong middle class that didn't want to lose what they had in a revolution. It was true for 40-50 years, but the system really can't get any more corrupt and that middle class will be gone with the boomer generation. There is no way he could have prepared for this.

Maybe the obscurity of his origins is a sign as is typically the case with them. However, three of his main financiers, or something along those lines, were of the same stock. As for Cortes, this is the first time I've heard such allegations, what makes you say that he's one?

    Such an interesting video. Only thing is, at times I have a really hard time understand what you're saying. Maybe it's me, but I think you should articulate more clearly, and avoid being lazy with pronouncing some words (Brits have a mighty annoying habit of barely pronouncing a few words each sentence). Build in some good pauzes, speak in a clearer accent (like for ex. your 'th' and 'f' are indistinguishable). I know it's a very long tale to narrate, but divide the work in parts? This is coming from a person who normally watches videos at 2x speed or faster and understands everything.
