In terms of prosperity for Spain, was Franco winning the Spanish

A good thing. Imagine if the stalinists and crypto-stalinists (CNT and such) had won.

Basically, to put it into perspective...
If any of the fascism's within Europe did not come to power, the socialists and Leninist's would've won power. So, in the long run, the fascist nations that emerged within Europe between 1922 to 1945-ish, salvaged Europe from immediate communist takeovers. Doesn't mean they are safe, nowadays.

If the leftists had taken over in Spain they probably would have destroyed all of Spanish history and the churches etc. like Mao's Red Guards. Also it would already be majority muslim today.

Spain was an economic basket case until it abandoned Francoist autarky at the end of the 1950s with the help of the IMF and the 'Spanish Miracle'
Over the next few years, until his nothingness popped his clogs ,with the adoption of the free market model and prawing on the IMF and other credits it went through the its largest ever period of industiralization and propserity

Franco's Spain should take help from Argentina because they were starving. You tell me.
