Life was pretty normal. There wasnt a Gestapo similar police nor did the people suffer very much.
But Spain was lacking Innovation and technology. Many inventions like the TV or fridges couldnt be afford

Franco is very complicated. He wasnt as bad as Hitler or Stalin but He also wasnt an Angel

>>Republik gets BTFO
lol no. Franco was isolated North of Africa and the coup was actually failing. Italy with their armada literally saved the day, and Germany tested their new weapons on the Spaniards.
>G-grolious victory.
Eh, it was 5/10

more like /his/
The civil war looked dire for the nationals when it started, with their best troops idle at the North of Africa and big cities like Madrid and Barcelona still Republican. Franco's request for help to Italy and Germany was decisive, as a big chunk of the Spanish fleet was still blockading them. Also commies are stupid and tried to take over and remove anarchists WHILE STILL FIGHTING THE CIVIL WAR.

You can start at "Short Introduction to the Spanish Civil War," which is well cited and has an interesting academic focus on the civil war as the clash between "New Spain" of the cities, artists, and elites, and "Old Spain" of the Church, army/officer corps, and rural estates.

/his/ poster is right, the aid of the Italian/Nazi forces brought the coup onto the peninsula, in some cases over the heads of the Spanish Navy in the first mass military airlift in history. Without that, the Coup would have been isolated in Africa and unable to make any play at the government.
