The book presents various investigation into 20th century European
dictatorships, with its focus on Franco`s dictatorship and the
Spanish Civil War. Francisco Franco’s dictatorship in Spain
(1936/39-1975/78) was a modern form of authoritarianism, with a
strong totalitarian period, like many other dictatorships of the
time. Francoism occupies a place in history alongside other
different dictatorships of its age, and a comparative analysis
might prove to be a powerful tool in order to understand how, in
the middle of the 20th century, such a repressive and authoritarian
form of political control emerged. One of the most forgotten
fascisms, which at the same time was influenced by and influenced
other dictatorships, there are many aspects of the transnational
connections of Francoism that remain under-researched. Following
this methodology, Thus, an attempt is made to situate Francoism in
the context of the other dictatorships of the time, in an attempt
to transcend explanations centered on the nation. The chapters
cover groundbreaking topics such as the Spanish civil war as one of
the first total wars or Spanish fascism in context as one of the
main European totalitarianisms. The chapters always have more than
one dimension: they speak of interrelation, entanglement,
collaboration, diffusion, in general, put the different
dictatorships (essentially: Francoism, diverse Fascisms and
Communism) in context and comparison.
