Rise of Nazi Germany
While many states refused to become involved in the Spanish Civil
War, notably Britain and France, troops were sent by both Hitler
and Mussolini to aid the Spanish Nationalists, which included those
with fascist leanings. It would prove to be a precursor to many of
the tactics and methods employed in the Second World War, such as
the Bombing of Guernica, which aimed to see how effective bombing
of civilian areas could be. Spain was non-belligerent during World
War II—although Spanish volunteers fought in Russia—but the civil
war division of fascism versus democracy and communism was
repeated.
