He was and is a hero. The Reds in Spain were committing violent, murderous acts daily in the Republic and the government was turning a blind eye to it all.
Same with pinochet in chile and medici here in brazil.. in a minor scale.. these military leaders had to do some fukd up things to navigate thru The 20th century IF you think about it they all gave up poweer without chaos.. inhave never seen a Red do that... not one
Do you even know what the Spanish Civil War was about and how it was started. The Nationalists violated children to death and executed them and the Church not only turned a blind eye but participated.
500,000 Spaniards fled the country because of him and tens of thousands ended up being murdered by Nazis. What a hero...
Nationalists and Priests carried out mass executions on hundreds at a time including on their Saint's Day in a bullring and other places like it was a sporting event and a celebration.. Not to mention Franco did aid the Nazis during WWII by giving them supplies, aid, manpower and allowing to own banks in Spain. He allowed the Nazis to spy on the Allies in Gibraltor and use their submarines there. He allowed Nazis to flee to Latin America via Spain.. Franco gave a list of all Jews in Spain and political opponents to Himler.. The Republic tried to stop Hitler and Franco even after the Civil War ended.
just cause one side is bad doesn’t make the other side heroes 🤦♀️ everything isn’t a hollywood movie
Historical inaccuracy. The grain and food that bailed Spain after its civil war primarily came from Argentina, not the USA. I am not standing up for the failed governance philosophy of Argentina which I detest, but facts are facts.
Interesting documentary, but there were a few glaring omissions. The Spanish Civil War started because of Stalin's Marxist agents in Spain carrying out brutal and bloody attacks on Catholic clergy and religious, as well as anyone who was opposed to Marxism, all over Spain. Read Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls to get some details. Franco wasn't Mother Teresa or Mahatma Gandhi, but he wasn't (as this documentary seems to make him out) another Hitler. Also in describing his meeting with Hitler in Hendaye, while this documentary accurately describes Hitler's frustration with Franco, it fails to mention what was arguably Hitler's main cause of frustration: Franco refused to deport Spain's Jews into Nazi-held territory. Historians have a lot of facts, but they have their own biases. While I would not try to discourage anyone from watching this documentary, I would encourage them to do so with a certain degree of critical thinking, and examination of other historical sources.
A few glaring omissions? Let's get factual. We'd all be better off if they broadcast the facts instead of promoting a leftist agenda
This is an excellent comment. Thank you for taking the time to write it down. When I moved to Franco's Spain as a young student of classical guitar, I was surprised about the support almost all of the other music students had for Franco.
I had been brought up in a very liberal family (US). But after living in Spain, I began to have a much more balanced view of Franco, his predicament and intentions.
Imagine, "For Whom the Bells Toll" used to be compulsory reading material in high school back in the day! But look at the US education system now and how it has deteriorated over the decades.
Franco wasn't as tyrannical as people like to think, kind of like how Gandhi wasn't as amazing and peaceful as people make him out to be
Suner, Franco's wife's brother in law, much criticized in this documentary, was (according to Hitler himself) the one who convinced Franco not to join the Axis like Mussolini. Hitler was enraged at suffering the (rare) experience of being unable to browbeat a possible ally into joining him, referring to Suner as 'that damned jesuit'.
It started because the Catholic Church wanted to rule the people like it was the dark ages after it has been established there will be a separation of church and state. And not to mention all the violations on innocent children they did. The official reason the war started was because the Francoists could not accept they lost and overthrew a legal government voted in by the common people. Only the elites had a voice in their opinion.
Winston Churchill absolutely didn't mind neither Franco ruling in Spain, nor Mussolini in Italy. Their fascism didn't bother him at all, just as long as they didn't threaten his beloved British Empire, and strangled any socialist movements.
Churchill didn't believe poor people should make decisions and needed to be ruled by the elite. Just like Franco.
There is a fair amount of nonsense in this video. The brother in law was not employed because of the wife’s intercession, and he served well. It was a miracle that he survived captivity by the republican forces (his brother did not). Like many others, he was let go by Franco when he was no longer useful, and he gave fascinating interviews thirty years later.
Well said. It's just not credible that Carmen Pola would have influenced any of Franco's political or military choices - or that she would tell him at a gathering, "Shut up Paco."
yeah, this is not true to the written facts.
@@simonstergaard Who wrote the facts?
@@harrr53 Maybe Marxist Juden ?
Extremely one sided account of events.
Only cryptofascists want to mire truth with the false equivalence of untruth. Don't let the door of history slam shut on your mind; don't leave it open to hearing "the other side." Franco was a brutal, illegitimate dictator. There's no other side to hear, brother.
Very one sided perspective on start of conflict
It was a military coup against an elected goverment. How much more onesided does it get?
The series is really about the dicatorship AFTER the civil war. Not the civil war or how it started.
Yes, no context, who were the other side, it was a war between communist / Marxists and National socialists (falange). But clearly this documentary is not objective and quite biased, starting by saying that national socialism is a far-right ideology when is the opposite. Both are terrible collectivist ideologies
@@PMMagro I respectfully disagree. It was a leftist dictatorship against a dictator on the right and this documentary series is really about spreading the LEFTIST agenda
No joke! Neoliberalism mixed insidiously with academia at its finest. The so-called biographer of Franco, Paul Preston, is really the worst part of this documentary. Where did they find this guy?
The documentary should be titled, "Some Truth About Franco".
Accurately one-sided.
Who has forgotten Franco? A morose bitterness and hatred festers underground like the radioactive, buried Chernobyl nuclear reactor. This is directed not just at Franco, but at his conservative admirers and supporters like the William F. Buckleys and the Catholic Churches of the world, and their own entourages of admirers, flatterers and supporters, in turn. Is this descriptive enough to be understood?
How is his dictatorship forgotten? He ruled Spain for over 30 years.....?
Much like Mao and Stalin.
from 1939 until 1975 for be correct,
Be aware that this documentary is from a British point of view.
A British Leftist point of view.
What's it like being butt hurt about that?
He saved Spain from Stalinist Communism. That alone makes him a hero.
You understand history.
Spain was a republic at that time. He didn't save Spain from anything. He caused half a million needless deaths in the name of a hypothetical. Preemptive war, insurrectionist war is never justified. If he's a hero to you, you're a very dark individual and need to get that checked with some soul searching.
@@subcitizen2012 "Preemptive war, insurrectionist war is never justified."
This shows me that you do not live on Planet Earth. I would rather be "a dark individual" than a pseudo-angelic fool.
@@subcitizen2012 You don't understand history or you are a liar. My bet is on the latter.
@@subcitizen2012a Republic that raped and murdered nuns and was backed by Marxists.
One sided history doc.
Proud Grandson of a Abraham Lincoln Brigade Veteran. No pasarán!
Thank your grandfather for his service and helping in the fight for democracy and human rights for everyone.
Given the debacle of Franco’s one meeting with Hitler, one could say that, unlike his brother Mussolini, he did not get his trains running on time! Lol
@@pbohearn Franco allowed the axis to spy on the allies, supply them and drown axis ships on Gibraltar during WW2
maybe because of my heritage, but with the actions of various foreign legions on the eastern front and their roles.... plus the civil war, plus Picasso with a rebellion against it in his paintings, the regime represented by Franco is not understood, but is not really forgotten...
who is nearly toatally forgotten is the dictator of Portugal
Salazar!
As long as the Spanish people remember, that’s what matters. Maybe that’s why Spain bucked the authoritarian trend in Europe by electing a social democratic government in 2023.
The most wonderful documentary coverage video about Francois Spain states ... thanks( Get factual )channel for sharing
Now why dont you tell the viewers about what caused the rise of Franco. Let me enlighten. You had 'Republicans' who were Stalinists, anarchists, and various nationalists all fighting each other which had turned Spain into a mad house where tens of thousands of people were being slaughtered. In came Gen Franco who really did not have much choice but to take on this lot who had turned Spain into warring areas and factions. Even Madrid was divided by these warring groups. He took them all on and restored order. He did turn to the Nazis for military help simply because nobody else would help. He diplomatically tricked Hitler as he agreed to invade Gibraltar and hand over the Jews to Hitler in exchange for this help. He of course did neither. Now why dont you tell why the Cathoolic church had no choice but to support him? Here again let me enlighten. the 'Republicans' had a policy of killing all priests,nuns and any other religious they found and tens of thousands were killed in very nasty ways. Fraco had many faults but he saved Spain from something that was far worse then his rule.
The Republic, who were mainly democratic socialists, could see fascism rising in Europe with Franco, Hitler and Mussolini and they were RIGHT.. Those three were the inspiration for Orwell's "1984."
Still not a reason to start an illegal insurrection and dictatorship. You can get that fact strait. The masses were tired of the old order ruling elites and the complicity of the church, and that's how they voted. If elites and church don't want to be murdered, they should govern and rule justly. History is real easy. Figure it out.
Spain combined with Italy’s navy could have kept the allies out of the Mediterranean, making the theatre of war much more manageable for Germany.
No. Both navies were rather incompetent and didn't have the stomach for a fight. Educate yourself on the battles in the med between the royal navy and italian navy, the royal navies under-equipped Mediterranean fleet consistently embarrassed the Italians. Had spain entered the war then Britain would have taken more ships from the home fleet and pacific fleets to deal with them. The royal navy was simply too big, twice the size of the next largest at the start of the war.
@@Gecko....The Spanish and Italian navies could have attempted such a mission, but they would have failed. Plus, Franco had no interest in coming up against the British naval fleet, and losing the Canary and Balearic Islands. Not only that, he did not want German troops to occupy Spanish territory or take over Gibraltar.
Spain could have been invaded from the Atlantic Sea however quite easily by the Allies. After the civil war it was a scenario that could have happened so Franco realized that if Spain wanted to survive the war they’d need to stay out. He wasn’t trying ti betray the Axis but he was trying to insure Spain didn’t collapse
I highly doubt it. The Spanish navy at the time was tiny and the Italian Navy, Reggia Marina, was no match for the UK Royal Navy. The concept of air defense was foreign to the Italians making them sitting ducks for outdated British torpedo bombers as bad as they were.
Control the Strait of Gibralter is what I was getting at., you cannot control the Med if you have no ships in it, dont act like the Germans wouldnt have stepped in and put a Naval Plan together, attrition NOT SKILl win the war----the allies sided with Jewish communists and now all allied nations have National Syphilis...
Didn't Carmen Polo preach the simple life? Then went to high end jewelers in Madrid and leave without paying?
A lot of inaccuracies in this doc

I speak Spanish and this documentary is full of bias and fake information
Don't forget the Italians supplied 5 divisions of the CTV. Franco owed both Hitler and Mussolini.
Given the debacle of Franco’s one meeting with Hitler, one could say that, unlike his brother Mussolini, he did not get his trains running on time! Lol
I mean, they're not around to enjoy them, unfortunately, on account, of all the state sanctioned "murderings"
If you were fighting an enemy and you were given a choice between having at your side Hitler or Franco, who would you choose?
Who needs enemies when these are your friends?
Hard to say. Ideology aside, Franco had more experience as a strategist whereas Hitler often argued with generals. Maybe Franco is more logical.
@@aberrationcreation Franco would abandon you at the first sign of difficulty.
VERY BEAUTIFUL .. CHARMING DOCUMENTARY .. THANK YOU
Ohhhkaaaay
13:38 and HALF of France - the other half was directed by French fascist Philippe Pétain.
I have visited the mausoleum.
It’s impressive but in no way beautiful- except for the view from the esplanade.outward.
Roses were laid down on his grave inside the enormous underground Basilica- this still goes on…
Will the other 3 episodes be uploaded? Thanks
I would not bother watching if they were.
We salute our brave nationalist comrade, General Franco!!
Careful comrade. They are watching you.

People ae saying this is one sided but knew people in my childhood family members that supported franco and now i just see them as monsters. The Catholic Church has a lot to answer for
A very informative video! Thanks for posting.
The p on "coup" is silent. Not just strangled. Silent.
Right now Venezuela needs a General Franco to save it from total ruin before it turns into Cuba,
Franco was undoubtedly a dictator.
It wasn't a requirement that he was particularly bright. He was a soldier - that was enough!
He was however, possessed of a 'tunnel vision'; the ideological driving force of which was authortarian anti-communism.
He simply took from Italian Fascism, German Nazism, American 'democracy' whatever he believed propped up his regime.
He resisted Germany's Nazi regime entreatment to officially join World War 2 on their side.(Except for the 'Blue Division' of anti-communists).
He claimed Spain was exhausted after the brutal civil war and paying back principally Germany for military aid (the air force 'Condor Legion') without which Franco would never have won the civil war conflict.
He had a lot of Spanish politicsl blood on his hands. However, his authortarian regime survived and changed, enough to see an economic rise in stature and birth of a middle class.
Franco said that their emergence was his real legacy, not the carved out mausoleum and huge cross in 'The Valley of The Fallen'.
There was always a middle class in Spain, including the journalist in my avatar who moved up to wealth at times before Franco took it away. He stole people's hard work especially in Catalonia... Franco created a starving class that wasn't seen since medievall times.
Poorly produced at best. Did a teenager direct this?
Not quite the Truth
This was nothing more than a leftist (closet communists) perspective
And you are no expert nor historian. The people interviewed for this well-done documentary are.
So true. They are so blatantly one-sided -- especially Preston -- that it is scary. No wonder people in America and Europe are brainwashed.
More of an “expert” than you!🤣
@@jamescollier847 Yeah, that's why you are brainwashed. 😂
The documentary is, in fact, a neoliberal take on this episode of Spanish history. Such a mindset is exactly how I was brought up. Fortunately, Ernest Hemingway's, "For Whom the Bells Toll, use to be mandatory reading in high school.
Despite having fought in the 15th Brigade himself, as a medic, Hemingway gives a more balanced view of the deeper elements of that Revolution.
One more thing. I lived in Franco's Spain as a music student. And I can tell you for sure that these woke academics have no personal experience of what it was like to be there.
Poor production. Absurd absence of balance, nuance. We really need a new generation of “historians.” Time for the old simps for marxism to retire.
There's no such thing as balance. Truth requires bias. These are not Marxists, these are academics. You deny truth at your peril and the peril of others. Your fascism simping was retired decades ago. Sort yourself out.
Long live Franco.
He died almost 50 years ago, brother.
I've met some veterans from the Spanish Civil War, and also read some letters from veterans to newspapers in Sweden..
They were Swedish veterans?
@@Hartley_Hare Yes, they were Swedish veterans.
A great man the Caudillo
You need to get your head checked.
The Valley of the Fallen is a monument to ALL the dead, and it isn't a personal monument to Franco. It has a cross on top, not a statue of Franco. He, in fact, did not want to be buried there.
Forgotten by whom? Hahahaha
The whole presentation is a joke. Cheap propaganda that does not make even an
attempt to be impartial. Waste of time to watch it.
Why this murderer dod not have a trial??
Why didn't Stalin and Mao have a trial ?
sorry for no communist or nazi.
FC BARCELONA TEAM OF FRANCO
Barcelona was republic territory and still is. Obviously you are not familiar with their referendums and how they want independence and autonomy.
Fake doc.

Some truth is realy garbage
ARIBA FRANCO

Lo siento.

Not Pardo. Prado.
Wrong. The _Palacio del Pardo_ was the official residence of the Caudillo. The _Palacio del Prado_ is Spain’s national art gallery.
👎
Franco was a pathetic and cruel dictator for a mediocre siesta and bulls country. Spaniards do not even talk about it, and half of their country still misses him despite their misery.
Spain 🇪🇸 empires military efforts, especially ( navigation forces) embedded, processed, highly atrocities around the world 🌎 during imperialistictime to( South American & African contents) and defeated confront British empire & USA 🇺🇸 navigation forces behind highly seas 🌊. it was directed inherited imperialistic atrocities against its own population through Spanish Civil War occasions
The Roman salute is common in Spanish culture as Hispaniola was a Roman State.
The Roman salute is a myth and never existed. The nationalists did that in honor and allegiance to their allies Hitler and the Mussolini.
7:25 Nope, The Spanish Inquisition: A Historical Revision by Henry Kamen, conformist historians in the modern ZIO-banksters narrative you guys didn't study ....
Forgotten??? no way, he caused too much pain to Spain
I think they meant that he was largely forgotten by students of international history. Of course the Spanish people wouldn’t forget someone like him.
I see what you did there…
