The commentator calling Donald Trump a dictator? We've gotta talk about Biden and his Orwellian administration.
Biden didn’t try to overthrow the country….
Well he did say it himself. He’s a wannabe and he admires Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, Putin all these strongmen etc. All the facts right in front of you and you people ignore it 😂
Lol touch grass.
Descendant of a Republic journalist and I agree, Biden and his administration are very Orwellian. You can't even speak your mind without being erased.
How did this escalate from Franco to Trump!! Paul Preston?
Pretty naive if you don't see the parallels.
Spain was economically devastated after its Civil War. It could not even feed itself. It could not equip or supply an army. There was no way it could enter WWII. The only thing it could supply to Germany was warm bodies. Even with that, Germany could not afford to equip or supply a major influx of Spanish troops. Franco wasn't brilliant, but he was practical. Even before German catastrophes, Franco could see Germany was not the wave of the future.
Maybe
I realize they didn't get their nuclear warheads to work, but they definitely had the technology to deliver one if they had
And whose fault is it that Spain was poor and couldn’t feed the people? Did Franco do without?
Franco was not the wave of the future. He didn't see annything he just lacked the means
Seriously? Comparing Donald Trump to this guy? That kinda waters down the whole story.
What Trump has to do with Franco?
what do your glass feelings have to do with reality?
Another blind/naive chumpist🤪👍
Fantastic series. It was abit weird when that Scouser called Trump a dictator though
Well, Trump is a lot like Franco, or at least he seems to aspire to be. He wouldn’t let the chance slip through his hands twice.

100% agreed, i had to double take when he said that. Come on man, you just lost all credibility
intersting that monarchs prior to socialism spread are rarely referred to as dictators...
Every single former kingdom in modern Europe- Germany, Hungary, Russia, Poland, Balkan countries, Italy, France etc… were ended because they lost a war, the winners still have their monarchs; UK, Spain, Nordic Countries, Netherlands, Belgium all have monarchs still
@@HeywhatsupmymanNorway, Belgium, and the Netherlands, all lost a war to Germany.
Absolutists kings were dictators, but they didn´t arrive to power throught a coup d'etat, but by dinastic succession.
If they are constitutional monarchs then they definitely are not dictators with a crown.
@@phbrinsden Of couse, except when the supposed constitutionslism is not a simulation, like in Spain before Franco's dictatorship.
What? I can't believe you referred to Donald Trump as a dictator. You just hurt your own credibility and the credibility of your commentary on this otherwise informative documentary.
Relax it was one historian not the narrator
Have you forgotten Warp Speed run by the military and the purges of those who refused the ‘carrot juice’??? Trump also gave Faoxi the highest federal award his last day as president. Trump’s daughter is a YGL for KS of the WEF. Trump is no different than Tru do or Ma Cron …. He is penetrated. I have to watch what I type because the V in Rome removes comments that are too truthful about the kanossers .

Still these days, modern history of Sapin can not be understood without knowing what Franco did. For the good or for the bad he maybe has been the most influential person in the history of the country. Around him, after his death, there is been terrorism, catholic church, monarchy and political parties that still want to divide the country. Unfortunantelly he is still alive. (Note: excuse my english. I tried my best).
The picture of the young Prince Juan Carlos, appointed by Franco to soon succeed him as restored King of Spain, standing next to his mentor on a balcony before thousands giving them the Fascist salute, is quite startling.😮
Fascism is repulsive and depraved.
Because of Franco my family left Spain. They spoke about the hunger they suffered until the day they died.
Your family were perhaps communists. If so, Spain was safer without communists.

@@karlheven8328 You are as useless as Franco if you don't know what he and his minions who think like you did to the Spanish people....Good Day ...
Paul Preston's idiotic comment about Trump took away a lot of credibility from this video. The guy being so clueless, how can he write a biography on a complex and controversial figure like Franco?
Bet he can't define what a dictator is just like how he wouldn't know what a woman is.
The comment about Trump was very appropriate, and if you can't see the why, even after Trump has confirmed his character both by actions and verbally, then you need to reassess your ability to identify villains and heroes.
@@maree82carm44 LOL
What was the idiotic part that he said Trumps not normal or Trump is a dictator. Please tell me u at least agree with the former
Trump has all the elements necessary to qualify as a dictator, if he gets in again that’s exactly the path he will follow.
Great video please do a profile piece on the communist dictator of Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu
Yes, that's a good topic. ☝🏼
They won't do it....they never present the left in a bad light
Amazing how much I wasn't taught about history in school.
There's too much history to teach kids everything
and how much crap is in this clip
@@getagrip_1yea but kids are told lies anyway
Or how to become a girl of your a boy or visa versa
@rabbitholesinc I was taught in a California Central Valley company town educational system specifically who was smarter, better informed, and culturally "better than I," even though I saw thru that BS, as for you #getagrip You sound as though you slept thru school. Your take on education is stilted and wanting. Kids are brighter than you'd know, and they can grasp a hell of a lot. I was parented by an intelligent, more Indian than not grandmotherer, in a quite well considered economical manner, and not a constant rattle in my ear about what I could very well learn on my own. US upbringing means selecting, chewing and force feeding parental misinfo, social disinfo, bias, neurosis, self aggrandizing cultural lies, and general bs at children and then later having to wonder "what we did wrong to deserve such a child." Your society is very very sick.🍷🥱🐈⬛
@@Hadrada. Ya, you're a real bright one, hey? It's know wonder, you and your fellow cultists believing in your "messiah"🤪👍
He was no saint but he fought Stalinism and won !
It´s funny to find indoctrinated people this days. Very few of the respublicans were communists. Mostly they were radical liberals.
Stalinism is one thing but he more or less used Stalinist tactics and claimed Jesus was okay with it, he wasn’t. War is one thing. Wholesale murder is another
No saint? I guess whatever it takes no matter the cost
@@mnlw1363 I guess ends do justify means. Even those traditionalist Catholic priests who say ends don’t justify means must be wrong lol
At the cost of half a million people.....I guess not as bad as Chump who's responsible for over a million.
Lmao yes cause Trump and Franco were the same 😂 Trump maybe a jerk but big difference. Wow!
FFS, Trump is a dictator? How about getting some experts who actually understand the words they're using?
how about you stop crying and accept some facts
@@teotronia Facts, huh? Why don't you enlighten us on these so called "facts" that prove he's a dictator?
@@teotroniaimpossible. He has to get pass congress.
@@teotronia Typical socialists. Anytime anyone doesn't agree with you they're a "dictator, racist, fascist". Come up with something original my guy.
How is Donald Trump a dictator? I've given this documentary a couple of episodes but it's very poorly done 6:11
Yes, the Scouse Commie's bias was very telling, makes you wonder about the rest of it. Academia has fallen a long way, as demonstrated by this so called 'historian'.
why are there so many butthurt lil babies watching this
What was the capitol insurrection then? Trump certainly tried to become a dictator! We all know he admires dictators. The Spanish have a word for that - autogolpe. Now, like everything Trump has ever done, it had an element of the farcical & the slapdash, but in the end it was exactly what it appeared to be - an attempt to overturn his election loss by force
Not a stretch at all IMO. All you have to do is compare his rhetoric to that of other dictators past and present to realize that indeed we in America could easily go down the path of Franco and civil war.
Thumbnail looks like walt Disney.
I immediately thought that too.
U took my idea 😅
So will there be parts 3, 4, and 5 to cover the rest of his years?

Franco after World War 2 - Spain's Forgotten Dictatorship Ep 3
That appears to be the only remaining episode on UA-cam. The channel page has only these three episodes. But I suppose after WWII there was not much to report, Franco stayed in power for 30 more years till his death, having set it up to restore a monarchy.
Donald Trump a dictator?? Definitely not normal but that’s a stretch
What a stupid statement. That clown is a pure political shill.
People are do not know what a dictator is today, outside of Russia or China
Joe Biden is closer to being that
Look 👀 at this video. It’s trump and #Project2025 . He’s your Messiah now. Orange Jesus. 😢
He admitted it.
Spain was threatened with biological warfare if they entered WWII. This was revealed in 1959 by Ralph Ingersoll, a noted industrialist. We were going to stimulate the fruit fly population to hatch early and destroy their agriculture. True story told in Ingersoll, later the head of Ingersoll-Rand, in his 1959 book on unconventional warfare. He also tells the story of multiple "bat bombs" we fortunately did not develop very far.
Spain ruled the waves in the century before 1898? Errr.....
Yes, that confused me too.
Never heard of the Spanish colonies or even Chris Columbus?😂😂😂😂
@fuzzy6006
"in the century before 1898".
In which part of the 19th century did Christopher Colimbus live? BTW he wasn't Spanish.
@@paulkirkewalker1974 😂😂😂 ya, cuz Christopher Columbus is a very spanish name🤪 It's so obviously not, and not even relevant, the flag he sailed under is.ä, however. And if you want to get technical, there was no mention that they "ruled the waves". Again, the point was that Spain was a dominant naval force until 1898 when its fleet was decimated.
I enjoyed this series. Wonder why you didn't mention that the Soviet Union supplied weapons, money and combatants to the other side. Yes they didn't amount to the same thing as the Nazis. Just wondering what the motivation was in omitting this historical perspective. I also thought it weird that Trump was called a dictator.
I don’t have any doubts that Franco was a butcher, but in the end, his crooked personality helped Spain to survive, unscathed from the second world war. Personally, I don’t see him as a “forgotten dictator”. My grandparents left Spain just before the Civil War and his acts and decisions have always been present in the conversations we had in my family during my childhood.
*My HS Biology teacher (California) talked about him frequently, not a fan*
This hero prevented the socialists and communists taking over Spain and thus preventing them destroying its history, culture and riches.
Exactly. The " Lincoln Brigade' were all American Communists
Hero of what ?
@@neigedetroie4547of Spain
Watch the film. Look at every article, UA-cam video, etc and you’ll understand hopefully 🙏🏼. It’s just so obvious.
Unfortunately, Europe is basically communist under the EU.....so it was all a futile effort
Better than a communist hell hole.
How?
Stop having biographers on your videos who bring in their current stupid ideas.
dude compared trump to a dictator 😂😂😂😂 bro is mad cause trump isnt a puss
I remember being briefed regarding "Franco's Gestapo" in the military when we deployed to Spain from Germany, 1978 & 1979. This, even though King Juan Carlos, was ruler during the times of our deployments.
He looked like Walt Disney.
Lol, I can't unsee that now 😅
Some believe Walt Disney was actually born in Mojacar, sothern Spain, to Isabel Zamora. She had a brother in Chicago, where Disney was registered and later adopted by the Disneys, close neighbours.
This is so biased. Franco's conception of leadership wasn't fascist, it was monarchist. He ruled Spain as a regent.
Obviously a medieval king then. 🙄
😳☠️
Good series, but looses some credibility with the Trump comment.
6:12 reported for slander
so many of you little babies here and I'm talking about this country
4 minutes in, and I can already tell that this is poorly translated. Around 4:19, he actually said, “In the Spain we will form, there will be no home without light, nor a family without bread.”
50% true 50% bull💩 💯% ….. I know it ,not because I’m Spanish, I’m just an old Portuguese and Iberian after all 🇵🇹💚🇪🇸
The videos have been very interesting and factual but the gratuitous 'shot' , by Paul Preston about Trump, as a dictator (at 6:10) was odd.
That’s what commies do. Lie and lie.
Yeah. I commented on that as well. Ridiculous comment. Trump a dictator is another liberal lie. Franco was not a good guy and Fascism was a reaction to Stalinism but equally as bad with no freedoms or democracy. It was a bad time to live in Europe.
eh, he has an opinion. He's British, they have different ideas.
Very unprofessional comment from a so called 'historian'.
Trump comment was stupid
it's like trump is your boyfriend you get all worked up defending a failure fake president who gets paid by china and who killed more americans than every war we've ever fought combined oh but booohooooo the historian said a factual thing better cry all day
Based franco
He looks similar to Walt Disney!
Yeah, I noticed. When he was younger and not so fat.
He looks like Walt Disney lol
More like a munchkin and the voice to match to match the look.
That scouser is too annoying.
I was enjoying your videos until today. Why you included the Brit who compared Trump to Franco and other evil leaders is beyond me. I had just hit the “subscribe” button but now I’ll unsubscribe and hit not reccomend. I listen to your videos for historical context not political views from someone who isn’t even an American.
Good bye 👋
Can’t even get a historical perspective without someone being emotionally fragile about Trump. Get over yourself
Well, I just subscribed to the UA-cam channel and so did my husband. Fragile ego much? It’s well done and I’m sure glad I found this. Have you seen anything about #Project2025 ? They are very similar.
You are totally right. Equalling Trump with dictators in the thirties by that wannabe 'historian' was laughable. But just ignore it. It only disqualified everything he said after.
It is also very petty it was included in the video. It kinda destroys its whole credibility.
Franco was way more competent than Trump
Walt Disney looked like Franco not Der Fuhrer
Well presented
My my this guy had blood on his hands.
Our top story tonight. Generissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
Great continuing gag on Saturday Night Live Weekend Update by Chevy chase. We're showing our age brother LOL
4:51 - Anyone know where these ruins are located?
Old town of Belchite, in the municipality of Campo de Belcite in Zaragoza, Aragon. It is named in Part 3 of this series.
Republican forces fought FRANCO’s rebel forces in the battle of Belchite in 1937. After 1939, a new town was built near the ruins, which remain as a ghost town as a memorial to the war.
This video is very biased
What did this guy say about Trump and why did he have to infuse Trumps name into this?
Are they saying...that they didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition?
'Spain's Forgotten Dictatorship'!!!!!! An absurd title considering that era in Spain's history is still in living memory of 1000's of older Spaniards.
Franco knew how to handle his wokesters...we have much to learn from him.
Stalin knew how to handle his fashies…we have much to learn from him.
@@akeffo Awwww does ur wittle woke hole hurt??

I’d judge him based on how his people feel about him.
Which people? The ones he killed or the ones he didn't?
@@SaintlyAussie Right?
I used to hear about how bad Strosner was in Paraguay. Dictator this, dictator that! Then one night in the middle of a blizzard, I was stranded in a hotel unable to go anywhere else. I met a nice couple from Paraguay and the topic came up. I realized how throwing the word "dictator" around, whether true or not, puts in our feeble minds that it's all bad, 100%.
The couple said to me that evening that during his reign, they were safe and never had to fear criminals.
Really put things into perspective for me.
I think he was very based. These videos are incredibly biased
@@SaintlyAussieCommunists aren’t people

Thanks for making this. Very interesting and informative. Scary 😨. #Project2025 😣
Ya. It's ringing some very familiar bells, isn't it?
This video was full of lies and baseless accusations. Don't trust this rubbish. It's extremely biased against nationalists (Franco) and pro communists.
“ Hit piece” on Franco . Not objective at all !!!
Franco had an effeminate voce.
I live next to an old woman who left Spain to come to the United States in 1987. She was a professor of literature and remembered Franco fondly, saying many people looked back and said they were better off under his leadership.
Ces Espagnols ont trop souffert des idées républicaines alors qu'ils se sont sopontanément soulevés contre les armées de Bonaparte qui évaient envahi leur royaume à une autre époque .
How come you never hear from the Left....Mao, Khemer Rouge ect....
The Left is sneaky. They try not to talk about what they do.
Well, here in UA-cam I find a lot interesting stuff.
Peace! from Dresden / Germany
Viva Franco!
Love the JFK-music.
And so now that Franco is gone, Spain is perfecto 😂 ha ha
It is certainly a better, freer, happier, more just, more prosperous & less isolated country today than under Franco.
Franco could smell a worse rat and was one of the most intelligent dictators in recent history.
Behind every dictator is a woman. Ava, Carman, Rachele, Barbara, Hillary, Laura, Michelle, and Jill.

So Franco means by spaniards only the ones who think like he does? How is that Nazism? It is the very definition of communism; clash of the classes, etc.
Nazis believe in cooperation among the classes, not a struggle.
No, it is the definition of Totalitarianism, on either side of the political spectrum.
It's a lot like how Chump wants to rule.
Nazism NEVER spoke about class struggle, but on the contrary they spoke about class colaboration. Just as Franco did.
@@kiwitrainguy how is it too hard for you to understand that totalitarianism has different forms and you can not entitle one form of it with the complete opposite characteristic other one?
The Trump comment is ridiculous for a historian to make on a program like this.
I am enjoying your videos .and what the englishman said about trump was true.thank you for telling things like they are. I knew franco was bad,but i had no idea how bad.very enlightening.
What he said about Trump was not true or appropriate actually. TDS.

It is curious that Western nations keep bleating about democracy to those of us in the so-called Third World. Even they are only now just figuring this peoples' power thing out.
The “Historian” disparaged Jurgen Klopp one of the best modern football coaches and Donald Trump, definitely not a dictator. Where do they get these guys?
Well, perhaps because Donald wants to become a dictator - at least for his first day in office?
This is the worst historical documentary I have watched in along while.
Preston is delusional.
Re 45:30, if you study Ronald Rogowskiʼs 1989 book "Commerce and Coalitions" you might discover that Francoʼs idea is potentially less absurd than presented here. Rogowski demonstrated that both American capitalists and European workers gained from trade and thus possessed a cested interest in an economic globalisation that threatened to (and after World War II and especially the 1973 oil crisis, did) eliminate the influence of the ecclesiastical and landowning powers who formerly ruled Europe and whose support drove Franco to power. Rogowski is in fact not emphatic enough about how whole groups - the Catholic Church in Europe, blacks in the United States - lose from expanding trade.
Franco's dictatorship was quasi-totalitarian. The Falange had its own ideology. He shared with the Fascists and Communists the objectives of eliminating anti-social and ideologically subversive elements, an excellent objective, and _autarchy,_ or national economic self-sufficiency, a worthy goal but impracticable in the long term and impractical in the short to medium term. Still, Franco and the Falange had the right idea.
Legend
41.03; the Catalan Jordi Riera says in Catalan that the teacher (mestre) "Aquí se hablan cristiano" which means "here one speaks Christian". The translator says "here we speak Spanish". The tying together of Spanish and Christianity, versus Catalan, and, logically, not-Christianity, is important in understanding Franco's dislike of inferiors. Although, it should be noted the child of El Ferrol did not have antipathy to Gallego...
