Tuhia he whakamāramatanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I ārahi a Franco i ngā mahi hōia mai i tēnei wā tae noa ki te mutunga o te pakanga. Ehara a Franco i te tohunga rautaki engari he tino whai hua ia ki te whakahaere, ki te whakahaere, ki te raupaparorohiko me te tautohe. I muri i te whakaekenga kore o Madrid
I te marama o Whiringa-a-rangi 1936, ka whakatauhia e Franco he huarahi taahiraa ki te wikitoria i te pakanga, kaua ki nga mahi maia. Ka rite ki tana whakatau ki te whakaora i te kaitiaki i Toledo, ko tenei huarahi te kaupapa o etahi tautohetohe: ko etahi o ana whakataunga, penei i te Pipiri 1938 i pai ai ia ki te haere ki Valencia kaua ki Catalonia, he tino tautohetohe mai i te tirohanga hoia. I kite a Valencia, Castellon me Alicante i nga hoia Republican whakamutunga i hinga e Franco.
