Franco Questions

1.They agree - not a fascist, brutality. Disagree preserve change.
2.Because not enough time has passed to analyze documents and because of the time period he rule and since Spain stayed pretty neutral after WWII. And he may has ruled for 40 years but it has been the most recent 40 years.
3.I don't think it does because since there hasn't been a predominantly and named fascist state besides Italy and a little bit in Germany, people tend to misuse the word because it's been so long. People confuse fascism for other ideologies and assume that just because the connotation that the word has and the dictators involved people misuse it and compare people to the dictators that were fascist not the actual ideology of fascism.
4. - Totalitarian
- leader
- anti conservative
-Self sufficient

Franco was not a fascist because he wasn't self sufficient because he first sought out help from Hitler during the civil war and even received aid from the US. Also he wasn't the only leader of Spain, he had a political party and a heir to take over once he died. He wasn't anti Conservative though he was a totalitarian, he however was not a fascist.
