Franco named himself Head of State and abolished rival political parties (the Carlists and the Falange).
 
Hitler sent 20 transport planes to get Franco's forces from Morocco to Spain and then sent 600 bombers (the Condor Legion) to bomb Guernica.
 
The Nationalists controlled the main agricultural areas of the south from the outset, so Franco's troops were better fed than the Republicans.
 
The Republican parties were so divided that they started fighting each other in the Barcelona Uprising of 1937.
 
Franco named himself Generalissimo and brought the private armies of the right-wing parties (e.g. the Carlists and the Falange) under his personal control.
 
The Republic relied upon International Brigades from the West and 500 military advisors from the USSR, but they distrusted each other.
 
Production fell, food prices trebled and rationing was introduced as a cause of indeciveness regarding the matter of the farms.
 
Nazi Germany obtained 75% of Spain’s mining shares under the 1938 Montana Project in return for urgent military assistance.
 
Germany helped Franco to present himself as the defender of Spain against communism.
