	Historical Figures - General Francisco Franco
		Spain was bitterly divided and economically ruined as a result of the civil war and Franco's government actively promoted this division between "victors" and "vanquished" while its incompetence did little to improve the economic situation.
		With the end of World War II, Franco and Spain were forced to suffer the economic consequences of the isolation imposed on it by nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States.
		He wore the uniform of a captain general (a rank traditionally reserved for the King), resided in the Pardo Palace, appropriated the kingly privilege of walking beneath a canopy, and his portrait appeared on most Spanish coins.

	Francisco Franco : Franco
		He was made general in 1926, and from 1933 onwards he was Commander of the Spanish Army.
		Interestingly, though the head of a republican government, Franco never assumed the title of "President." He was referred to only as the "Generalissimo" or the "Head of State." This move, along with his panache for "royal" uniforms, allowed him to court Spain's large pro-monarchy demographic.
		This was a surprise for the Carlist[?] pretender to the throne.

		The right-hand (or western) army, which was commanded by General Jose Moscardo, had little trouble in forcing the opposing Republican troops back, but the left-hand (or eastern) army, which was composed of Italian “volunteers” and led by General Mario Roatta, experienced stiffening resistance after their capture of Brihuega on 10th March.
		General Roatta halted his advance on 15th March to re-group and the Republicans used this break in the battle to mount a counter-attack.

		General Francisco Franco's Spanish dictatorship stole children from the families of his left-wing opponents and gave them to his supporters or sent them to be brought up in convents or monasteries, a new book says.

		The authors said children of republican supporters who had been executed by Franco's firing squads were often kept in homes run by the welfare department.
