Transwiki:Spanish State

When the Spanish Civil War ended, the Spanish State (Estado Español) was created. It was the formal name of Spain from 1939 to 1947 under the authoritarian dictatorship of Francisco Franco and the Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS. In 1947, Spain was reconstituted as a kingdom, which changed the Spanish State into the Kingdom of Spain (Reino de España). However, Franco was still de facto in power as an Regent of Spain.

After World War II, Spain was very poor.

14 years after World War II, Spain enjoyed a miracle due to oil, only to be broke more than 10 years after.

With the death of Franco on 20 November 1975, Juan Carlos became the King of Spain.
