During the Spanish Civil War Franco had 3 major supporters-Hitler,Mussolini and the Pope.
Mussolini supplied him with rifles and ammunition.
Hitler had his planes and pilots aiding Franco’s troops as Franco had no air power.Hitler used the war as a training ground for his air forces.
The Pope gave him financial support and gave him his blessings which legitimized him on the world stage.Franco,in turn,promised that if he was successful he would allow no other religions to be practiced.
Franco kept his word.I was in Spain during Franco’s reign.No Protestant chaplains were allowed to be stationed on the base nor were any non-Catholic religious services allowed on base.
Protestants that wanted to have services,Bible study,etc had to sneak around and gather in servicemen’s apartments around town.They had to be very careful not to raise suspicions amongst the Spanish populace.They were subject to arrest and imprisonment.

This is true, but the Soviets were fighting against Franco and wanted to outlaw all religion. Removing context isn’t a great idea when discussing history
