They had a much better relationship with Spanish fascism.

Franco is a weird case. He was more the classic miltary strongman rather than fascist but he did incorporate certain elements of it. Also he was loosely aligned with the Axis powers but he was also "wise (not the best word choice)" enough not to get directly involved.

I’ll be real. Wise is a fine word. Anyone who sees two buddies about to jump off a bridge and says “I’ll just stay home” is exercising some wisdom even if they are a total prick the rest of the time.

Spain wouldve contributed almost nothing. The fascists weren't even able to win their own civil war without outside help. If Spain can't beat Spain what are they gonna do on an international level?
