3. Nazis refer to members of the National Socialist Party of Adolf Hitler which controlled Germany from 1933 to 1945. The Nazis believed that the German race was better than all others and therefore would one day rule the world. They also had a violent hatred of Jews that led to the establishment of Concentration Camps (i.e., Death Prisons) and to the Holocaust.

4. Franco’s Spain refers to Spain under the rule of General Francisco Franco. Franco led the Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and personally controlled Spain’s government until his death in 1975. Franco’s Spain did not participate in World War II, although his government sided with Germany in many ways. Like Hitler, Franco believed that people’s lives should be completely controlled by the government. In the 1950s, Franco changed his image from “total government control” to a more-or-less “anti-Communist” image, which helped gain the approval of the United States, with which he concluded a military bases agreement in 1953. A brief biography about him can be found at http://www.bartleby.com/65/fr/Franco-F.html.
