Mention of World War II, is undoubtedly a nightmare in human history, this is the largest war in thousands of years, before and after the involvement of 61 countries and regions, causing more than 200 million casualties, economic losses of up to more than 5 trillion US dollars, the reason why so tragic, the number of countries participating in the war is a factor, in addition to the use of many powerful advanced weapons in the war, such as the United States to Japan two atomic bombs, which also allowed the end of World War II.
World War II was originally a just war against fascism, its outbreak is inseparable from the participation of justice league countries, like the Soviet Union, Britain and other world powers, but there is a world power is out of the matter, that is, Spain, it is the only world power in World War II did not participate in the war, which makes people feel very curious, why did it not participate in it at that time, what is it busy with?
In fact, a large part of the reason why Spain did not participate in the war was that the domestic economic development was not good, coupled with the civil war and the improper implementation of land policies and other factors, which made the already bad economic situation even worse, and even the food supply was not available at that time.
Because Spain has unique and rich mineral resources, it has attracted the attention of all countries in the world, and they want it to join the war to help, including Hitler, who believes that although Spain's strength is not as good as Germany, it is still very optimistic about it, when there was civil strife in Spain, Hitler held a good attitude to vigorously support the leader Franco.
During this time, Hitler had been expressing his thoughts, hoping that Spain would join him, but was pushed away by Franco's euphemisms. As World War II entered a fever pitch, Franco was willing to join the fascist camp on the condition that Germany pay Spain or not enter the war.
Although Franco did not succeed, he still pretended to send a volunteer army to help the German army, and due to the small number of people sent, Hitler asked him to increase his strength, but he refused. Later, the United States also took the initiative to negotiate with Spain, saying that as long as this team was removed, it would be able to ensure that the Spanish regime was not threatened by any country.
This act undoubtedly annoyed Hitler, but it was not easy to turn his face, and he could only choose to swallow his anger. In fact, during the period of Spanish civil strife, the countries that aided Spain were not only Germany, but also France, Britain and other countries that came to help, and Spain's neutral attitude may have been formed because of this.
Although Spain did not participate in the war, it also made a fortune from it, when it was an arms broker, sold to the two camps separately, so it gained a lot of wealth, after the war other countries suffered serious economic losses due to the war, while Spain's economic development maintained a good momentum, undoubtedly in the Second World War, in addition to the United States, the biggest beneficiary.
