Disagree Don. Please recall I offered the scenario by which the so-called Republic had triumphed in the civil war. As an ally against Nazi Germany it would certainly have been favored during the war even if it did not engage actively. Agree that Gilbraltor would have been a pivotal element but do not agree that substance would have remained for an internal revolt (any moree than Franco allowed remnants of his opponents to remain viable). Given ten years to consolidate power and having been armed to some extent by the allies - the issue would not been resolved so simply.
Disagree Don – not that Spain would have been significant on its own but that it could not have been. Russia could well have armed Spain just as it would have Cuba, East Germany and the Soviet block – just as the US did with missle placemetns during the Cold War.
Agree scout – we can and should “open our mouths” on this – whatever our silly former presidents have established. We hact, like any other person or nation, in our own iterests, whatever agreements were made in the past.
Since the end of WW2 -? All of them. East Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Yugoslavia. The last was the 1st to assert its independence while remaining communist.
These are little beter than rumors. I've also heard of note proudly proclaiming sabotage left in bombs that didn't explode.I'd like to see fact on these claims.
