Is there any way Spain could go Fascist in the 1920's similar to what occurred in Italy? Trying to get a stronger Spain that can actually contribute to the Axis.
Primo De Rivera was the dictator of Spain in the 20s. He was a right wing authoritarian, idk if you would call him a fascist though. If he could maintain army support longer and choose a successor maybe that would work.

If you want a stronger Spain, you certainly don't want to hire fascists to run that country.
Being all about the Glory of the State, they will spend resources on vanity projects that look good.
It will be stronger inasmuch as it avoids the ravages of the civil war.
I think he's close enough to fascism to call him a fascist. Primo De Rivera's corporatist economics were a typical fascist economic platform. Not all corporatist states are fascist, but all fascist states have had some variant of corporatist economics. Fascists claimed to transcend class conflict and gain support from trade unions by promising a syndicalist, "class collaborationist" system where labor and capital would both be represented as part of their respective industries. The fascist leader with absolute power mediates between them, and in practice labor normally lost. For example, the NSDAP banned independent trade unions, but created a "German Labor Front" to represent workers and owners.Primo De Rivera was the dictator of Spain in the 20s.
