The Spanish Civil war was a fight between autocracy and democracy with one side backed by the Nazi and Italy and the other by... well by the USSR but the Spanish wanted French help.
So, why didn't France intervene? A nationalist dictature with Nazi backing wouldn't have been a big French ally anyway and it would have been an easy gamble to back the Republicans with weapons and advisors, if they didn't intervene with actual troups.
So, why? Any idea?
