What was the general Western attitude towards Franco's government? Is it true that the Soviets proposed continuing WWII with regime change in Spain? Was anyone actively supporting the Spanish Maquis? Which states (other than Portugal) recognized the Nationalists and which (other than the communist ones and Mexico) the exiled Republicans as the legitimate government? Particularly, what was the attitude of the French (I know the Republicans had some presence in France) and Americans (I know they established diplomatic relations with Franco in '53)?
