In 1936 France in governed by the Front Populaire, an alliance of parties from the left, including the Communist Party, the radical left, and the SFIO (future Socialist Party). It was in many ways a coalition against the fascism that was getting quite strong in France.
When Franco launched his civil war against Spain's Frente Popular, the Front Populaire was divided, with the Communists wanting to help the Spanish Republicans and the others fearing, if they intervened, that their would be a civil war in France itself. The Prime Minister Leon Blum chose not to act, and their government collapsed.

So, what would be the consequences if Leon Blum for whatever reason do intervene, for France, for Spain? Also, what would the consequences be on WWII, which would probably still happen?
