Francoism

Francoismball is a Authoritarian Right ideology that believes that the beliefs of Francisco Franco should be implemented. He is very nationalistic, militaristic, and catholic.

Origins
It all started in 1936 during the beginning of the Spanish civil war. Franco emerged as the dominant rebel military leader and was proclaimed Head of State on 1 October 1936, ruling a dictatorship over the territory controlled by the Nationalist faction. The 1937 Unification Decree, which merged all parties supporting the rebel side, led to Nationalist Spain becoming a single-party regime under the FET y de las JONS.

After the civil war
At the end of the civil war the nationalists won and Franco became dictator of all of Spain. WW2 then broke out, Spain did not join the Axis powers (Germany and Italy) because how war torn the country was. Then The 1947 Law of Succession made Spain a de jure Kingdom again but defined Franco as the Head of State for life with the power to choose the person to become King of Spain and his successor. Reforms were implemented in the 1950s and Spain abandoned autarky, kicked out the Falangist movement, which had been prone to isolationism, to a new breed of economists, the technocrats of Opus Dei. This led to massive economic growth, second only to Japan, that lasted until the mid-1970s, known as the "Spanish miracle". During 1955 Spain joined the United Nations and Franco was one of Europe's most outspoken anti-communist figures: his regime was assisted by the Western powers, particularly the United States, and it was asked to join NATO.

Death of Franco
Franco died in 1975 at the age of 82. He restored the monarchy before his death and made his successor King Juan Carlos I, who would lead the Spanish transition to democracy. This would be the end of Francoism in Spain.

Beliefs
Francoism believes in  Authoritarianism,  Anti-Communism, Spanish nationalism, national Catholicism,  Monarchism,  Militarism, National Conservatism, anti-Masonry, anti-Catalanism, pan-Hispanism, anti-parliamentarism, and anti-liberalism. Some say that it's also fascist or at least a spanish version of fascism but this is false. While it has had relationships with different fascist ideologies it isn't fascist itself.

Personality and Behavior
Francoism is a very serious and stern ball. He is also very nationalistic usually seen praising Spain and her glory. He is also very catholic usually seen either at church, praying, or saying "Ave Maria!" or "Gloria in excelsis Deo!" He is also not that great at speaking English and often the English sounds broken.
