Francisco Franco
(1892–1975)
Anecdote...
Franco had remarkable powers of endurance and persisted
in surviving long after the time that even many of his supporters considered
appropriate. On his deathbed, his aide announced that a General García
wanted to be admitted to say goodbye to him. Franco asked, "Why,
is García going on a trip?"
Biographical Note...
Spanish general and statesman. Commander in chief
of the Falangists in the Spanish Civil War, he established a dictatorship
(1939) after the defeat of the Republican government. He maintained Spain's
neutrality during World War II and remained head of state until his death.
