The only reason why Francisco Franco, a self-admitted fascist, did not join the Axis in WWII is because their country was just destroyed by a civil war with the communists (funded by Stalin) — Franco received significant financial and military aid from Nazi Germany & Italy in doing so. Without the communists burning down most of fascist Spain, the latter most likely would have joined the Axis, which would have made invading the Atlantic wall of Nazi-occupied Europe essentially impossible, thus enabling the victory of Nazi fascism.

So yeah, the communists saved us once again.

Fascist Spain was a joke and it would have folded faster than Italy. It would have probably let the allies trap a bunch of divisions if they played their cards right.

I really like the letter that Charles the V sent to like Cortez asking him why the gently caress he was abusing his new subjects that by right should be treated like those in Spain and Germany and Cortez basically responds that the only reason people would come to New Spain is if they were allowed to abuse the Mexica for profit.
