It's nothing to do with the BBC

State funded and independent. Never heard that one before.

@@LivebythecodeVJLEE You are old enough to remember BBC, CBC, ABC, even PBS being better media outlets, without the censorship of advertisers, billionaire owner editorial control and at-will employee toadying. What makes these outlets poison today is the tribal control and needs of global capital to control narratives. Private media is just as bad---and no longer even makes a profit. Even when they did a couple of decades ago, it was through advertising, not subscriptions.

Very well said. I find they provide a fascinating new insight on many issues still very much present with us today…

@@Housey1985 very much agree 👍 we want change, stability and a hopeful future... ...with our tech racing ahead and other crucial leaps made in science and engineering... ...but besides the clothes and lingo, humans simply haven't had the time to 'evolve' - separated by centuries we're still, fundamentally, working on that 🤤 Thanks for commenting, I feel there's always more to hear, compare and reflect on when it comes to random comments on random videos :)

​@@Housey1985Like what? History repeats because people keep bringing it up instead of moving on.

That's a fair comment...

Agree, these older documentaries, contemporaneous with the events they describe, are fascinating. Like an eye-witness they truly bring history to life. No need for the benefit of hindsight here. So far Spain has done well under its constitutional monarchy - I wish that beautiful country well.

I agree very fair assessment and refreshinf. Cant believe the amount of support for authoritarians on the internet.

They also assassinated over 800 innocent people -the vast majority civilians, during DEMOCRACY... they also practiced economic blackmail, issued death threats, kidnapped countless individuals and forcibly expelled over 250 thousand people from the Basque country, the vast majority Basques who didn't agree with ETA and left their homeland to dodge all the troubles and death threats... their politics relied on a supremacist and racist ideology towards other Spanish people who share the Iberian peninsula with them.

dmctztv no

ETA was created by the CIA and EU in order to put pressure on Franco to surrender sovereignty and join the EU. They never believed in independence for Basque country, that's a complete lie and just a cover for their true purposes. They openly admitted wanting European federalist dictatorship run by commissioners from brussels, which is the same reason Britain recently declared independence because they realised it was a colonial tyranny run by unelected people they cant remove. Even Pro EU leftist globalist Wikipedia admits that ETA was merely a group created to use violence to force Franco to surrender to the EU globalist agenda. It makes clear ETA was a euro federalist group. Franco would never negotiate on matters of sovereignty, he would be disgusted if he saw how Spain has appeased and surrendered everything to the EU socially liberal globalist tyranny that dictates the peoples lives for the whole of Europe from far away without accountability. He would literally wage a nationalist war of liberation if he saw the treason that's taking place today. Its disgusting.

@ameise4038 unfortunate that they only do two now

José María de Areilza Conde de Motrico.

Big thonk

Do the math: The narrator in the film says Franco is 76. Franco died in 1975 at the age of 82. The difference between 82 and 76? 6 years. What is 6 years prior to ‘75? ‘69, Dude! Everything looks older because it’s a conservative military dictatorship. They weren’t on the cutting edge of fashion or technology.

Also they’re filming PATTON in the film which was released in 1970.

It talks about 1968 events in France & Mexico City so 1969 seems more reasonable.

The year can’t be 1961 by the priests are celebrating the Novus Ordo ‘mass,’ which wasn’t promulgated until like 1968-69.

Franco was an admirer of Barcelona. in fact they had a super special relationship and it was like their honorary president. barcelona awarded franco 2 prizes in the form of trophy and club titles.

@@baltasarmelchor935 added to the fact he was actually an Atleti fan. He only showed support for Madrid when they became popular and successful.

They are a handsome people and most of North Spain including the Asturianos look like them. A Basques face tends to have stronger, bigger, robust bones and an Asturianos and often times Galician is daintier and on the pretty side like Emilio Estevez and the Asturianu in my avatar. Catalans are extremely handsome but look more obviously Germanic to me than celtic (Catalan boys I have seen have a diamond shape face often times with light brown hair) but I have seen this to with Asturianus.. That's how I can tell them apart, atleast a Basque and an Asturianu, but most of the North resembles each other probably because they were once related somehow.

If you are talking about the knights from the Reconquest those mainly are in Asturias (the cradle of the Reconquest founded by Don Pelayo) and that's why they have Santo in their surnames as part of a venerated title they were given for being a knight. That is why King Felipe calls himself King Felipe De Todos Los Santos de Bourbon Greca. He is the king of all the Saints especially in Asturias, where he is from. They are a celt-iberian Germanic people with Roman surnames sometimes. There probably were knights in Basqueland but didn't seem to be not given Roman titles. Maybe the Basques wanted to retain their unique surnames.

@@asturiasceltic3183 Oh. Gracias por la valiosa información. Encuentro que los españoles modernos no son tan hermosos como lo eran en la antigüedad. Soy Vietnamita, pero me encanta la cultura Española.

They just ignored the fact that ETA was a bolshevik totalitarian Terrorist group. Fuelled by the money given by the URSS via Cuba, and the money they made through Drug dealing, arms dealing, counterfitting, kidnap, blackmail, and money laundering.

Timestamp?

No it's sort of chain mail for polishing metal bits of kit

Funny thing is Switzerland did the same but upheld it direct democracy and freedom. Crazy how that works. But again tells how Franco was great for doing the same but not allowing freedom or democracy and murdering people. He was a POS

@@PvtPooter you're a fking communist. Your opinion does not matter.

Indeed. The technocratic nucleus of the Spanish state is still strongly Francoist in orientation (with some modern bourgeois cosmopolitan influence introduced during the neoliberal period of development). Seeing the Spanish state’s response to the Catalonian national struggle tells you all you need to know.

also many people fought against that and were put in jailed

That is because of the non registered mass muerders in the red zone.

And where does Iraq stand in that ranking ? Or Libya ? Strange how forget the near past, so quickly?

Franco was dead by 1979

Lol

let him fucking try

that way the UK could depose him and set a new democratic government

@@jaimealvarez5546 sadly the UK conservative govt in the 1930s was effectively pro Franco, they claimed to be neutral but appeased Hitler and Mussolini, taking no action when they financed and armed franco's fascists.The Spanish civil was the first act of appeasement of fascism,followed by appeasement in Czechoslovakia.If they had stood up to Hitler he would likely have backed down,the republic would have won and the republic would have had no need to accept help from Stalin,the whole of european history would be different as Hitler admitted he wasnt ready to fight a war in 1936 and would have backed down, but when the allies appeased him it emboldened him to continue his move towards war

@William Traynor-Kean To close the Mediterranean to the Royal Navy. Franco could easily have taken Gibraltar with German help.

As a politician he said.

Maybe he was the wisest of the three, on the other hand Spain was broken, ruined by the recent civil war and not really in a position to enter another war.

@James Henderson Show me the evidence/proof of that?

Good, he just keep it to himself and doesn't or i mean rarely implement racial policy. That is good step but still, the traces of the fascist elements still there and democracy died within it

@Pan-European Nationalist You are entitled to your own opinion but you are not entitled to your own facts. The way you characterized the legally elected Spanish government is false. Read a book.

@Pan-European Nationalist There is a long answer to your statement (which I believe to be substantially incorrect). I do not have time to attempt that answer this morning I will only point out that that must be why the current LEGALLY ELECTED government of Spain is moving to legally dig up and remove the filthy remains of the Catholic fascist mass-murderer & Dictator Francisco Franco.

Moron

Stop spreading cancer stormfags

He remained neutral, wasn't a threat and he was an anti-Communist.

Because he won the war, remained neutral and was useful to your anglosaxon countries to stop Sovietism and also to have a pacified place with good food and weather to go on holidays.

Because the majority of Spaniards are Francoists - to this day.

Because he happily stabbed those foreign fascists who had supported him in the back. The only good thing he ever did.

Because Spain would have fallen to the communists, and the cold war with the USSR holding Spain would have been very hot. Remember incidents like the Cuban missile crisis? Those were the real threats, Spain already figured it out 6 years before the rest of the world did.

@Mr and Mrs. Smith only Yugoslavia dint exist no more and some former states in Yugoslavia are doing well

Hilarious. Most of the populace were dirt poor. The main income was American money for nuclear air bases and agriculture. If you were the small elite who supported Franco you were OK though.

@@simac8640 Yeah....Spain really prospered under the Republic. Its really hard to beat Socialist and Anarchist economics. Franco ruined a beautiful system. Dumbass. Socialism kinda works in Nordic countries. Largely because they are very united in their ideal of being one people. Spain is not a very unified country... Never has been. Telling a Catalan that he needs to pay 63% of his income in redistributive taxes because Andalucians arent very industrial is a HARD sell my dude. Leftism is just so tired... Yawn.

Which area of Spain is Galicia?

@@Smudgeroon74 North west, just above portugal

That's not true. The translation was correct. It's your political agenda that wants to correct it. In Spain, the TV & politiician talk about the nationalists as being the Catalans, Basques or Galicians, for example. But what about Spanish nationalists? Those who want their country unified, strong and revere the flag? Don't tell me theey aren't nationalists, because they are. They just don't want to be seen as the other side of the same coin as other nationalists.

@@theendofmytether Sorry but you know little about the spanish civil war. The side that won called themselves "Los Nacionales" not "Los Nacionalistas". It´s not the TV that says so. When looking for sources to study history it is better to read books.
