Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei whitianga - I whanau mai i Ferrol, Galicia, i roto i te whanau hoia o runga, i mahi a Franco i te ope taua Paniora hei kaiako i te Toledo Infantry Academy mai i te 1907 ki te 1910. I a ia e mahi ana i Morocco, i eke ia i roto i nga rarangi hei rangatira rangatira i te tau 1926, 33 ona tau, hei rangatira rangatira taitamariki i Spain. E rua tau i muri mai ka noho a Franco hei kaiwhakahaere o te General Military Academy i Zaragoza. I te mea he kaitiaki me te rangatira, i pouri a Franco i te whakakore i te rangatiratanga me te whakaturanga o te Republic Tuarua i te 1931. I whakangaromia ia e te katinga o tana Whare Wananga, engari i haere tonu tana mahi i roto i te ope Reipa. I whakarahihia tana mahi i muri i te wikitoria o te CEDA matau me te PRR i te pooti o te tau 1933, i whakawhiwhia ai ia ki te arahi i te riri o te 1934 i Asturias
He aha? I whakaarahia a Franco mo te wa poto ki te Tumuaki o nga Kaimahi o te ope taua i mua i te pooti o te tau 1936 i neke i te maui Popular Front ki te mana, i whakahekehia ia ki nga Moutere o Canary. Whai muri i te koretake tuatahi, ka uru atu ia ki te mahi hoia o Hurae 1936, i muri i te kore o te tango i Spain, i whakaoho i te Pakanga Tangata Paniora.
