Salazar and Franco: The Complex Relationship of Iberian Dictators

Salazar and Franco were authoritarian leaders of Portugal and Spain in the mid-20th century. They shared right-wing ideologies but had a complex relationship due to differing priorities and geopolitical interests. Cooperation and rivalry coexisted between them, often influenced by territorial disputes and political disagreements.

From the United States have heard of Salazar before but a little more of Franco.

Interesting video but the background music was way too lound and the comentery voice too low.

I lived my childhood years under Salazar’s government, in Mozambique. I was born in 1954. In my school we had all types of pupils. Black, white, brown, chinese, afro-portuguese, rich, poor, catholic, muslim, hindu, buddist, etc. We were all in the Portuguese Youth (Mocidade Portuguesa), boys and girls. We wore the same uniform, sang together, camped, learned bushcraft, sail, gymnastics, etc. We were a happy lot. Racism or religion was inexistent. Moral issues and lessons, yes. Boys were taught boys’ stuff, and girls their things. When the revolution arrived in 1974, all the evil things came along too. Racial hatred, religion was banned, political intolerance, etc. Salazar may have commited mistakes, but he was better then the rest that came along.

Salazar was not a Monarchist. He gained the support of many of the nobility in time, but he took much from them and arrested many initially. There was an uneasy "he is better than the communists" sort of relationship between the monarchists and Salazar.
