Spain under Franco


 

The End of Isolation (1953-1957)

The increased tensions between the USA and the USSR in the 1950s, caused the USA to look for new allies in Europe. Franco?s anticommunism was taken into account, and several treaties allowing opening of military bases in Spain were signed in 1953. The USA in return gave Spain economic aid, some as a donation, some to be returned. This soon turned into huge debts for Spain, and the State almost went bankrupt. The isolation was broken when Spain signed a pact with the Vatican and joined the UN in 1955.
