==Ideology==
==Ideology==
While often said to be fascist, and despite adopting certain elements of fascism during his rule, his ideology differed from fascism in several ways. Fascism has the revolutionary aim to transform a society, while Franco's rule was rather conservative and traditional. The main elements of his rule are said to be national conservatism, authoritarianism, anti-freemasonry, anti-Communism, a strong promotion of Roman Catholicism and support of the family. Some of his early supporters in the Falange were fascist, but he distanced himself from fascism after [[World War II]].

Franco was openly anti-Semitic. In his tenure all Jewish organizations in Spain were shut down.<ref>http://www.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%206034.pdf</ref> In 1941 he prepared a list of all 6,000 Jews in Spain to give it to Reichsführer SS [[Heinrich Himmler]].<ref>https://www.haaretz.com/1.5137381</ref> In 1948 Franco still identified Jews, along with [[Masonry|Masons]] and [[Communism|Communists]], as the great evil facing Spain. He never recognized the state of [[Israel]] because of its opposition to Spanish membership in the United Nations.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/1986/01/17/world/spain-a-european-holdout-to-estblish-ties-with-israel.html</ref>
