What are the features of Spanish fascism?

Modern scholars of Francisco Franco’s activities at the head of the Spanish state from 1936 to 1975 associate Francoism with classical fascism, with authoritarianism, or with a unique form of government. The head of state was the personality of Franco and the party founded by de Rivera in 1933 – the “Spanish Phalanx”. An integral part of society was the Catholic Church, which for hundreds of years had a tremendous influence on the minds of Spanish citizens. The peculiarities of this regime can be called reforms and the “Spanish miracle” of the late 50s and early 60s, which brought the country to 10 industrialized states of the world and relative peacefulness in comparison with Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Third Reich.
