In 1936, General Francisco Franco started a revolution in Spain
He (and other army officers) rebelled against the republican Spanish government, which had replaced the Spanish monarchy in 1931. Both Hitler and Mussolini provided military support to Franco. The Soviet Union, however, supported the republican government. The U.S. remained neutral, a position reinforced by the fact that the Neutrality Acts forbade the sale of munitions to either side in the Spanish Civil War. Franco prevailed in 1939.
