Falangist Spain
Falangist Spain is a united front between fascists, National Socialists and ultranationalists, participating in the Iberian Wars. They represent the most extreme far-right elements of the Caudillos' regime, planning to subjugate the Iberian peninsula under a fascist dictatorship.
History
Interwar period
The Falange Española de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista (FE de las JONS) was founded in 1934 by José Antonio Primo de Rivera as a result of a fusion of the Falange Española and the Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista. Leading as the main fascist group during the Second Spanish Republic, the party was made up of various groups of monarchists, conservatives, authoritarians and numerous other wings. The party would hope to empower Spain again and allow Spain to launch further imperial acquisitions.
The party found itself with numerous clashes and assassinations from the socialists, who had no intention of allowing a fascist movement develop in Spain, fearing such movement would crush them as hard happened in Germany and Italy. Whilst the countermeasures against the Socialists were ineffective (resulting in the party being ridiculed by the rest of the political right), it was until they eventually formed their own death squads. When Juan Cuéllar was killed and had his corpse abused in Madrid in 1934, the Falangists attacked the Socialist Youth group. José Antonio limited several Falangists from radicalizing in their actions, such as assassinating Indalecio Prieto or blowing up the socialists' headquarters in Madrid.
Elections and the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)
Following the 1936 elections, the Falange found itself in more and more violence with it's enemies. With more assassinations from the Socialists and gun fire being exchanged by both sides and the increase of the organization gaining a large number of new members from the CEDA youth organization, the left-wing Popular Front government (which ruled Spain at the time) persecuted the Falange and imprisoned Marqués de Estella in July 1936. In return, the Falange joined the conspiracy to overthrow the Second Spanish Republic supporting the military revolt led by Francisco Franco and continuing to do so throughout the ensuing Spanish Civil War.
With the eruption of the civil war in July 1936 (after the imprisonment of Marqués de Estella), the Falange joined the Nationalists against the Spanish Republic. Many people joined the Falange out of fear or persecution: former leftists, centrists and other groups rushed to join the faction to avoid suspicion of their loyalty. After Franco's seizure of power in April 1937, he united under his command the the Falange with the Carlist faction, forming the FET y de las JONS. This marked the end of the Falange as an independent faction. The Spanish Civil War saw the deaths of 60% of the pre-war Falangist members.
Francoist Spain (1939-1955)
With the consolidation of Franco's rule, the Falange was charged developing an ideology for Franco's regime. The party saw its peak membership status at the time at roughly 932,000 members in 1942. Despite the unification of the Nationalist factions, tensions arose when in August 1942 a Carlist religious gathering was disturbed by Falangist attacked the event with grenades. This led to a government crisis which caused Franco to dismiss several ministers, with six Falangists convicted of the attack and one executed. On top of that, during the middle of the Second World War, Franco and leading Falangist fanatics instructed that the Falange/FET would be referred to exclusively as a "movement" instead of a "party." The Falange stayed loyal nonetheless. For the rest of the decade, the Falange saw the development of youth organizations.
Iberian Union (1955-1970)
The creation of the Iberian Union turned things around however, and the loyalty of the Falangists gradually decreased more and more, ending the universal popularity. Many hardline nationalists accused the Caudillos of treason, and are rumored to attempt a coup in the regime, which was put down before news of them even left the offices of the government.
Iberian Wars (1970-)
With the Republicans revolting, the Falangists, infuriated at what they deem to be Iberian administration's failings and betrayal of Falangist ideals, attempted to seize complete power with a coup attempt. While this coup failed over the whole administration of the Iberian Union, they did manage to install themselves rulers of the north. Proclaiming themselves the only legitimate Spanish government, they vow to restore order to the rebelling provinces. The Falangists, ideologically fanatical, are now ready to implement the ideas of De Rivera.
The Falangist revolt
Overtime, as Iberia falls apart, the Falangists will follow suit after the Republicans break free. When the war declaration of Iberia on Falangist Spain is declared, the Iberian Wars super event is triggered. The Falangists will find themselves at war with both the Republicans and the federal government, seeking to unify Iberia.
Upon receiving over 70% War Exhaustion, Falangist Spain will collapse upon itself, as the National Redemption Front breaks away and the Frente Azul takes over what is left of the Falangists.
