The USA wanted the Canary Islands for access to the Med and Great Britain would retain Gibaltrar for the same reason. Stalin was a Dictator and master of the East. His "USSR" was only focused on the Bosphorous as Germany was divided in two back then thus posing no threat to anyone. Only the USA supported Ankara after WW2 as all the Empires of Europe collapsed. | |

| Oct 4, 2016 at 22:03 | comment | added | fedorqui | I had never seen the Yalta Agreement as something that would also include Spain, but during the research for the question I noticed that it could have been. However, I did not dig much on it, so I am very happy you did. So the "TL;DR" for all of this would be Yes, Spain was a Fascist dictatorship, but more importantly it was an anti-communist country. Marshall Plan started including Spain from 1951, for example. | |

| Oct 4, 2016 at 21:37 | comment | added | fedorqui | I am a bit ashamed of the comment of mine that you mention, since it was simplistic. However, I am also happy to have written it, so that it triggered this fantastic answer. Wow, this is a great piece of history, with many resources I will try to digest in the upcoming days. | |
