Spanish Government in Exile (1945-1946): Collapse of the Anti-Francoist Project

The article discusses the history of the Spanish government in exile formed in 1945 by politicians of the Second Spanish Republic which was defeated in the Civil War (1936-1939). After the end of the World War II a significant part of the Spanish emigration attempted to eliminate the Franco dictatorship through the support of the Great Powers as well as through the newly established United Nations. However, the divisions in emigrant political circles were insurmountable, the newly-formed government had little support, and its collapse was inevitable.
