The Canary Islands ( ; Spanish: "Las Islas Canarias" ] , ] ) also known as The Canaries (Spanish: "Las Canarias" ), are an archipelago and autonomous community of Spain located on the Atlantic Ocean, 100 km west of Morocco.
 The Canaries are among the outermost regions (OMR) of the European Union proper.
 It is also one of the eight regions with special consideration of historical nationality recognized as such by the Spanish Government.
Nicola Chiaromonte (1905 in Rapolla, Potenza – 18 June 1972 in Rome) was an Italian activist and author.
 In 1934 he fled Italy for France, after opposing Benito Mussolini's fascist government.
 During the Spanish Civil War, he flew in André Malraux's squadron, fighting against fascist supported General Francisco Franco.
 The character of Scali in Malraux's novel "Man's Hope" is based on Chiaromonte.
 After moving to New York in 1941, he took on an important role in the leftist anti-Stalinist intellectual scene of the period, writing for "The Nation", "The New Republic", "politics" and "Partisan Review".
 During the Cold War, he helped found, and served as editor, for the Italian journal "Tempo Presente", which was published by the Congress for Cultural Freedom (an organization with silent backing of the Central Intelligence Agency).
 Mary McCarthy was a close friend during his time in US.
 A foreword to the 1985 edition of Chiaramonte's book of essays "The Paradox of History" (1970) was written by Joseph Frank, a noted Dostoyevsky scholar.
German involvement in the Spanish Civil War of 1936 commenced with the outbreak of war in July 1936, with Adolf Hitler immediately sending in powerful air and armored units to assist General Francisco Franco and his Nationalist forces.
 The Soviet Union sent in smaller forces to assist the Republican government, while Britain and France and two dozen other countries set up an embargo on any munitions or soldiers into Spain.
 Germany also signed the embargo but simply ignored it.
 The war provided combat experience with the latest technology for the German military.
 However, the intervention also posed the risk of escalating into a world war for which Hitler was not ready.
 He therefore limited his aid, and instead encouraged Mussolini to send in large Italian units.
 Franco's Nationalists were victorious; he became an informal ally of Germany, while remaining neutral in the Second World War.
 The Spanish episode lasted three years and was a smaller-scale prelude to the world war which broke out in 1939.
"Doña" María del Carmen Franco y Polo, 1st Duchess of Franco, Grandee of Spain, Dowager Marquise of Villaverde (born 14 February 1926) is the only child of Spain's "Caudillo", dictator General Francisco Franco and his wife Carmen Polo y Martínez-Valdès.
 In Asturian fashion, she is known by many nicknames such as Nenuca, Carmelilla, Carmencita, Cotota and Morita.
Ramón Serrano Suñer (12 September 1901 – 1 September 2003), was a Spanish politician during the first stages of General Francisco Franco's dictatorship, the Spanish State, between 1938 and 1942, when he held the posts of President of the Spanish Falange caucus (1936), and then Interior Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister.
 Serrano Suñer was known for his pro-Third Reich stance during World War II, when he supported the sending of the Blue Division to fight along with the Wehrmacht on the Russian front.
 He was also the brother-in-law of the Spanish dictator General Franco, for which he was nicknamed "Cuñadísimo".
 (Franco himself was, officially, the "generalísimo".)
Major Hugh Bertie Campbell Pollard (born London 6 January 1888: died Midhurst district March, 1966) was an author, firearms expert, and a British SOE officer.
 He is chiefly known for his intelligence work during the Irish War of Independence and for the events of July 1936, when he and Cecil Bebb flew General Francisco Franco from the Canary Islands to Morocco, thereby helping to trigger the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
 He was the author of many published works on weaponry, in particular on sporting firearms.
Sir Amyas Pollard, 3rd Baronet (1616–1701) was an English gentleman of Devon and a baronet.
 Little is known of his life except that he was a staunch royalist during the Civil War, as evidenced by the inscribed verse on his ledger stone at Abbots Bickington: "Who durst the King & royall cause still own, In times when doing it was so dangerous known".
 He was the last in the male line of the ancient Pollard family of Bishop's Nympton.
 He inherited the baronetcy from his elder brother Sir Hugh Pollard, 2nd Baronet (1603–1666)
Duke of Franco (Spanish: "Duque de Franco" ) is a hereditary title in the Spanish nobility.
 The title was created in 1975 by King Juan Carlos and bestowed upon Carmen, the daughter and only child of Spain's "Caudillo", General Francisco Franco.
 Together with the dukedom, she received a Coat of Arms of new creation.
 These arms are a variation of the arms of Andrade family of Galicia, from whom Franco was descended through females.
Captain Charles William Henry "Cecil" Bebb (27 September 1905 – 2002) was a commercial pilot and later airline executive, notable for flying General Francisco Franco from the Canary Islands to Spanish Morocco in 1936, a journey which was to trigger the onset of the Spanish Civil War.
A referendum on the new Spanish constitution or "organic law" was held on 14 December 1966, with all Spaniards over age 21 being allowed to participate.
 The new constitution stipulated a slight restraint on General Francisco Franco's dictatorial powers, designated an office of "Chief of Government" independent from that of Head of State (although both were held concurrently by Franco until 1973), serving terms of five years, nominated by the Council of the Realm and approved by the Chief of State, an office which after Franco's death would be replaced by that of King of Spain with the same authorities and functions.
 The choice of heir belonged to the Head of State alone, to be confirmed in the Cortes Generales by a two-thirds majority and subsequently passed on through inheritance.
