Fascist Triumvirate

The Fascist Triumvirate was one of two main coalitions that represented a handful of fascist authoritarian governments during the Cold War. It consisted of Germany, Italy, and Spain. Germany sought to annex France into its new fascist dictatorship but this plot eventually failed. The triumvirate in question was led by Otto Dickel of Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy, and Francisco Franco of Spain. 
The Fascist Triumvirate's origin was the Allied coalition against Soviet Russia in the European Front in the mid-1930s. Despite having nominally joined the Triple Alliance before, Italy did not take part in World War I on the side of the Central Powers. The Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria did not join until after World War I had begun. The Fascist Triumvirate collapsed into liberal democracies in the late 20th century.
