Francoist Spain (Great Nuclear War)

Francoist Spain, also known as Nationalist Spain, and officially referred to as the Spanish State or Kingdom of Spain, was a nation in Iberia, lead by Francisco Franco from 1939 to 1978, when Franco died. Whilst hit heavily in the War, the State managed to survive.

Great Nuclear War
Iberia as a whole was hit hard by the Great Nuclear War. Indeed, the capitial of Madrid was hit, but government officials, including Franco, were evacuated to Córboda, in the South. Here an emergency government was formed.

Annexation of Gibraltar

As it became obvious that the Spanish State was not yet in a position to retake its former lands, a plan was formulated to invade Gibraltar. Formally a British Crown Colony, the Great Nuclear War meant that it lost communications with the United Kingdom. Virtually undefended, on the 15th June 1968 Spain invaded Gibraltar. Whilst originally putting up fierce resistance, by the 20th, the defending troops and hundreds of Gibraltans boarded boats and evacuated, the largest number coming to Malta.
