WWII Spain

During World War II, Spain allied with the Axis Powers, mainly because they were pressured to do so by Italy and Germany. Initially they planned to be neutral, but that proved to be difficult as they were in the cross-fire between the Allies and the Axis powers. On one hand they feared invasion by the allies and on the other, Hitler and Germany threatenened to invade Spain. Spain then became a pawn in Hitler's plan to control the Mediterranean along with Vichy France. In the end, Spain fell along with the rest of the axis powers in Europe.
