From April 1935, the situation in Spain became even more chaotic.
Why more chaotic? Because aside from France, Russia also joined in, beginning its support for the Spanish Republic.
So, the question arises, why did Russia, which had been maintaining a low profile since the end of the civil war, decide to step forward and support the Spanish Republic?
This could not be discussed without mentioning the problems brought to Russia by its unique ideology.
In all of Europe, Russia had no allies. Other than the somewhat sympathetic Spanish Republican government, the other countries were either controlled by capital or were monarchies, which were far different from Russia's political system.
Additionally, Russia's support for Spain was also motivated by a desire to limit the expansion speed of Germany and Italy.
After all, Russia was also a neighbor of Germany, and a strong Germany was not good news for Russia.
