I'm afraid this is a quick-fail on prose. Parts of it read as if they came out of a machine translation from the Spanish, with many grammar errors and unnatural phrasings, including but not limited to the following:

"under the control General Francisco Franco"
"During the Civil War and the dictatorship they were self-styled as the National Army"
"the new uprising state"
"element of power and support for Francoism"
"Franco reserved the last word on death sentences or pardons"

Other issues:

"a pressure element of the Franco regime" what?
"maintaining an oversized structure in times of peace" oversized according to whom?
"the Armed Forces were involved in a monolithic relationship with the Franco dictatorship" ??

Please do not use Google Translate on articles. They have to be manually translated by someone with good command of both languages. (t · c) buidhe 01:23, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Buidhe, thank you anyway for your time, indeed, looks like I inserted accidentally the unmodified version of the machine translated version, I will translate it today. CommanderWaterford (talk) 07:59, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
