In discussions where Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, or Lenin is mentioned I am
reminded that Franco stayed in power in Spain well into the 1970s. Further,
it wasn't by upheaval or collapse that he left "office". Instead, as
Wikipedia has it, "By 1973 Franco had surrendered the function of prime
minister remaining only as head of state and commander in chief of the
military".
Wikipedia adds:
"In Spain and abroad, the legacy of Franco remains controversial. The
longevity of Franco's rule, his suppression of opposition, and the effective
propaganda sustained through the years have made a detached evaluation
difficult. For almost 40 years, Spaniards, and particularly children at
school, were told that Divine Providence had sent Franco to save Spain from
chaos, atheism, and poverty."
