Born in Spain in 1892, <u>Francisco Franco</u> was the sole leader of Spain and the nationalists that defeated democracy in the Spanish Civil War, which established an authoritarian government that lasted until Francisco Franco's death in 1975, after a 36 years dictatorship.
He died of unknown causes in 323 BCE without clearly naming a successor (or, according to some accounts, his choice of the commander Perdiccas was ignored) and the empire he built was divided among the Diadochi.
