What is the most likely reason that Italy and Germany supported the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War?

Sagot :

Italy and Germany also had nationalistic governments, and there were a lot of similarities among them. With nationalists winning, Germany and Italy had allies in Europe, and a counter-balance to Great Britain and France. Also, they believed that this could stop the spread of communism to other parts of Europe. Strategically, a nationalistic government was a benefit for the German and Italian regimes of the time. 

Italy and Germany wanted to promote the spread of fascism.
