Spanish question (United Nations)

An American cartoon from 1945 depicts Francisco Franco attempting to stop his "pro-Axis record", and other evidence of pro-Nazi sympathies, escaping alongside the skeleton in the closet.

The Spanish question (Spanish: Cuestión Española) was the set of geopolitical and diplomatic circumstances that marked the relationship between Spain and the United Nations between 1945 and 1955, centred on the UN's refusal to admit Spain to the organization due to Francoist Spain's sympathy for the Axis powers, defeated in World War II.
