Hispanic eugenics are a positive eugenics based around the political purification of a people, developed in Spain during the interwar period and put into practice in the Spanish Civil War, eventually being made into political policy in Francoist Spain. The concept was first expounded upon in the 1930s by men like Antonio Vallejo-Nájera and Gregorio Marañón. It was heavily influenced by Roman Catholicism. Much of this was realized through Francoist policies around the role of women and their bodies.
