The second[b] government of Francisco Franco was formed on 9 August 1939, following the end of the Spanish Civil War.[3] It succeeded the first Franco government and was the Government of Spain from 9 August 1939 to 20 July 1945, a total of 2,172 days, or 5 years, 11 months and 11 days.
Coming to be known under various labels by the francoist-controlled media (such as the "Government of Peace" or the "Government of Victory"),[1] the cabinet was made up of members from the different factions or "families" within the National Movement: mainly the FET y de las JONS party—the only legal political party during the Francoist regime—the military, the National Catholic Association of Propagandists (ACNP) and a number of aligned-nonpartisan figures from the civil service. The cabinet saw a large number of changes throughout its tenure, with two major cabinet reshuffles taking place in May 1941 and September 1942.[4][5]
