The content of this work is an analysis of Franco Spain's economic and political cooperation with Nazi Germany during the Second World War in comparison with the Spanish Civil War period. The theoretical part focuses on the description of the Spanish authoritarian regime and on the socio-economic causes and consequences of the civil war. The practical part describes the cooperation between foreign trade during both periods and then compares them. The aim of the thesis is to confirm the hypothesis that during the Second World War the structure and content of foreign trade changed in comparison with the period of civil war. Next, to answer the question of what significance for Spain had on cooperation with Germany immediately after the end of World War II. The comparison of both periods results in a significant change in the structure and content of foreign trade between Spain and Germany. The answer to the question of the meaning of cooperation for Spain immediately after the war is based on post-war developments in Europe. In particular, from the fact that Spain was excluded from the Marshall Plan and was undergoing a deep economic crisis. The contribution of this work is the elaboration of a topic that is not elaborated in detail by Czech historians or economists. However, the subject should be further explored on the basis of indicators other than those already done.
