Summary: During the Civil War and the first few years of the Second World War, fascist-influenced youth associations were established by the Franco dictatorship in Spain. However, the defeat of the Axis powers and Franco’s rapprochement with the United States led to changes both to the regime and its youth associations. Within the context of a youth history that is gaining increasing importance, the great interest in these groups lies particularly in their long lifetime ( far longer than that of their counterparts in Fascist Italy or Nazi Germany). As a result of this longevity, these groups had to deal with important changes, without publicly admitting their failure, of a socio-political and cultural nature and which concerned the same ways of organizing youth.
Sunto: Un associazionismo giovanile monolitico inquadrabile in un regime sul modello fascista venne impiantato in Spagna dagli apparati politici del franchismo già tra gli anni della guerra civile e l'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale. Dopo i rovesci politico-militari dei fascismi e l'avvicinamento di Franco agli Stati Uniti, tuttavia, l'impostazione originaria di queste organizzazioni venne in parte stemperata, e la cura di questa gioventù di Stato affidata a soggetti non sempre riconducibili alla Falange. Lo spiccato interesse storiografico per queste esperienze associative del regime franchista sta innanzi tutto nella loro durata quasi quarantennale - di parecchio superiore a quelle analoghe dell'Italia fascista e tanto più della Germania nazista - che ha imposto loro di fronteggiare, senza ammettere pubblicamente un proprio sostanziale fallimento, cambiamenti epocali nelle culture e aggregazioni giovanili.

Abstract
Summary: During the Civil War and the first few years of the Second World War, fascist-influenced youth associations were established by the Franco dictatorship in Spain. However, the defeat of the Axis powers and Franco’s rapprochement with the United States led to changes both to the regime and its youth associations. Within the context of a youth history that is gaining increasing importance, the great interest in these groups lies particularly in their long lifetime ( far longer than that of their counterparts in Fascist Italy or Nazi Germany). As a result of this longevity, these groups had to deal with important changes, without publicly admitting their failure, of a socio-political and cultural nature and which concerned the same ways of organizing youth.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
