The Nazis at least had some military victories at first in the Spanish Civil War
The Nationalists were actually losing until Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany helped them. The left and liberals on the Republican side lost because they were not given aid by any outside institutions (well, the leftist in-fighting did not help much either).
The British and French gave ‘moral’ support to the republicans. The Nazis and Italian fascists sent men and equipment. Wars aren’t won by morals. They are won by materials.
There were plenty of other problems with the republican side, but I won’t get into them.
