The death of Franco in 1975 and the end of his forty year dictatorship gave way to the Spanish democratic state. It was a smooth transition from dictatorship to democracy which took care to not reopen old wounds between the opposing sides from the Civil War.
La mort de Franco al 1975 i la fi de la seva dictadura de 40 anys va donar pas a l'estat democràtic espanyol, basat en una transició no rupturista que ha tingut molta cura de no reobrir velles ferides entre els bàndols enfrontats a la guerra civil.
