Well I guess that after three years of bloody civil war, 1936 to 1939, with the country devastated, it wasn't very smart to get in a war with the allies. And even if Franco had try that, it wouldn't lasted long, since the axis powers lost the war (Spain was a neutral country, except for the fact that it sent an infantry division to help Hitler in the Russian front. Franco was a big anti-communist) ..
Besides there is no need to shed any blood. Now-days Spain and the UK are close allies, ( NATO, European Union). It should be return to us eventually, like Hong Kong was returned to China.
