Right-wing idealists from across Europe volunteered to fight for Nationalist Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Aside from those soldiers fighting with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany the most notable were the Irish Brigade, under General Eoin O'Duffy, a contingent from the French fascist Croix de Feu and many Salazar loyalists from neighbouring Portugal.
