Caudillo was the term used to refer the charismatic populist leaders among the people. Spanish leader Francisco Franco used the title "Caudillo de España, por la gracia de Dios" after taking control of the Nationalist forces of the Spanish Civil War , echoing the titles "Führer" and "Il Duce". José Sanjurjo, the original leader of the Nationalists, had expressed his intent to use the title himself before his death in 1936.
