You do have a point. Once the Francoists(Fascists, Nationalists and Monarchists) were defeated, the civil war would've continued as Spanish Republic vs Communists vs Anarchists as all 3 had opposing views and the only reason they fought on the same side was their shared hatred of Fascism, Nationalism and the Monarchy.

Nonetheless, from what I have heard and read, before the war, the government was trying to decrease the power of the Catholic Church in Spain while most of the violance was committed by Far-Left militias.
