The spanish civil war is also known as (the great war / a procy war / an inter-war) because many countries indirectly participated in the war

Correct answer:

A proxy war

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) brought Generalissimo Franciso Franco to power in Spain as the leader of a right-wing, authoritarian regime.

A "proxy war" means that the war is part of a larger conflict between world powers, and multiple countries become indirectly involved in the war.

In the case of the Spanish Civil War, fascist regimes such as that of Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy gave support to Franco in Spain, while countries in support of freedom and democracy, such as the United States, aligned with those fighting against Franco.

The Spanish Civil War is also known as simply The Civil War because many countries indirectly participated in the war. The Soviet Union and Mexico supported the Republicans, while Germany and Italy supported the Nationalists, this was under the leadership of Adolf Hilter.
