ResumoThis essay examines the origins of the Falangist Auxilio Social, the principal aid organisation of the Franco regime (1936–1975), as the product of a context marked by two essential characteristics. First, the mobilizing trends that the Spanish Civil War, an example of 'total war', forced upon society. Second, the tensions within the right-wing coalition that, in support of the rising, favoured the ascent of the Falangists during the war and their decline once 'Victory' was attained. In short, the postwar period was in a different context: the demobilization that followed the war and the shift in the division of power among the members of the coalition. Both factors impacted on the aid and education system that the Auxilio Social embodied from 1939, especially on the network of children's homes that would shelter what were called 'children of the Auxilio Social'.
