According to Machiavelli, is it better for a leader to be loved or feared? Meaning should a leader want people to love them or be afraid of them? Provide evidence from the text to justify
your answer (minimum 5 sentences).

Machiavelli viewed humans as “ungrateful, fickle, false.” As such, they are ready to abandon the prince as soon as their interests are attacked. People are in it for themselves and their support to the prince is entirely predicated upon whether that will benefit them.

On the contrary, fear will prevent man from acting against their own interest. It is far easier to keep them in line with the prince’s wishes when the threat of punishment is laid bare. Since people value their lives and properties, as long as the prince doesn’t impinge on those BUT makes it clear that he at any moment could, they will capitulate.

the correct answers are the following

a proxy war which functioned as a training field for wwii

republican democratic goverment

national side, leaded by the fascist general franco

the spanish civil war took place between 1936 and 1939 and was fought after a military coup undertaken on the 17th july 1936 by a group of generals that had seceeded from the spanish republican army, under the leadership of general franco, and who aimed to expel the democractically-elected republican goverment from power.

this war became a proxy war in which european powers tested their military equipment. on one side, urss and mexico supported the left-wing republican spanish goverment, while nazi germany and fascist italy supported the national fascist side.

franco managed to win the war in 1939, with the significant contribution of the foreign military support, and became the dictator of spain until his death in 1975.
