Well, there aren't really, it's rather hard to represent internal strife in-game, aside from racking up dissent, which is rather pointless all things considered.
I'm just telling a story, Anonymous
Very well, Herr Krüger, though you might want to watch those swastikas... 'Watch' is a figure of speech by the way. It means 'get rid of them!'

Lol, i hadn't even thought about that. Hmmm, i'll find a more "suitable" picture.
You could just edit the picture using Paint... Ideally, white out the swastika and replace it with a smiley face!

The Nationalists under Major Tella take Huelva in an attempt to break the deadlock around Sevilla; Republican troops successfully create a cordon around the city, no more Nationalist gains are made in the region for the time being. Female Republican activist Leiva leads a string of daring Commando raids behind Rebel lines, risking her life on several occassions.
August 14
Nationalist forces under Colonel Juan Yagüe is flown to Valladolid to take part in the Nationalist offensive aimed at Salamanca. The Republican commander, Colonel Puigdendolas commands a rearguard operation as the Rebels make gains in the region, before being halted several miles north of Salamanca itself. For the first time in the war, Madrid is seriously threatened.
Fighting alongside the Nationalists are the so-called "moros" (Moors), Moroccan volunteers, for whom the civil war was a chance at a sort of revenge for the Spain's colonial occupation of their country. Fighting, ironically, on the side of the colonialists against the common people of Spain.
August 16
The Republican Army land on the coast of Majorca, under heavy bombardment by Italian planes. Captain Alberto Bayo establishes a small base on the coast.
August 19
The suburb of San Pablo in Sevilla falls to Rebel forces, the Spanish Legion and supporting Italian forces beat off several successive Republican counter-attacks.
"German Communists fighting for the survival of the Spanish Republic, these men are returning from the fighting for Sevilla."
August 24
Italy and Germany join officially the Non-Intervention agreement. This gives them the possibility to participate in the international blockade of Spain: Italian and German warships are now allowed to stay in Spanish territorial waters and prevent other ships from reaching the Spanish shore. The French government increases the amount of aid reaching the government by land-routes across the border with Spain in response to the naval blockade.

The Republican forces under Captain Alberto Bayo retreat from Majorca. After establishing a small base on the shore of Majorca two weeks earlier, the Republican troops could not make it to the inner area of the island. Under permanent attack by enemy land and air forces, the retreat was more of a flight, leaving behind many men, weapons and valuable material.

Just read the whole thing, excellent story. Really kept me reading. Please don't stop
France already has two enemies nearby, but with the current French policy, Britain, the only relyable French ally so far, might be turned into yet another enemy.
Now three enemies is just too much for France, especially given that historically it took just one of them to decisively beat the French army.
What does France have to gain from this policy? Maybe a friendly government in Spain, but the war-weary Spanish army and its crippled industry will not be able to make up for the loss of British support in the upcomming war against the Axis. The Spanish won't be able to do much,
and the Soviets will probably be unwilling to do much, unless France will turn radical communist and Stalin's puppet (which is unlikely).
Unfortunately, it looks like history will not look upon Bloom nicely if he keeps behaving like that.
