The major beneficiaries of the Second Republic were the Basques, Catalonians, and Valencians who finally able to assert their own autonomy and develop their own cultures. Additionally, there was a general breakdown of the nobility and this allowed the lower classes to begin to acquire property as opposed to living often as sharecroppers.
Spain was a republic at one time.
Right before World War II started, General Franco had just concluded the overthrow of the Second Republic of Spain and replaced it with the Fascist Francoist Spanish State. Previous to the Second Republic, Spain was consistently a monarchy since its founding in 1492 with the exception of the brief period in the early 1900s when the First Republic existed.
In the 1930s, Spain had a parliamentary democracy. It was called the Second Republic. The Second Republic was put in jeopardy by the Spanish Civil War in 1936-1939 and overthrown at the wars end by the Nationalists under Franco who established a Fascist State.
The people of Cuba benefited. The people of Puerto Rico benefited. The people of Guam benefited. The people of the Philippines benefited. The people of the United States benefited.

Spain was ruled by the Kingdom of Spain from 1874 until 1931. This was the second Borbon restoration. That government was followed by the Second Spanish Republic from 1931 t0 1939. The Second Republic ruled part of Spain from 1936 until 1939, during the civil war, while the rest was ruled by the Francoist regime of General Francisco Franco. Finally, Franco ruled all of Spain as a dictator from the end of the civil war in 1939 until his death in November 1975.
Spain had two main governments in that time period. From 1918-1931, Spain was a barely-constrained consitutional monarchy. From 1931-1936, Spain was governed by the Second Republic. From 1936-1939, Spain was in the midst of civil war. Parts of the country (especially the western coast) were controlled by the Second Republic. Other parts (especially northern Morocco) were controlled by the Francoists and Nationalists. The latter group emerged victorious in 1939.
The Prime Minister at the time was Manuel Azana, who was the leader of the Second Spanish Republic.
