During the years Franco was in Morocco, Spanish society had experienced major economic and political upheavals. Movements for regional autonomy had emerged in the Basque Country and Catalonia, and were seriously undermining the authority of the central government in Madrid. Spain's uneven progress in industrialization and the development of a capitalist economy had unleashed a variety of economic and social problems. In the cities, an increasingly restless working class had begun rebelling against harsh living conditions and exploitation by factory owners and businesspeople. In the countryside, the peasantry had begun struggling against an oppressive, semifeudal economic system that locked most peasants into a system of extreme poverty.

Franco has now modified the surface properties of the polypropylene to make it as water-repellent as Teflon. This allows the CO2 to selectively pass through the membrane and be absorbed on the other side by a widely available solvent (20–30% methylethanolamine dissolved in water).

Franco Dragone returned, albeit reluctantly. He was willing to return only if he had full creative control of the show's environment. One of the first things that he did was to remove the curtain that separates the artist from the audience. His reasoning was that this would make the artists and the audience both feel part of a larger show. Whereas in a traditional circus the artist could go past the curtain and drop his role, Dragone had created an environment where the artist had to remain in character for the full length of the production.[4]

By the spring of 1936 Franco had aligned himself with a group of right-wing military conspirators who were becoming increasingly anxious to overthrow the government. The new left-wing administration knew about Franco's political leanings and moved to isolate him from other conspirators. They transferred Franco to the distant Canary Islands, where he remained until the outbreak of the rebellion in July. Franco did not fully commit himself to the military rebellion until he was convinced of its success. Just days before it was scheduled to begin, he joined the conspirators. On July 19 he flew to Tétouan, Morocco, to command the Army of Africa, Spanish troops considered the most highly trained and best equipped of the rebel forces.

Franco was devastated by the fall of the monarchy on April 14, 1931. The arrival of the antimilitarist Second Republic saw the closure of the Academy. After his bitter farewell speech, the Minister of War, Manuel Azaña, left him for eight months without a posting. Despite Franco's resentment, his merits saw Azaña, in February 1932, make him Military Commander first of La Coruña and then of the Balearic Islands. Under more right-wing governments, Franco again found preferment, being promoted to Major General on March 27, 1934 and, in October 1934, entrusted with the repression of a leftist insurrection in the northern mining valleys of Asturias. He was rewarded in February 1935 by being made commander-in-chief of the Spanish armed forces in Morocco, and in May, chief of general staff.
