Which were the two opposing parties of the Spanish Revolution?

The Spanish Revolution and Civil War pitted the left-wing Republican side, which included socialists, against the right-wing Nationalists, which included fascists. Thus, “the ruling socialists and the fascists” best describes the two opposing parties. Franco led the Nationalists, but Hitler’s and Mussolini’s parties were not the two sides in Spain.
