Overview
As of 2023, there are 123 resident embassies in Madrid.[1]
United States
With the onset of the Cold War, Washington saw Franco's anti-communist government as a strategic ally of great importance. Thus, on September 26, 1953, economic and military agreements with the USA were signed, by which the government allows the establishment of US military bases on the peninsula in exchange for economic and diplomatic support. Two years later Spain was allowed to join the UN; in 1959 US President Eisenhower visited Franco, which was the definitive endorsement of the government. Spain did not officially join NATO until 1982; four years later, the government holds a referendum to support staying in the organization. Despite the fact that the US military presence has been progressively reduced, there are still two foreign bases in Spain, of which one is a naval air base (Rota) and the other is an air base (Morón).
Europe
During the Franco era, the government unsuccessfully tried to get Spain to join the EEC, even submitting a formal application for membership in 1962. After the death of Francisco Franco, the various governments would take up the issue of accession to the EEC. The goal was achieved in 1986 and Spain officially joined the European Union.
