take germans out and add french in. spanish theologists and writers were always welcomed in germany, from jesuits as suarez and arriaga to ortega y gasset and primo de rivera... they also gave us a hand at taking tunis from roaches and kicking out francophile communists from ii republic. france in exchange allied over and over with protestants and muslims, and french encyclopedists and nationalists always talked in the worse terms they could of spanish culture and writers. just comparing spanish germanophiles such as dali and ortega y gasset; with spanish francophiles as picasso and machado, and you will see from both who got more welcomed...
