Explanation:

• Option a: The Spanish Civil War was a conflict between fascist (Nationalist) and communist - leaning (Republican) forces. Totalitarian governments like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy supported the Nationalists, while some Western democracies had complex stances, and the Soviet Union supported the Republicans. This support from different ideological blocs made it a small - scale European - wide - involved war.
• Option b: Not all European powers sent military support. For example, many Western democracies were reluctant or had limited involvement, so this is incorrect.
• Option c: There was no treaty forced by all European countries to avoid a world war during the Spanish Civil War; in fact, the war was a precursor to tensions that led to World War II, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

a. Totalitarian governments and Western democracies would support different sides in a war between fascism and communism.
