Spain's biggest geopolitical challenge was 1) Between 1350-1550s, Venice 2) Between 1550s-1750s, Holland 3) Between 1750s and up to today Britain (and implicitly US as the latter inherited UK) Basically this set of challenges was the one that other nations of the Mediterranean faced - like Greeks who might have not faced the Dutch but who were destroyed by the Venitians (it was Venitians that handed over the region to the Ottomans, a wholy Venitian creation) and then the British/US

The race in the end of the 15th century and the 16th century was between Portugal and Castile (apart the Castilian "union" with Aragon). Divided the world two times, in the west Atlantic and in the Pacific later because of the dispute, already reaching the edges of the world. France and England still out, also Netherlands independent provinces, still out and under Borgongnese and Habsburgs rule. (Britain only in a wide interpretation, for much later times, for France - as continental disputes and atempts in the South Atlantic since 1502, its correct) the rest good.

I'm pretty sure that it was the Franks who were from France who dispelled the Moore's from Spain and not a united Christian Spanish army.

@Alejojojo6 10 лет назад

Actually not. That's a popular belief. The Franks stop them from keeping conquering Europe. But the Moors didn't conquer all of Spain. It was The Atlantic coast area was never subdue, so they reorganized into small kingdoms fighting between each other and with the caliphate. Then by marriage or conquest during several centuries, the kingdoms became 3, Portugal, Aragon and Castille and finally became bigger and bigger since the moors where becoming weaker and weaker. Each kingdom at their own expenses. So some places have been conquered by the moors for only 12 years (Burgos) and others instead, for 800 years (Granada). Others were never conquered like Oviedo or Santander.This Kingdoms were the ones who really stopped the Moors with their continued warfare,

@danivall-llosera9207 9 лет назад

You are right, in some way. It wasn't Christian Spanish army, they were Castillian and Catalan-Aragonese armies which conquered the rest of the península, but we can't talk about a unified Spain by then.

By the way Spain didn´t exist as a country, state, much less nationality ("of diferente nations is enriched" (composed of diferent nations - Os Lusíadas - 1572), it was only a geograhic name were it was also Portugal: the Peninsula, exacley as Scandinavia and Europe (Iberian Peninsula name was not used then, but Spain (Peninsula)) - a region of Europe, as Europe itself was then, for all in the world , and for many, many time after the Catholic Kings, until 1700s, for Europeans - the Peninsula - geography with diferent nations. And you had laws on nationality (letters of naturaleza or natureza in the 16th, 17th centuries etc.) they were Castillian, Aragonese Portuguese, French etc.. Ironicly was Portugal, not properlly by its own will who launched the seeds for that (today) name for its nowdays neighbour, by the union in 1580 (Now it was a king on all states and nations in the Peninsula, i. e. "Spain", but still an informal title or shortenned popular european expression for Phillips II (I), III (II), IV(III) - it was only geographic, not the official tittle. The official was of the list tittle of Crowns and countries involved.

@EmperorTikacuti 10 лет назад

Espana is currently in a severe financial decline because of its allegiance to the ECE for economic interests. Currently, the states of Catalonia and Basque are two major issues against Spanish nationalism are contributing the economy to decline rapidly. If a civil war happens, Espana will face collapse not only itself but its economy and its former colonies in Latin America who invested Spanish interests will experience economic and political disasters extremely. Espana's economic collapse not only effects itself but the ECE will experience like the Soviet Union an era of decline as the largest economy it didn't benefit the global economy entirely.

@vinm300 6 лет назад

0.44 "Unified Spain" is a bit misleading. Isabella (Castile) & Ferdinand (Aragon) married but each Kingdom remained separate : with it's own parliament (Cortes) ,privileges and laws. The American Empire was Castilian the Aragonese weren't welcome. Trade was monopolised by Seville (Barcelona didn't get a look in). Spain was one country but with competing Kingdoms. The Catalonia rebellion was largely due to Madrid believing they had a taxable 1million population when it was actually 350K. So Philip IV was always making unreasonable demands and believed they were holding out on him. Also, Catalonia had been very wealthy in the 15thC but had run foul of Genoa. Plague devastated Catalonia much more than in Castile (hence pop fall).

@REX-kb5cg 6 лет назад

What causes Spain's disunity is not that it has lots of mountains. The reason for this is that it wasn't unified well. Catalonia is older than Spain as well as the Basque ethnic group, which is preindoeuropean as its own language. The biggest old kingdom of Spain, called Castile didn't want a diverse unification of Spain but a domination of the other Spaniards by imposing their language and culture. This Castilian disrespect for diversity caused this 400-year-old problem that is still up nowadays. Spain wasn't meant to be centralized, but a French dinasty got the Throne of Spain and messed up everything. The Habsburgs had learnt how to rule Spain and those Frenchies came here imposing absolutism which is the worst cancer we could get.

@jorgewu6225 6 лет назад

Yet France managed to unify the country through forcibly crushing regional cultures and identities. Seems to me that if you want a centralized country you have to concentrate all the resources and wealth in the capital (see how well-off Paris is compared to other big cities in France), or you have to devolve more power to the regions in order to appease separatists. Spain is not as powerful as France so it failed miserably to centralize the country

John Carter Yup, history caused all this territorial problems we have in Spain nowadays not the fucking mountains that separate us (he might think we live in caves or something and we can't build tunnels to communicate with each other). The worst thing is he doesn't even know about geography, which is the whole point of this video.

Welcome Catalonia. I hope you're wish becomes true. And also, ask Andorra if they wanna join :P They speak Catalan if I'm not entirely wrong.

Andorra would rather remain independent so as to stay as a rich tax heaven, instead of being dragged down by poor Catalonia, just like Pyrénées-Orientales wants to stay in France.
