2. HISTORY OF SPAIN
1492
The Christian Kingdoms of Castile and
Aragon conquer the Emirate of Granada,
ending nearly 800 years of Muslim rule
in the south and founding modern Spain
as a united state.
16th-17th centuries
Spanish Empire at its height, with
Spain the predominant European
power. The rise of Protestant states in
northern Europe and the Ottoman
Empire in the Mediterranean begin the
country's gradual decline.
18th century
The War of the Spanish Succession loses Spain
its European possessions outside the Iberian
Peninsula. Bourbon dynasty, originally from
France, centralises the Spanish state, shutting
down many regional autonomous assemblies
and modernising government and the military.
19th century
Napoleonic legacy of political division and
economic dislocation leaves Spain weak and
unstable, with frequent changes of government
and a low-level insurgency by Carlist supporters
of a rival branch of the royal family. All Latin
American colonies win their independence, with
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines in Asia
lost during a disastrous war with the United
States in 1898.3/8/2016 2
3. With its 47,737,941 people, Spain is
the 28th largest country in the world
by population. It is the 52nd largest
country in the world by area with
505,370 square kilometers.
Spain's powerful world empire of the
16th and 17th centuries ultimately
yielded command of the seas to
England. Subsequent failure to
embrace the mercantile and
industrial revolutions caused the
country to fall behind Britain, France,
and Germany in economic and
political power

Spain remained neutral in World War I and II
but suffered through a devastating civil war
(1936-39). A peaceful transition to
democracy following the death of dictator
Francisco FRANCO in 1975, and rapid
economic modernization gave Spain a
dynamic and rapidly growing economy and
made it a global champion of freedom and
human rights.
