History of Spain from 800.000 BC to 1715
Spain has been home to many different peoples and civilizations over hundreds of thousands of years. The earliest human remains in Spain date back 800,000 years ago. Romans conquered the Iberian Peninsula between 218-19 BC and spread their culture and social structures. Muslims ruled Spain for over 700 years beginning in 711 AD, bringing economic and cultural development. In the 15th century, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon united Spain and expelled the Muslims, establishing the Spanish Empire under the Hapsburg dynasty.

Stages of Spain's history
The document outlines the major stages of Spain's history:
1) Prehistory, from the arrival of hominids 1.2 million years ago until writing was introduced by Mediterranean civilizations.
2) The Ancient Era, from the 1st millennium BC until Germanic invasions in the 5th century AD, including Pre-Roman peoples and Roman Hispania.
3) The Middle Ages, from the 5th century to the late 15th century, spanning Germanic invasions, the Visigothic kingdom, Muslim conquest, the Reconquest and consolidation of Castile and Aragon.
4) The Modern Era from the late 15th century to the early 19th century
History of Spain project 1
The document provides a history of Spain from the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century. It discusses the rise of the House of Bourbon to power after the War of Spanish Succession. Under the Bourbons, Spain centralized power and King Charles III enacted social reforms. During the reign of Charles IV, Napoleon occupied Spain and installed his brother Joseph Bonaparte as king.

The war established a constitutional monarchy and Spain's first constitution was drafted and ratified in Cádiz in 1812.
History of spain
The history of Spain spans from prehistoric Iberia through the rise and decline of a global empire to modern Spain as an EU member. After early settlements, the Romans conquered Hispania in the 3rd century BC and ruled for over 700 years, influencing Spanish culture, infrastructure and laws. Muslim forces then invaded the Iberian peninsula in the 8th century and established independent states collectively known as Al-Andalus for over 750 years. Christian kingdoms gradually reconquered the peninsula in a process completed in 1492 with the fall of Granada, establishing the modern nation of Spain.

The Hispanic Monarchy during the 17th century
The 17th century saw the decline of the Hispanic Monarchy under the rule of indolent monarchs. Though most of the empire was maintained through this century, it came at great cost to the population. Monarchs delegated power to favorites ("validos") who often used their positions corruptly. Major crises occurred during this time, including revolts in Catalonia and Portugal in 1640 that led to Portuguese independence by 1668. The inbreeding of the Habsburg dynasty also took its toll, culminating in the disabled rule of Charles II at the end of the 17th century, leaving the empire vulnerable to the ambitions of Louis XIV of France.
The 16th century: Charles I and Philip II's reigns
Charles I inherited a vast empire from his parents in the early 16th century, including territories in Spain, the Netherlands, and Austria. He faced revolts from the Comuneros in Castile and Germanias in Aragon due to his absentee rule from Spain and appointments of Flemish advisers. Charles defeated the revolts and consolidated his rule, focusing on expanding his empire through wars with France and defending Catholicism against the Protestant Reformation. He established new governing councils and professionalized the bureaucracy and military to administer his far-flung realms.
The 18th century: the first Bourbons and Enlightenment
The document summarizes the political, social, and economic developments in Spain during the 18th century, a period defined by the establishment of the Bourbon dynasty and the influence of Enlightenment ideas. Key events included the War of Spanish Succession that resulted in Philip V becoming king, the centralization of power through absolutism and reforms, and Spain's involvement in international conflicts through alliances with France. The Bourbons suppressed regional autonomy outside of the Basque provinces and Navarre through the Nueva Planta decrees. The era saw the consolidation of an absolute monarchy, though Enlightenment thinking faced limitations from the Catholic Church.
Spain: Brief Geography and History
Spain has a varied landscape due to its mountainous terrain and varied weather. Its geography and strategic location have led to cultural diversity from many invading and colonizing peoples throughout history such as the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths, and Muslims. Spain built a vast empire in the 1500s and 1600s after the discovery of America, leading to a golden age of Spanish culture, though it later declined and lost its colonies. After a civil war in the 1930s and dictatorship until the 1970s, Spain transitioned to democracy and joined the European Union in 1986. Today it has a population of 46 million and is a top tourist and fishing country known for its diverse regions, festivals, and cuisine.

Spanish history
The document discusses the history of Romans in the Iberian Peninsula (modern Spain and Portugal) from their initial conquest in 197 BC until their departure in the 5th century AD. It then covers the Reconquista period when Christian kingdoms gradually recaptured territory from Muslim rule between the 8th-15th centuries. Finally, it discusses some major historical events and figures in Spanish history like the Spanish Civil War and discovery of DNA.
Fernando vii
Fernando VII ruled Spain from 1814 to 1833, which can be divided into three periods. In the first absolutist period from 1814 to 1820, Fernando VII had unlimited power and suppressed liberals and the constitution. Growing discontent led to a liberal uprising in 1820, beginning the second liberal period until 1823 when French forces restored absolutism. The third period from 1823 to 1833 was one of decadence as Spain lost its colonies and was weakened by internal conflicts over succession.
The crisis of the Ancien Régime in Spain (1788-1833)
The document summarizes the crisis of the Ancien Regime in Spain from 1808-1833. Key events included:
- Charles IV's ineffective reign led to economic and social problems and growing tensions.
- Spain became increasingly subordinate to French interests under the rule of Manuel Godoy. This led to military defeats and invasion by Napoleon.
- In 1808, popular uprisings and royal abdications allowed Napoleon to take control of Spain and precipitate the collapse of the old system.
The middle ages
This document provides an overview of Spanish history from ancient times to the Middle Ages. It discusses how history is measured in years, decades, centuries, and millennia. It then describes some key periods and events in early Spanish history, including the Roman Empire in Hispania, the fall of the Western Roman Empire and establishment of the Visigothic Kingdom, the Muslim conquest in the 8th century AD and creation of Al-Andalus, and the beginning of the Reconquista by Christian kingdoms starting in the 8th century to take back land from Muslim rule.
Modern spain
Modern Spain saw many political and social changes in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Industrial Revolution led to increased standards of living but also greater inequality. The French Revolution spread liberal ideas opposing absolute monarchy. King Carlos IV's prime minister signed a treaty with Napoleon to divide Portugal, angering Carlos' son Fernando who forced Carlos to abdicate. Napoleon then invaded Spain and made his brother Joseph king, sparking the War of Independence. A new constitution in 1812 established rights and a constitutional monarchy, but King Fernando VII later abolished it and ruled absolutely until liberal revolts. His successor Isabel II faced Carlist Wars and political instability. Society was divided between upper, middle, and working classes as labor movements
Feudalization process and the Late Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula
The document summarizes the development of feudalism in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. It describes how feudal relations spread through Christian territories as they reconquered land from the Muslims. Lords held lands and rights over the people living on them, in exchange for services and loyalty to kings. Society was divided into nobles, the church, and peasants. The economy was largely agricultural for subsistence. Politically, kings in Castile consolidated power while those in Aragon had to respect the rights of each territory. The Crown of Aragon expanded south and into the Mediterranean.
The Authoritarian Monarchy of the Catholic Monarchs (1469-1517)
Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon married in 1469 without papal approval, uniting their royal houses but not their kingdoms. When Isabella's brother died, she became the leading claimant to the throne of Castile, sparking a civil war against her niece Joanna. Isabella and Ferdinand emerged victorious after 4 years of war, gaining recognition of their rule over Castile in the 1479 Treaty of Alcaçovas. As joint monarchs, they centralized power through administrative reforms while respecting the privileges of nobles. Their dynastic union established the basis for the future Spanish monarchy but did not immediately unify their separate kingdoms of Castile and Aragon.
War of succession
The document summarizes the Spanish War of Succession that took place from 1701-1714. When King Carlos II of Spain died without an heir in 1700, it sparked a rivalry between the Habsburg dynasty of Austria and the Bourbon dynasty of France over who would inherit the Spanish throne. This led to a civil war within Spain that then turned into an international war. The Treaty of Utrecht in 1714 ended the war, placing Felipe V of the Bourbon dynasty on the Spanish throne and ceding Spanish territories to Austria and England.
The spanish empire
Carlos I became King of Spain in 1516 and ruled a vast empire that included Spain, territories in America, and the German Empire. He was the first Spanish King of the Habsburg dynasty. Carlos I divided his empire between his brother and son, with his Spanish Empire that included Spain and the Netherlands going to his son Felipe II in 1556.
Spain in the18th and 19th centuries.
This document summarizes important events in late 18th and early 19th century Spain. It describes the reign of King Carlos III who modernized Spain's infrastructure. It then discusses the weak rule of Carlos IV and the influence of Prime Minister Godoy. Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Spain and installation of his brother Jose Bonaparte as king led to the Spanish War of Independence from 1808-1814. The Constitution of 1812 established Spain's first constitutional monarchy and granted rights to its citizens, though it initially excluded women and non-Catholics.
Conquest, colonization and administration of the Indies
The document summarizes the conquest, colonization, and administration of the Indies by European powers during the reigns of Charles V and Philip II. It describes how the Crown organized exploration and conquest through agreements with explorers. It then discusses the key stages of conquest, including the Antilles, Aztec Empire, and Inca Empire. It also outlines the institutions established to rule the Indies like the Casa de Contratación in Seville and Council of the Indies. The exploitation of native peoples through the encomienda and mita systems is also summarized, along with the defense of native rights by Bartolomé de Las Casas.
The spanish empire
The Spanish Empire was created in 1492 with the unification of Castile and Aragon. Over the next three centuries, Spain became the most important colonial power in Europe due to the discovery of the Americas by Columbus and the vast wealth obtained from silver mines in Mexico and Bolivia. However, the many conflicts initiated by King Philip II to maintain Catholicism and undermine France bankrupted Spain by the late 16th century.
The Age of Discovery
The Age of Discovery began in the 15th century as European knowledge of the world was limited. The Portuguese launched expeditions to find trade routes to Asia but instead discovered new territories in Africa and the Americas. Prince Henry the Navigator sponsored Portuguese voyages down the African coast. Christopher Columbus sought to reach Asia by sailing west and instead reached the Bahamas in 1492 while sailing for Spain. His voyages led to ongoing European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
Enlightenment
The Enlightenment brought cultural changes to Europe in the 18th century that valued human intelligence over religion and thought education could improve people's lives, leading to the French Revolution in 1789. Important figures included Carlos III, Newton, and Goya. Carlos III modernized Spanish cities by improving infrastructure like sewage systems and lighting and boosting the economy through projects like new hospitals, museums, and gardens as well as the Puerta de Alcalá gate.
The Indies: conquest, colonization and administration
The document summarizes the voyages of Christopher Columbus and other early explorers to the Americas, as well as the Spanish conquest and colonization of the region over the 15th and 16th centuries. It describes Columbus' four voyages between 1492-1504, during which he explored the Caribbean islands but did not discover the mainland. It then discusses other explorers like Vasco Nunez de Balboa who crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 1513, and Ferdinand Magellan's global circumnavigation from 1519-1522. The summary then outlines the quick Spanish conquests of the Aztec and Inca Empires between 1518-1542, and the institutions and systems established by the Spanish to

Spain after 1492
During the late 15th and early 16th centuries, Ferdinand and Isabella unified Spain and expanded its territories through conquests. Their funding of Columbus's expedition led to the discovery of America, beginning the Spanish Empire. Charles I expanded the empire further, though faced problems from revolts. Philip II made the empire even larger but costly wars impoverished Spain. The Spanish Golden Age between 1560-1680 was a high period for arts and culture. By the 17th century, weak rulers and revolts diminished Spain's power, leading to a succession dispute and war in the early 18th century.
The Spanish Empire
The Romans conquered the Iberian Peninsula beginning in 218 BC, dividing it into Hispania Ulterior and Hispania Citerior. From the 5th to 8th centuries, Germanic tribes invaded while Muslims conquered from the 8th to 15th centuries. The Reconquista by Christian forces began in 722 AD. The Hapsburgs ruled Spain in its Golden Age during the 16th-17th centuries, expanding its global empire through conquistadors like Hernan Cortes, who led the conquest of the Aztec Empire in Mexico. However, costly wars bankrupted Spain, leading to its decline as an independent Catalonia, Naples, and Portugal revolted in the 1640s.
The Spanish Empire
1) In the late 15th century, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile unified Spain through marriage, establishing rule as the "Catholic Monarchs."
2) Under their rule, Spain reconquered territory from the Moors, expelled Jews and Muslims, and financed Christopher Columbus' voyage, establishing Spain as the first global empire.
3) Spanish conquistadors then conquered the Aztec, Inca, and Maya civilizations in the Americas, claiming large territories and importing diseases that devastated indigenous populations. The influx of silver from the Americas funded Spain's powerful military.

Unit 1 modern spain part 2
The Spanish War of Independence began in 1808 when Napoleon decided to conquer Spain and the French army occupied the country. This sparked a revolt in Madrid and led to a war that ended in 1814, though it was also a civil war about who should be the monarch. The war split Spanish government between the French-backed government under Joseph I and the Spanish government under Fernando VII. In 1812, the Spanish government approved the liberal Constitution of Cádiz while in exile in Cádiz. Upon returning to power in 1814, Fernando VII abolished the constitution and restored absolutism. This set the stage for future conflicts known as the Carlist Wars over the line of succession.

Rizal and his time
Rizal was born in 1861 amidst global changes and the rise of Western imperialism. During this time, countries like Italy and Germany unified, while Britain and other European powers colonized much of Asia and Africa. The Philippines was a declining Spanish colony, characterized by corrupt administration, denial of rights to Filipinos, forced labor, and domination by the Catholic friars who owned large estates. These conditions inspired Rizal's later writings advocating for reform.
