Nomadic hunter-gatherer groups lived in caves and huts. Later, during the Neolithic period, people settled into tribes and began farming and raising animals. Metals like copper, bronze and iron were introduced during the Metal Ages. Pre-Roman Spain was inhabited by Iberian tribes in the east and south and Celtic tribes in the north and center who mixed to form the Celtiberians. The Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians established coastal colonies to trade for metals. The Romans conquered Spain between 218 BC
The document summarizes the Roman occupation and influence over Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula, which includes modern Spain and Portugal) from 218 BC to the 5th century AD. It describes how the Romans divided Hispania into three provinces after defeating the Carthaginians in the Punic Wars. Under Roman rule, Hispania experienced economic growth and cultural Romanization as the Latin language and Roman customs spread. Several future Roman emperors such as Trajan came from Hispania. However, the region began to decline economically in the 3rd century due to Germanic invasions and attacks from the Franks.
The document provides information on the various groups that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula prior to the Roman conquest, including the Tartessians, Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians. It then discusses how the Romans conquered the region through the Punic Wars against the Carthaginians, establishing control over Hispania. Finally, it briefly touches on how the Romans introduced Romanization, spreading their language, customs, and culture throughout the newly conquered territory.
The document discusses the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire between 1450-1800. It began with the House of Habsburg gaining power over Spain and other European lands in the 15th-16th centuries. Under Habsburg rule, Spain became the most powerful state in Europe through its naval exploration and military conquests across Europe, America, and North Africa. However, years of war, economic troubles, and disease led to the decline of the Spanish Empire by the 1700s. The Habsburg line died out and control of Spain was passed to the French Bourbon dynasty.
Spain is located in southwestern Europe and comprises most of the Iberian Peninsula. Its geography is diverse, containing mountainous regions, coastal plains, and inland plateaus. The climate also varies significantly from region to region. Historically, Spain established a vast colonial empire beginning in the 15th century and became one of the world's leading economic and military powers under the Habsburg monarchy. However, the country entered a period of decline in the 17th century following several military defeats. Today, Spain has a largely service-based economy and is a member of the European Union.
Spain is located in southwestern Europe and is a peninsula almost entirely surrounded by water, with coastlines on the Mediterranean Sea, Cantabric Sea, and Atlantic Ocean. Spain has 17 autonomous communities and two autonomous cities, Madrid is the capital. Spanish culture has been influenced by many groups including Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, tribes from northern Europe, Jews, and Arabs over 800 years of Arab rule. Today, Spanish is spoken around the world due to Spanish colonization of the Americas beginning in 1492. Some iconic aspects of Spanish culture include foods like paella and gazpacho, artists like Velázquez, Picasso and Dalí, authors like Cervantes who

The document discusses the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire between 1450-1800. It describes how the Spanish Empire grew powerful under the Habsburg dynasty, spreading Christianity across its global colonial holdings. However, various factors later contributed to the decline of the Spanish Empire, including depleted populations in the Americas, the expulsion of Jews and Muslims, pirate raids, and costly wars in Europe.
The document discusses the history and evolution of the Romance languages from Latin. It notes that the five most widely spoken Romance languages are Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and Romanian. The Romance languages evolved from Latin between the 6th and 9th centuries and today have over 800 million native speakers worldwide.

Decebalus was the last king of Dacia (present-day Romania), who fought three wars against the Roman Empire in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD. He had early success against Domitian, securing independence for Dacia. However, under Emperor Trajan, the Roman armies invaded and defeated Dacia. Decebalus remained as a client king but continued asserting independence, leading to a final overwhelming Roman invasion in 105 AD that destroyed the Dacian capital and absorbed the region into the Roman Empire. Decebalus committed suicide rather than be captured.
Customs around the world celebrate Easter in unique ways. In Russia, butter is shaped into lambs for the Easter meal. In France, over 4,500 eggs are used to make a massive omelette serving over 1,000 people. In Hungary, women dress up and get splashed with water on Easter Sunday. In the Philippines, some Catholics practice self-crucifixion and flagellation, though the church discourages it. On Corfu, Greece, people throw pots and pans from their windows on Holy Saturday. In Jerusalem, people walk the path Jesus took to the cross on Good Friday and attend services at Garden Tomb on Easter Sunday.

2. BASICS
• Spain, officially the Kingdom of Spain,is a country in Southwestern
Europe with some pockets of Spanish territory across the Strait of
Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean.Its continental European territory is
situated on the Iberian Peninsula. Its territory also includes two
archipelagoes: the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, and
the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea. The
African enclaves of Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera
make Spain the only European country to have a physical border with
an African country (Morocco). Several small islands in the Alboran
Sea are also part of Spanish territory. The country's mainland is
bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a
small land boundary with Gibraltar; to the north and northeast
by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the west and
northwest by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.
3. BASICS
• With an area of 505,990 km2 (195,360 sq mi), Spain is the
largest country in Southern Europe, the second-largest
country in Western Europe, and the European Union, and is
the fourth-largest country by area on the European continent.
With a population exceeding 46 million, Spain is the sixth-
most populous country in Europe, and the fifth-most
populous country in the European Union. Spain's capital and
largest city is Madrid; other major urban
areas include Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza, Málaga a
nd Bilbao.
4. BASICS
• Modern humans first arrived in the Iberian
Peninsula around 35,000 years
ago. Iberian cultures along with
ancient Phoenician, Greek, Celtic and Carthagi
nian settlements developed on the peninsula
until it came under Roman rule around 200
BCE, after which the region was
named Hispania, based on the earlier
Phoenician name Sp(a)n or Spania.
5. BASICS
• At the end of the Western Roman Empire the Germanic
tribal confederations migrated from Central Europe,
invaded the Iberian peninsula and established
relatively independent realms in its western provinces,
including the Suebi, Alans and Vandals. Eventually,
the Visigoths would forcibly integrate all remaining
independent territories in the peninsula, including
the Byzantine province of Spania, into the Visigothic
Kingdom, which more or less unified politically,
ecclesiastically and legally all the former Roman
provinces or successor kingdoms of what was then
documented as Hispania.
6. BASICS
• The origins of the Roman name Hispania, from which the modern
name España was derived, are uncertain due to inadequate evidence,
although it is documented that the Phoenicians and Carthaginians referred to
the region as Spania, therefore the most widely accepted etymology is
a Semitic-Phoenician one. Down the centuries there have been a number of
accounts and hypotheses:
• The Renaissance scholar Antonio de Nebrija proposed that the
word Hispania evolved from the Iberian word Hispalis, meaning "city of the
western world".
• Jesús Luis Cunchillos argues that the root of the term span is
the Phoenician word spy, meaning "to forge metals". Therefore, i-spn-
ya would mean "the land where metals are forged". It may be a derivation of
the Phoenician I-Shpania, meaning "island of rabbits", "land of rabbits" or
"edge", a reference to Spain's location at the end of the Mediterranean;
Roman coins struck in the region from the reign of Hadrian show a female
figure with a rabbit at her feet, and Strabo called it the "land of the rabbits".
The word in question (compare modern Hebrew Shafan) actually means
"Hyrax", possibly due to Phoenicians confusing the two animals.
7. BASICS
• Hispania may derive from the poetic use of the term Hesperia, reflecting
the Hellenic perception of Italy as a "western land" or "land of the setting sun"
(Hesperia, Ἑσπερία in Hellenic) and Spain, being still further west, as Hesperia
ultima.
• There is the claim that "Hispania" derives from the Basque word Ezpanna meaning
"edge" or "border", another reference to the fact that the Iberian Peninsula
constitutes the southwest corner of the European continent.
• Two 15th-century Spanish Jewish scholars, Don Isaac Abravanel and Solomon ibn
Verga, gave an explanation now considered folkloric. Both men wrote in two
different published works that the first Jews to reach Spain were brought by ship
by Phiros who was confederate with the king of Babylon when he laid siege to
Jerusalem. Phiros was a Grecian by birth, but who had been given a kingdom in
Spain. Phiros became related by marriage to Espan, the nephew of king Heracles,
who also ruled over a kingdom in Spain. Heracles later renounced his throne in
preference for his native Greece, leaving his kingdom to his nephew, Espan, from
whom the country of España (Spain) took its name. Based upon their testimonies,
this eponym would have already been in use in Spain by c. 350 BCE.
8. HISTORY
• Archaeological research at Atapuerca indicates the Iberian
Peninsula was populated by hominids 1.2 million years
ago. In Atapuerca fossils have been found of the earliest
known hominins in Europe, the Homo antecessor. Modern
humans first arrived in Iberia, from the north on foot, about
35,000 years ago. The best known artefacts of these
prehistoric human settlements are the famous paintings in
the Altamira cave of Cantabria in northern Iberia, which
were created from 35,600 to 13,500 BCE by Cro-
Magnon. Archaeological and genetic evidence suggests that
the Iberian Peninsula acted as one of several major refugia
from which northern Europe was repopulated following the
end of the last ice age.
9. HISTORY
• The largest groups inhabiting the Iberian Peninsula before the
Roman conquest were the Iberians and the Celts. The Iberians
inhabited the Mediterranean side of the peninsula, from the
northeast to the southeast. The Celts inhabited much of the inner
and Atlantic sides of the peninsula, from the northwest to the
southwest. Basques occupied the western area of the Pyrenees
mountain range and adjacent areas, the Phoenician-
influenced Tartessians culture flourished in the southwest and
the Lusitanians and Vettones occupied areas in the central west. A
number of cities were founded along the coast by Phoenicians, and
trading outposts and colonies were established by Hellenics in the
East. Eventually, Phoenician-Carthaginians expanded inland towards
the meseta; however, due to the bellicose inland tribes, the
Carthaginians got settled in the coasts of the Iberian Peninsula.
10. HISTORY
• During the Second Punic War, roughly between 210 and 205 BC the
expanding Roman Republic captured Carthaginian trading colonies along
the Mediterranean coast. Although it took the Romans nearly two
centuries to complete the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, they retained
control of it for over six centuries. Roman rule was bound together by law,
language, and the Roman road.
• The cultures of the Celtic and Iberian populations were
gradually Romanised (Latinised) at different rates depending on what part
of Hispania they lived in, with local leaders being admitted into the Roman
aristocratic class.Hispania served as a granary for the Roman market, and
its harbours exported gold, wool, olive oil, and wine. Agricultural
production increased with the introduction of irrigation projects, some of
which remain in use. Emperors Hadrian, Trajan, Theodosius I, and the
philosopher Seneca were born in Hispania. Christianity was introduced
into Hispania in the 1st century AD and it became popular in the cities in
the 2nd century AD. Most of Spain's present languages and religion, and
the basis of its laws, originate from this period.
11. HISTORY
• The weakening of the Western Roman Empire's jurisdiction in
Hispania began in 409, when the Germanic Suebi and Vandals,
together with the Sarmatian Alans entered the peninsula at the
invitation of a Roman usurper. These tribes had crossed the Rhine in
early 407 and ravaged Gaul. The Suebi established a kingdom in
what is today modern Galicia and northern Portugal whereas the
Vandals established themselves in southern Spain by 420 before
crossing over to North Africa in 429 and taking Carthage in 439. As
the western empire disintegrated, the social and economic base
became greatly simplified: but even in modified form, the successor
regimes maintained many of the institutions and laws of the late
empire, including Christianity and assimilation to the evolving.
