A WALK THROUGH
HISTORY
Almudena Corrales Marbán
What are the main characteristics of the
modern states?
In several European countries the modern state emerged. It was a new political
system ruled by authoritarian monarchs.
The king succeeded in their authority over the feudal lords, using various
methods.
a) The creation of a PERMANENT ARMY formed of professional soldiers.
b) Application of COMMON LAWS in all the territories.
c) Organisation of the administration with GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS who
worked for monarchs.
d) The development of DIPLOMACY to defend their interest abroad.
2. THE REIGN OF THE
CATHOLIC MONARCHS
Almudena Corrales Marbán
2.1. INTRODUCTION
The modern state began in Spain with
the reign of Isabel of Castilla and
Fernando of Aragón, who were
known as the Catholic Monarchs.
During their reign, the Iberian
Peninsula began to be governed by
a common policy. However, Castilla
and Aragon continued to be
independent kingdoms and even
kept their own Cortes, laws,
languages, coins and institutions
Almudena Corrales Marbán
2.2. DOMESTIC POLICY –POLÍTICA INTERNA-
• The Catholic Monarchs subjected the nobility and the clergy to royal
authority. They controlled the municipalities increasing the role of the
CORREGIDOR.
• The Holy Brotherhood (La Santa Hermandad) was created to keep order in
rural areas.
• The Catholic Monarchs transformed the Royal Council of Castilla
(Consejo Real de Castilla) and established the Council of Aragón.
• In order to administrate justice they created the Chancillerías or Courts of
Justice.
• They decided to organised a permanent army, which enabled them to conquer
the kingdom of Granada in 1492, incorporate the Canary Islands in 1496,
and Navarra in 1515.
• They also achieved the religious unification of the Peninsula by expelling
the Jews in 1492, and extended the INQUISITION, which already existed in
Aragon, to Castilla.

2.3. FOREIGN POLICY –POLÍTICA EXTERIOR-
• The Catholic Monarchs set up alliances with other European
Kingdoms like the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg dynasty,
England and Portugal. They did this through a carefully planned
MATRIMONIAL POLICY, marrying the sons and daughters to the
princes and princesses of Portugal, the Habsburg Empire and
England.
• During their reign they conquered land in the North of Africa:
Melilla, Oran, Tripoli.
• After a war against France, they recovered the kingdom of Naples,
which had belonged to the Trastámara family, of which, both, Isabel
and Fernando were members. This helped the Aragonese expansion
throughout the Mediterranean.
• They supported geographical expeditions in the Atlantic Ocean.
These initiatives led to the Discovery of America.

3. THE DISCOVERY AND
CONQUEST OF AMERICA
Almudena Corrales Marbán
At the end of the 15th century, Spain and Portugal discovered and occupied
new territories unknown to the Europeans before.

3.1. THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISCOVERIES
Factors that influenced the geographical
discoveries:
• The Turkish presence in the Eastern
Mediterranean made it necessary to look for
other route to Asia.
• Advances in cartography and navigation and
the use of the caravels.
• Travellers’ tales like Marco Polo’s diary
• The opportunity to get rich.

Africa trying to reach India.

Unit 6 The Catholic Monarchs and the Discovery of America

  • 1. UNIT 6: THE CATHOLIC MONARCHS AND THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA 2nd graders Social Studies Department Almudena Corrales Marbán
  • 2. 1. THE EARLY MODERN EUROPE Almudena Corrales Marbán The fall of Constantinople by the Turks (1453) and the Discovery of America(1492) marked a new historical period known as the Early Modern Period (Edad Moderna), which lasted until the year 1789, with the French Revolution.
  • 3. MORE INFO…. Almudena Corrales Marbán http://www.slideshare.net/elbauldelared/a- walk-through-history-35210530 A WALK THROUGH HISTORY
  • 4. Almudena Corrales Marbán What are the main characteristics of the modern states? In several European countries the modern state emerged. It was a new political system ruled by authoritarian monarchs. The king succeeded in their authority over the feudal lords, using various methods. a) The creation of a PERMANENT ARMY formed of professional soldiers. b) Application of COMMON LAWS in all the territories. c) Organisation of the administration with GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS who worked for monarchs. d) The development of DIPLOMACY to defend their interest abroad.
  • 5. 2. THE REIGN OF THE CATHOLIC MONARCHS Almudena Corrales Marbán 2.1. INTRODUCTION The modern state began in Spain with the reign of Isabel of Castilla and Fernando of Aragón, who were known as the Catholic Monarchs. During their reign, the Iberian Peninsula began to be governed by a common policy. However, Castilla and Aragon continued to be independent kingdoms and even kept their own Cortes, laws, languages, coins and institutions
  • 6. Almudena Corrales Marbán 2.2. DOMESTIC POLICY –POLÍTICA INTERNA- • The Catholic Monarchs subjected the nobility and the clergy to royal authority. They controlled the municipalities increasing the role of the CORREGIDOR. • The Holy Brotherhood (La Santa Hermandad) was created to keep order in rural areas. • The Catholic Monarchs transformed the Royal Council of Castilla (Consejo Real de Castilla) and established the Council of Aragón. • In order to administrate justice they created the Chancillerías or Courts of Justice. • They decided to organised a permanent army, which enabled them to conquer the kingdom of Granada in 1492, incorporate the Canary Islands in 1496, and Navarra in 1515. • They also achieved the religious unification of the Peninsula by expelling the Jews in 1492, and extended the INQUISITION, which already existed in Aragon, to Castilla.
  • 7. Almudena Corrales Marbán LA RENDICIÓN DE GRANADA, Francisco Pradilla y Ortiz, 1882. Palacio del Senado, Madrid
  • 8. Almudena Corrales Marbán 2.3. FOREIGN POLICY –POLÍTICA EXTERIOR- • The Catholic Monarchs set up alliances with other European Kingdoms like the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg dynasty, England and Portugal. They did this through a carefully planned MATRIMONIAL POLICY, marrying the sons and daughters to the princes and princesses of Portugal, the Habsburg Empire and England. • During their reign they conquered land in the North of Africa: Melilla, Oran, Tripoli. • After a war against France, they recovered the kingdom of Naples, which had belonged to the Trastámara family, of which, both, Isabel and Fernando were members. This helped the Aragonese expansion throughout the Mediterranean. • They supported geographical expeditions in the Atlantic Ocean. These initiatives led to the Discovery of America.

  • 10. 3. THE DISCOVERY AND CONQUEST OF AMERICA Almudena Corrales Marbán At the end of the 15th century, Spain and Portugal discovered and occupied new territories unknown to the Europeans before. New world Old world
  • 11. Almudena Corrales Marbán 3.1. THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISCOVERIES Factors that influenced the geographical discoveries: • The Turkish presence in the Eastern Mediterranean made it necessary to look for other route to Asia. • Advances in cartography and navigation and the use of the caravels. • Travellers’ tales like Marco Polo’s diary • The opportunity to get rich.
