Background :
The History of Spain spans the period from Prehistoric Iberia, through the rise and fall of the first global empire, to Spain's current position as a member of the European Union.Modern humans entered the Iberian Peninsula more than 35,000 years ago. Waves of invaders and colonizers followed over the millennia, including the Celts, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks and Romans. Roman control was followed by the Visigoths, and in 711, a Berber and Arab army (known as Moors, moros, by the Spanish), invaded and nearly conquered the entire peninsula. During the next 750 years, independent Muslim states were established, and the entire area of Muslim control became known as Al-Andalus. Meanwhile the small Christian kingdoms in the north began the long and slow recovery of the peninsula by Christian forces, a process called the Reconquista, which was concluded in 1492 with the fall of Granada. 1492 also saw the creation of the Kingdom of Spain following the unification of the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon,[1] as well as the first voyage of Christopher Columbus to the New World, beginning the development of the Spanish Empire. The Inquisition was established and Jews and Muslims who refused to convert were expelled from the country.In the next three centuries Spain was the most important colonial power in the world. It was the most powerful state in Europe during the 16th and first half of the 17th centuries, and the leading global power. Spanish literature and fine arts, scholarship and philosophy flourished during this time. Spain established a vast empire in the Americas, stretching from California to Patagonia, and colonies in the western Pacific. Financed in part by the riches pouring in from its colonies, Spain became embroiled in the religiously-charged wars and intrigues of Europe, including.
