The Spanish empire (ていこく, west of Spain: Imperio Español) is Spain and generic names such as the colony, soil. A Spanish kingdom formed by the merger of Castilia kingdom and the Aragon kingdom destroys ナスル dynasty Granada kingdom and, in after 1492 when it swept away Islam power from the Iberian Peninsula, is defeated by American-Spanish War in 1898 and points to the period before losing almost all foreign countries colonies. The name of "the empire" comes from the very large rule domain and is unrelated to monarch (the emperor). Furthermore, 1868 through 1874 is the time of a nominal position and the republican form of government.

I am called (Siglo de Oro) among other things in a golden century at the time when Spain prospered most in history for approximately 80 years from the mid-16th century to the early 17th century. When Carlos I of the Spanish monarch succeeded to the throne to Emperor of Holy Roman Empire, I had the very large territory except the own country in Europe, and the state of the prosperity was modified with "a solar country not to set" in.

Summary

It was the Iberian Peninsula that was in division state for a long time, but the Spanish kingdom which achieved unification with both Catholic King let Granada fall in 1492 and destroyed ナスル morning and completed Reconquista. Spain saves the strength of a nation, and king Carlos I succeeds to the throne as the holy caesar curl fifth in 1519 and comes to greet the heyday of the House of Hapsburg afterwards.

In this time, Spain got a new territory by "the discovery of the American continent" and was full of the prosperity nationally. I destroyed Inca Empire in an Aztec kingdom in 1532 in 1521, and, in the American continent, the most became the colony of Spain.

"Empire" Spain greeted the golden age during the reign of the Felipe second. Spanish King came to serve as the Portuguese King from 1580 through 1640 and acquired the Portuguese foreign countries colony that Central and South America and the Asia Africa coast were dotted with. In addition, I assumed Netherlands or south Italy (Sicily kingdom, Naples kingdom) soil in Europe, and it was in the large country which governed a colony and the very large territory which I put together in before such as the Philippines. However, the reign is full of difficulties; such as the war, Reformation in Italy, the first Vienna siege was threatened, and it showing signs of declining including the defeat by sea fight of Prebeza, the Almada sea fight has begun to appear. When a Spanish invincible armada was defeated by the English navy by Almada sea fight of 1588, the decline of Spain became remarkable. England enhanced the strength of a nation rapidly after this and developed in history to British Empire which was the greatest empire in the late 17th century.

Later Spain follows a course of the decline, and Portugal becomes independent in 1640 (Restoration of Imperial Rule war in Portugal). Netherlands Federal Republic (the Netherlands) secures independence as a result of war in 80, too. Furthermore, I intervened in Thirty Years' War, but I was defeated, and complaints concluded the Pyrenees treaty of the treaty with France in 1659 and invited the end in a gold century in Spain. I closed a curtain in a gold century, but the colony of Spain continued growing up and succeeded in continuing maintaining the position as the colony empire which continued until the 19th century.

The Spain House of Hapsburg died out at the end of 17th century, and issue of demise のこじれから Spain succession war began. This war handed over Gibraltar and Florida to the U.K. as for 12 years and postwar processing, and the Spanish influence decreased remarkably. Although interest was accomplished in uniformity in the times of the Carlos third (the reign: for from 1759 to 1788), I will play second fiddle to growing power such as the U.K., France, the Netherlands. Still the progress in the American War of Independence of Spain will let a Spaniard hold the impression that regained the vigor as the great power of Spain. However, as a result, it was the opportunity when I switched it by independence of the United States of America in the new world from colonial rule by Spain to the times of the de-colonization. Ironically, most of the former colony that intended the independence from the Spanish own country come to explore the new nation model that referred to the United States of America where Spain ever helped independence.

Invasion (the Napoleonic Wars) of the French empire leading Napoleon Bonaparte and Spain including an usurption and an independence war to resist in Spain, the temporary abolition of the Imperial rule by the re-ego revolution in 1820 and the substantial independence to occur successively of the Spain territory India colony under the cover of the previous confusion will invite the thorny history afterwards.

Spain carried out the restoration of Imperial rule after revolution, Spanish first Kazumasa establishment of 1873 in 1874 in Spanish September of 1868, but I was defeated by the United States of America by the American-Spanish War that broke out in 1898 and lost almost all of the foreign countries colony where there remained it by Philippines cession to rice, the Micronesia archipelago division by U.S. Germany Cuban independence, Puerto Rico cession to the United States of America by the Paris Convention in the Pacific region in the Caribbean sea area.

By the end of 19th century, as for the inheritance of former "world empire" Spain, the most have been lost in this way. After this, Spain will explore maintenance, the expansion of the colony (Spanish Sahara) of the North Africa which was slightly left through a tie-up with France which it is a longtime neighboring country, and is a sworn friend.

However, Spanish Sahara was abandoned by Madrid agreement of 1975, too.
