    The history of Spain is amazing, unique, and very fascinating. I do think you could have included a little more of the events going on in Spanish America. The history surrounding the independence of continental Spanish America is very extense and interesting as well. It is part of the history of Spain after all. One fact that could be of interest was the Plan in New Spain to bring Fernando VII to the continent or even his brother or another member of a royal house of Europe but the authoritarian nature of Fernando prevented this from happening and that is why Agustin Iturbide of Agustin I became emperor.

      Also the Cubans and Puerto Ricans had issues with Spain because Spain wanted to officially prohibit the african slave trade but the influence of the Southern United States was making them want to join the USA if that happened. But have in mind that was only the elite of Cuba. The common cubans where loyal to Spain as a country. It was the USA and Cuban elites that wanted the independance of Cuba.

      There is a rose legend about independence. They are very dark without the idealisation Of the independence.
      And we have to acknowledge that the reason for independence was the void of power caused by Napoleon invasión. The provinces here did not wanted Joseph I so they rebelled and declare autonomy, criollo after this, declare independence because they wanted to control the provinces in their own benefits, but it is a error to think this movement was promoted by everyone, this was just made by a parte of elite class.
      And the movement lack of popular support because Bolivar used English support, and that people was hated a lot in America because English were the eternal enemy of Spain and by logic, enemies of Americans too.
      In this war we lost s lot of people, cities, towns, ports, farms, industries were destroyed, all the money from real haciendas was robbed by libertadores and British. We got huge debts with UK, the comercial block that was the Spanish empire here disappeared and Local artisans and rich investers could not match the Europeans market and much less now with all these countries destroyed.
      Indigenous that was " liberated" their lands were expropiated by the libertadores of independence because they were equal to everyone so indigenous ndid not need all these laws protecting their lands.
      And all our countries fall into what we did not have here: revolutions, civil wars for years.
      All thanks to there's shitty government and shitty libertadores. They did not fight for freedom but their own benefits and for glory.
      Now Spain is blame by by all their errors and say Spain did never invested in these provinces.

      The Spanish Empire was already in decadence before the conflict with Napoleon. There were already problems within the Iberian peninsula and America; Napoleon merely revealed how deep these issues were. Additionally, corruption was already present throughout the Empire, a condition that is present even in modern Spain.
      I have yet to find a single reputable historian who believes the various independence movements in Hispanic America were "promoted by everyone"; it is of public domain that there were also Royalist forces that were also part of the elite class of that time, but they _lost_ the wars of independence. And if even part of the Establishment were the only ones that wanted and promoted attaining independence from Spain, it would not have been possible without the support of the people; especially when taking into consideration the size of the territories in America emancipated from Spain, and the overall short time it took to achieve it (approximately ten years on average per country).
      This pink legend about the various independence movements in America is just part of the rhetorical dynamics of the fanatical Hispanists to lick their wounds. If you believe that's not the case, please share significant academic sources of American (the Continent) authors and historians that believe the independence process (and posterior effects) of Hispanic America was pure bliss. Idealization is part of the human condition, and Spain-centric Hispanists do not escape to that premise.

      @@xolotlmexihcah4671 la decadencia española comenzó en plenas guerras napoleónicas al verse estos envueltos en ellas sin poder desligarse o aislarse debido a que no eran una isla, sino vecinos de la Francia revolucionaria.
      En la clase elitista española en las Américas había un interés por destruir el proteccionismo en el mercado, este proteccionismo favorecía al productor local y las industrias propias del imperio que eran de particulares y del Reino. Estas para prosperar no debían tener competencia de industrias foráneas como la británica, francesa o de cualquier índole. A los criollos poco lew importaba eso sino acceder a los rubros aún cuando fuera una catástrofe para el mercado. También querían adueñarse del gobierno por completo y ellos poner las pautas a como debían funcionar.
      Los británicos lo que hicieron fue aprovechar la situación de anarquía y apoyar las revueltas, saquear las haciendas, llevarse todo el oro y la plata y dar empréstitos altísimos con grandes intereses, endeudar todos los países recien nacidos en el concierto internacional, hacerlos productos de las materias primas de l reino unido, y destruir su mercado debido al libre comercio que empobrecido al ciudadano común.
      Las independencias tuvieron catastróficas consecuencias, que fueron más de 500 mil muertos, pueblos, ciudades, campos, fincas, hatos, astilleros, industrias destruidas. Universidad, colegios, miseria, anarquía y destrucción. Caos social y político que continúa a sol de hoy. Ese es el legado e la indeodencia, caos desde que España se fue.

    Fun fact: The phrase Guerilla Warfare comes from the Spanish word Guerrilla which means small war. It was the tactic of dividing large military formations into smaller groups which would use surprise and stealth to attack supply lines and raid French formations from unexpected sides. Spaniards have been successfully using "Guerilla" in their mountainous terrain since they were invaded by Rome 2000 years earlier.

    The Spanish Empire lasted for 300 years, its collapse in c.1810, it was due to a ruling class that fell into Napoleon’s trap; when the French occupied Spain and installed a puppet king, the Spanish in both sides of the Atlantic revolted, leading to a civil war, which in the Americas led to independence.
    Futhermore These huge quantities of silver first encouraged the Spanish monarchy to take out huge debts, always with the belief that it would be able to pay back the debts in a timely manner through silver shipments. Unfortunately, that’s an awful way to run a government, as silver shipments can be quite irregular.

    Something important was missing from the perliferous bonanza of the island of Cubagua sighted in 1498 by Christopher Columbus together with the islands of Coche and Margarita, present-day Venezuela. The local indigenous people of the Guakeri ethnic group had begun to exploit the abundant pearl oyster deposits as expert divers. The pearls they used as ornaments were exchanged for glasses and trinkets worn by the crew of Columbus sheeps. Shortly after, these Cubagua pearls became one of the most valuable resources of the incipient Spanish Empire in the Americas, which partly financed the conquest of Mexico and Peru.

And instead bad ass Indigenous leaders like Benito Juarez who defeated his opposition during their civil war( against former royalistas) as well as the French, Spanish, and parts of the British empire while the US was dealing with the CSA... If they both lost ground it would have staged possibly the first full European empire attack on two nations outside of Europe(to retake claimed European empire land), Benito and his Army are the reason we celebrate "Cinco de Mayo" in the United States (which many Latins hate for some reason💀), also Benito Mussolini's father named him after Benito Juarez the Zapotec warrior(although not sure if that is a good thing granted he was a fascist dictator according to historians).

The two territories had a Western culture, with universities, modern hospitals, cathedrals, schools, European weapons, ships. The British, French and Dutch empires retain their possessions in Africa, India, Indonesia or Angola and Portuguese Mozambique, because those lands are not civilized. It is very difficult for them to become independent before WW2, because they live in very poorly developed tribal regimes. Australia and Canada had a very British population, and only 3 or 4 million inhabitants in 1900, and could not dream of independence. But shortly after they began to propose reforms along those lines, and the UK had to give in, amicably, to avoid problems. The proof is that the British empire shrank 144 times in 20 years in the 20th century.

      New Orleans was largely built by the Spanish--why its historic district resembles other Mexican coastal cities along the Gulf of Mexico. In fact what is today Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, etc. were at various times in Spanish hands, as part of the viceroyalty of New Spain, all administered from its capital in Mexico City. It was captains and generals and footsoldiers from New Spain that helped the American Revolutionaries in the south drive off the British on land and sea.
      Spain also established posts/forts all the way to Alaska, at one point extending New Spains territory to Alaska. However the inability to defend it or colonize it from far away allowed the Russians and British to move in and make claims. Eventually through treaties, Spain ceded most of this area to the British.

Before the year 1600, Spain had carried out more than 50 expeditions in North American territory, such as that of Hernando de Soto or that of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado. Those lands were claimed and explored with the legality of the Tordesillas Treaty of 1494. Also the Colorado Canyon, Vancouver (San Miguel) and great plains. The French settled there due to the impossibility of massively colonizing the territory. They lost Canada in the war against the British, and they gave Louisiana to Spain, because Spain could defend it.

    King Carlos III. had a very funny looking face. Imagine you had been brought before him, back then, without knowing what he looks like and then you get to see him... for me, that would have probably been a "life of brian" moment.

      Well, Charles III was a great king, not Benny Hill. He was king of Naples, first. He built the palace of Caserta, in Italy, bigger than Buckinham Palace. He also discovered Pompeii and Herculaneum. Under Carlos III, the Spanish empire was the largest empire in the world, extending to Alaska, Uruguay, Tahiti, Equatorial Guinea, Louisiana, the Great Plains of the United States, Florida, the entire west coast of Canada... He directed operations in the defeat of the British in the war of the 13 colonies, with the Spanish victories in Louisiana, Florida, Bahamas, Central America, Minorca. Also in the naval blockade of England (1779-80), with the capture of two British fleets of 24 and 55 British ships, full of weapons, soldiers and money, which sank the London stock market. Then he gave the 8 real or the Spanish dollar to the United States. I don't think the British thought of Charles III as very funny :)

      @@Gloriaimperial1 Claiming land is very different than actually controlling and defending your legitimacy to the land in which you want to control. Spain can barely control the state of Mexico(not the actual nation we know it today with many other states) before the Mexicans kicked them out of North America. If they actually did control the parts they said they did they would have just had a land stronghold adjacent to it like the British did when they flew to Canada and started more attacks from there on the US.

      Do you think we have a problem controlling the frozen islands of Canada, Africa where Livingston was lost, or India with 300 semi-independent princes?
      In Italy we won 10 wars against France, capturing the king of France and his son in the battle of Pavia, taking them prisoners to Madrid. We destroyed the Turkish fleet at Lepanto, with our Italian NATO. We dominate the Vatican. In Italy we made 9 universities, splendid baroque cities, palaces and discovered Pompeii and Herculaneum. Controlling America (great plains, Florida, Louisiana, part of Alaska), Borneo, Tahiti, Taiwan, the Philippines and other places where the Spanish empire was, was not too difficult, due to the technological difference that existed at that time between Europe and those lands isolated. The fortress adjacent to the icy British Baffin Island (visited by a whaler every 3-4 years) was 3000 km. The British paint the map of the British Empire in red, in places where no one lived. If we Spaniards did the same, we would have an empire of more than 30 million km2 in the XVI-XVII centuries

      There is a difference between "claimed land" and actually controlled settlements by those empires. Even though Spain claimed majority of North America it was sliced into pieces very fast because in order for something to be considered "legit" it has to be enforced. Spain at the time in North America could barely control the State(not the nation we see today) of Mexico its outskirts and maybe isolated settlements of the original people close to a shore. There biggest settlement in North America past the Mexican state was when they tried to control the already inhabited settlement of Toas Pueblo(where Albuquerque is pretty much is today) until after the Pueblo revolt of 1680 the Spanish had very little presence in the Southwest North American region(today the Southwestern United states, and Northern Mexico) that officers wrote about how little European influence was in these regions.
