Nationality In Spain

“If the region were not already possessed by a rival, then a state might acquire it in one of three ways, by persuading the indigenous inhabitants to submit themselves to its overlordship; by purchasing from those inhabitants the right to settle part or parts of it; by unilateral possession, on the basis of first discovery and effective occupation (M. Borch 2001)”.

Throughout history, as we study Spain we can clearly recognize high and low points in their success. In the fifteen hundreds Spain had no influence on European affairs, Spain essentially vanished out of Europe. However, within one complete century Spain had become not only a leading power but they also had a great sense of effectiveness in Europe. Spain experienced a Golden age with many social, economic, political aspects. On the other hand, within

What was once considered a territory of rural communities and towns grew to states consisting of large urban cities. As the society of the states became more complex and integrated, dependence upon the parent country began to dwindle. As the states matured, their inhabitants were no

Many of the authors in Vasquez’s book state that “states who have territorial disputes have a higher probability of going to war than would be expected by chance” (Vasquez, 336, 21-22). Vasquez backs his point by providing Hensel’s empirical data that demonstrates evidence on why territorial disputes are so effective to the propensity

Kamen has accomplished is to demonstrate how much of this achievement was the result not of simple conquering but of the successful cooperation between the Spanish and the people with whom they came into contact.

The Spanish civil war of 1936-1939 was an important conflict in Spain’s history. This war was initiated by a military revolt led by General Francisco Franco on the 17 July 1936 and ended with Franco’s victory on the 1 April, 1939. This victory resulted in the replacement of the Second Spanish Republic with the conservative dictatorship of Franco. This conflict triggered the clash of the various cultures and ideologies within Spain. One important example of an ideological clash was that of Communism versus Fascism. This clash was so important that, based on an analysis of the level of involvement of Fascist and Communist factions in said clash, one must concede that the conflict between Communism and Fascism was represented to a great

The Spanish Civil War is the name given to the struggle between loyalist and nationalist Spain for dominance in which the nationalists won and suppressed the country for the following thirty nine years. However, because of the larger political climate that the Spanish Civil War occurred in, it is impossible to view the war as a phenomenon contained within one nation. Despite its obvious domestic orientation as a civil war it was a major international conflict. The reason for this, I would maintain, is the political dogma which surrounded the war. This essay takes the form of a political survey of the

The history of Spain is colorful. Not only with its music, food, and art, but also its history. "Through exploration and conquest, Spain became a world power in the 16th century, and it maintained a vast overseas empire until the early 19th century" (BBC News). Spain Had a Civil War in 1936-39. This was to ensure the 36 year dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. Sadly, He passed away in 1975. This throw Spain in to a democratic state. Also put King Juan Carlos took over as head of state (Spain Profile). Spain has a Parliamentary Monarchy for government. The Official is Castilian Spanish (Facts about Spain). The Civil War started from 1936 and ended in 1939. Nationalist alliances led by Francisco Franco and Bahamonde fought to take over

In “Negotiating Spain and Catalonia: Competing Narratives of National Identity,” author Fernando Leon Solis examines the various motivational factors for Catalonia’s push for autonomy within Spain. The author makes a compelling case as to how and why Catalonia is attempting to gain autonomy. Solis believes that the main motivation for Catalonian autonomy is the conflict over the definition of Catalan identity, which, Catalans believe, can only fully be established under regional autonomy. Solis argues that if the Catalan National political party, Convergencia I Unio, can come to an agreement with the majority party in parliament, Partido Popular, then Catalonia may receive regional autonomy. Additionally, Solis believes that the Catalans are not seeking national independence, but rather they wish for a high level of autonomy within Spain. It is important to

When examining the relationship between territoriality and war one might find several different approaches to the connection between the two aspects. Territory and war have long been related between interstate wars for a long period of time. As you take a look at past wars and how territory has played a major role in the escalation of conflict you will find several different angles to the situations. One angle that has shown vital data to relationship would be territorial contiguity between interstates. When territory are contiguous to one another from past history it shows the interstates are more likely to have disputes with one another. You could also breakdown the terms of contiguity into proximity, interaction, and territoriality to get an in depth view of a matter.

Before one can start taking over other territories, they would need to have control over their own city state. “All states, all forms of government that have had and continue to have
