About This Group
spain led european global exploration and colonial expansion in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. trade flourished across the atlantic and pacific oceans. toppling the aztec and inca civilizations‚ spain laid claim to vast territories in north and south america. the spanish empire became the foremost global power‚ dominating the oceans as well as european battlefields. spain enjoyed a cultural golden age in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when silver and gold from american mines increasingly financed a long series of european and north african wars. until the eighteenth century‚ the spanish empire was the largest in the world‚ although it suffered fluctuating militavi and economic fortunes. confronted by the new experiences‚ difficulties and suffering created by empire-building‚ spanish thinkers formulated some of the first modern ideas on natural law‚ sovereignty‚ international law‚ war‚ and economics-even questioning the legitimacy of imperialism. the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are sometimes called ＂the golden age of spain＂ （in spanish. as a result of the marriage politics of the reyes catolicos‚ their grandson charles inherited the castilian empire in america‚ the aragonese empire in the mediterranean （including a large portion of modern italy）‚ as well as the crown of the holy roman empire and of the low countries and franche-comte. thus this empire was constituted from the inheritance of territories‚ and not through conquest. after his defeat of the castilian rebels in the castilian war of the communities‚ charles became the most powerful man in europe‚ his rule stretching over an empire in europe unrivalled in extent until the napoleonic era. it was often said during this time that it was the empire on which the sun never set. this sprawling empire of the spanish golden age was controlled‚ not from distant inland madrid‚ but from seville.
