A collection of warring kingdoms in the 15th century, Spain managed to become a global superpower in the 16th century. And yet, by the second half of the 17th century, Spain had lost its preeminence. This course will examine the spectacular rise and fall of the Spanish Empire. Topics will include the Reconquista, the conquest and colonization of the Americas, and Spain's many alliances and rivalries in Europe and around the Mediterranean. |
