Information
During the rule of Carlos II, one significant territory that gained independence from Spanish control was the Spanish Netherlands. This process of independence was part of the larger conflict known as the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648), which began before Carlos II's reign but concluded during it.

- Economic Issues: Heavy taxation and economic exploitation by the Spanish crown fueled discontent among the Dutch provinces.
- Political Autonomy: The northern provinces sought greater political autonomy and resented Spanish centralized control.

Felipe III
Wars During His ReignFelipe III's reign is often noted for the relative peace compared to his predecessors. However, there were still significant military engagements: Eighty Years' War (1568-1648): This was an ongoing conflict that Spain inherited from the previous reign, fighting against the Dutch Republic's independence movement. War with England: Despite the peace established in 1604 with the Treaty of London, there were sporadic tensions and conflicts with England, primarily privateering and naval skirmishes.
The expulsion of the Moriscos in 1609-1614 was a significant event in Spanish history. Around 300,000 Moriscos were expelled, which had profound economic and social impacts. The Moriscos were often skilled agriculturalists and artisans, and their removal led to economic difficulties in regions where they were concentrated.
Felipe IV
Count-Duke of OlivaresGaspar de Guzmán, the Count-Duke of Olivares, was the chief minister and a powerful figure in Spanish politics. He sought to centralize and strengthen the Spanish monarchy but faced considerable opposition. Public Perception: Olivares was not widely loved. His policies, aimed at increasing royal revenue and military power, often led to heavy taxation and conscription, making him unpopular among the general populace. Rebellions in Portugal and Catalonia Portugal: In 1640, a major rebellion broke out in Portugal, leading to the Portuguese Restoration War. Portugal declared independence from Spain, which was formalized in 1668. Catalonia: The same year, Catalonia also rebelled against Olivares' policies, particularly his demands for military contributions in the Thirty Years' War. The Catalan Revolt (Reapers' War) lasted until 1659 when the Treaty of the Pyrenees ceded parts of Catalonia to France. Thirty Years' War The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) was a major European conflict involving many powers, including Spain. It was partly a religious war between Catholic and Protestant states and partly a struggle for political dominance. Main Opponents: Spain fought primarily against France and the Protestant states of the Holy Roman Empire, such as Sweden and the Netherlands. Outcomes: The war ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which significantly weakened Spain's influence in Europe and marked the rise of France as a dominant continental power.

Carlos was seen as a foreigner. Born in Ghent, in the Habsburg Netherlands, he spoke little Spanish and brought with him many Flemish advisors, which upset the Spanish nobility and populace who feared foreign domination. Carlos spent a significant portion of his reign outside of Spain, dealing with his vast European territories and responsibilities as Holy Roman Emperor. To fund his numerous military campaigns across Europe, Carlos imposed heavy taxes on the Spanish people, causing economic strain and resentment.
- The revolt had social and economic dimensions, with the rebels demanding reforms and greater influence.
- Carlos I's rivalry with Francis I of France led to several wars, known as the Italian Wars. These conflicts were primarily over control of territories in Italy and the greater balance of power in Europe.
Catholic Monarchs
Isabel I, also known as Isabella I, became Queen of Castilla through a series of political and familial maneuvers. She was born on April 22, 1451, to King John II of Castilla and his second wife, Isabella of Portugal. Her half-brother, Henry IV, was king at the time. Initially, Isabel was not the direct heir to the throne due to her half-brother’s children. However, the legitimacy of Henry IV’s daughter, Juana la Beltraneja, was disputed, creating a crisis of succession. In 1468, Henry IV recognized Isabel as his heiress through the Treaty of the Bulls of Guisando, bypassing Juana. Upon Henry IV's death in 1474, Isabel declared herself queen, leading to a civil war against Juana la Beltraneja and her supporters. Isabel’s claim was solidified after the War of Castilian Succession (1475-1479), where she ultimately emerged victorious. Fernando II of Aragón: Fernando II, also known as Ferdinand II, inherited the throne of Aragón through traditional succession. Born on March 10, 1452, he was the son of John II of Aragón and Juana Enríquez. Fernando's path to the throne was relatively straightforward compared to Isabel's. He became King of Sicily in 1468 and then succeeded his father as King of Aragón in 1479. "Tanto monta, monta tanto, Isabel como Fernando" The phrase "Tanto monta, monta tanto, Isabel como Fernando" translates to "They amount to the same, Isabel and Fernando." This motto encapsulated the equality and partnership between the two monarchs. It signified their joint sovereignty and equal authority in their kingdoms, emphasizing the unified rule of Castilla and Aragón under their reign. Territories Conquered The Catholic Monarchs, Isabel and Fernando, significantly expanded their territories through conquest and diplomacy: Granada: The Reconquista culminated in 1492 with the conquest of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, the last Muslim stronghold in Spain. This victory marked the completion of the centuries-long Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula. Navarre: In 1512, Fernando's forces invaded and annexed the Kingdom of Navarre, integrating it into the Crown of Aragón. Canary Islands: The conquest and colonization of the Canary Islands were completed during their reign. New World Territories: Following Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492, which was sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs, Spain began the exploration and colonization of the Americas, laying the foundation for the Spanish Empire in the New World. Important Events in 1492 Fall of Granada: On January 2, 1492, the city of Granada surrendered to Isabel and Fernando, marking the end of Muslim rule in Spain. Expulsion of the Jews: The Alhambra Decree, issued on March 31, 1492, ordered the expulsion of practicing Jews from Castilla and Aragón by July 31. This edict was part of their effort to consolidate Christian religious unity in their kingdoms. Christopher Columbus's Voyage: On August 3, 1492, Columbus set sail on his first voyage across the Atlantic, leading to the discovery of the New World on October 12, 1492. This event heralded the age of exploration and significant territorial expansion for Spain. Matrimonial Policy and Children Isabel and Fernando employed a strategic matrimonial policy to strengthen political alliances and consolidate power across Europe. Their children and their notable marriages include: Isabel of Aragón (1470-1498): Married Alfonso of Portugal, and after his death, Manuel I of Portugal. Juan, Prince of Asturias (1478-1497): Married Margaret of Austria. Juana I of Castilla (1479-1555): Known as "Juana la Loca," she married Philip the Handsome of Habsburg, thus tying the Spanish crown to the Habsburg dynasty. Maria of Aragón (1482-1517): Married Manuel I of Portugal after the death of her sister Isabel. Catherine of Aragón (1485-1536): Married Arthur, Prince of Wales, and after his death, she married his brother, Henry VIII of England. Her marriage to Henry VIII was later a central issue in the English Reformation.
