Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Spain
The present work is an attempt to give in one volume the main features of Spanish history from the standpoint of America. It should serve almost equally well for residents of both the English-speaking and the Spanish American countries, since the underlying idea has been that Americans generally are concerned with the growth of that Spanish civilization which was transmitted to the new world. One of the chief factors in American life today is that of the relations between Anglo-Saxon and Hispanic America. They are becoming increasingly important. The southern republics themselves are forging ahead; on the other hand many of them are still dangerously weak, leaving possible openings for the not unwilling old world powers; and some of the richest prospective markets of the globe are in those as yet scantily developed lands. The value of a better understanding between the peoples of the two Americas, both for the reasons just named and for many others, scarcely calls for argument. It is almost equally clear that one of the essentials to such an understanding is a comprehension of Spanish civilization, on which that of the Spanish American peoples so largely depends. That information this volume aims to provide. It confines itself to the story of the growth of Spanish civilization in Spain, but its ultimate transfer to the Americas has been constantly in the writer's mind in the choice of his material, as will appear from the frequent allusions in the text. An attempt is made to treat Spanish institutions not as static (which they never were) but in process of evolution, from period to period. The development of Spanish institutions in the colonies and the later independent states, it is hoped, will be the subject of another volume.

A History of Spain (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rich history of Spain, from its geographical beginnings and prehistoric peoples to the end of Roman rule in the 5th century AD. The author argues that Spain's unique geography, with its vast tableland and high mountain ranges, fostered a sense of regional diversity and cultural isolation, contributing to the development of distinct civilizations and ethnic groups over time. The book examines the influence of successive waves of invaders, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians, on the development of Spanish culture, and explores the impact of Roman rule on the Iberian Peninsula. Through an analysis of social, political, and economic institutions, the author sheds light on the formation of Spanish identity and the foundations of its future development. The book offers valuable insights into the complex and multifaceted history of Spain, providing a comprehensive account of the origins and evolution of Spanish civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
