From a powerful monarchy and empire to fascism, Spain has a fascinating history.
The following is a partisan comment of the sort that I (LMS) for one would like not to see on Wikipedia...
Modern spanish history is anything else than the history of their nations. Spanish state has been constructed on the opression of these nations.

I'd have to agree with Larry. The comment doesn't distinguish Spain from the United States. <ducks and runs>
La expulsión de los árabes de España, conocida como Reconquista?,fue iniciada por el primer Rey de Asturias, llamado Pelayo (718-737,)que, en los montes de Covadonga comenzo su lucha contra los invasores musulmanes. Posteriormente, sus hijos y descencientes continuarían con su tarea hasta llegar a la expulsión total de los musulmanes. Aunque no se se conoce con certeza el origen de Pelayo, todo indica que se trataba de un noble visigodo que, refugiado en las montañas de Asturias, lideró la rebelión de la mayoria de los habitantes del norte de España contra la invasión musulmana de la Península Ibérica.

I found this in the article. Could be nice if translated to English :-) --Anders Törlind


"Now, Spain is formed by 17 autonomous communities". Should this be included in a "history" of Spain, or in a broader article on the present makeup of Spain? In either case, shouldn't there be a list of these autonomous communities? -- corvus13
