The Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rulers, who had been active in the region since the early eight century, left Spain dominated by two large kingdoms: Aragon and Castile. These were united under the joint rule of Ferdinand and Isabella in 1479, and they added other regions to their control, forming what would, in a few decades, evolve into the country of Spain. During the rule of these two monarchs Spain began to acquire a massive overseas empire, and the Spanish ‘Golden Age’ occurred in the sixteen and seventeen centuries. Spain became part of the Habsburg family inheritance when Emperor Charles V inherited it in 1516, and when Charles II left the throne to a French noble the War of the Spanish Succession occurred between France and the Habsburgs; the French noble won.
Spain was invaded by Napoleon and saw struggles between an allied force and France, which the allies won, but this triggered independence movements among Spain’s imperial possessions.
