Coming out of the civil war, and seeing that the Canary Islands could not be conquered by the Peraza, the Catholic Kings ordered an expedition in 1478. The Peraza protested that they had all the legal rights. The Kings, to avoid legal problems, bought back the rights to Gran Canaria, La Palma and Tenerife, that became the royalship islands, while the remaining lordship islands continued under feudal status for the Peraza family. In 1480 the Kings sent Pedro de Vera to conquer the islands, who using all available means, including war dogs, conquered Gran Canaria by 1483. Spain was getting her first experience at conquest and colonization in the Canary Islands.Actions

It likely came into hands of Spanish mariners within a couple of years of its (hand-written) publication.

Description
The war of Granada started as a frontier war with a Muslim attack on Zahara in December 1481, that was responded by the Marquis of Cadiz in February 1482 with the conquest of Alhama, deep inside Muslim terrritory. The Kings gave orders of holding Alhama at all cost, as the first step in the conquest of the Nasrid emirate. Alhama held thanks to the help of the Duke of Medina-Sidonia, personal enemy of the Marquis of Cadiz, a clear demonstration that the war was going to unite the Kingdoms. At the beginning of the war, the Christians were not prepared for the offensive, and suffered several setbacks, but Granada was in a civil war, divided in two factions fighting each other and against the Christians, and after the battle of Lucena, the leader of one faction, Boabdil, was captured. Fernando decided to realease him on terms to keep the Muslims divided. Fernando reorganized the army, introducing artillery in great amounts, as a new weapon to conquer the Muslim strongholds in days instead of months. Through an extraordinary effort during the campaigns of 1484-86 the first phase of the war was concluded with the conquest of the Western part of the emirate of Granada, capturing Boabdil a second time. The pact made with him for his release included his renounciation to the parts of the emirate in the hands of his rival and uncle, Emir Muhammad XIII al-Zagal, and the surrender of Granada once it became under his control in exchange for a title and land states. The second phase of the war of Granada was then directed against the parts controlled by al-Zagal, the coast and the Eastern part of the emirate. After the fall of Baza and Almeria in 1489, Al-Zagal, defeated, abdicated, and Boabdil became in control of Granada. According to the treaty the war was over. But Boabdil refused to comply, forcing a third phase, the siege of Granada, that was stablished in 1491. The artillery was not used to preserve the city, and Granada will finally surrender in January 1492. 780 years of Muslim presence in the peninsula had come to an end.Actions

In 1486 a Genoese named Cristoforo Colombo offered his plan for finding a Western route to India to the Kings of Spain. His offer had been previously rejected by Portugal because they were following the Eastern route, and because it was fundamentally flawed. Columbus was basing his plan in the mistaken Ptolemaic and Biblic theories of Pierre D'Ailly and Paolo Toscanelli that considered the circumference of the Earth a lot smaller that it really is. Although it was difficult to find good geographers in Castile, the Spanish commission also rightly concluded that the plan was inviable, probably because the right measurement of the Earth's circumference had already been calculated by Erathostenes, and by Muslim astronomers, and this knowledge was known at the time. The outrageous demands of the sailor probably did not help him either. However, since Columbus had already gained some important supporters, Queen Isabel between them, the commission left the door open to a reconsideration after the war of Granada, and allocated some funds for Columbus.Actions

Description
The situation in the lordship islands of the Canaries was specially bad. Their feudal status in Norman style, that did not exist in any other place of Spain, allowed their lords, Hernán de Peraza and his wife Beatriz de Bobadilla to dispossess their subjects, and even sell them if they were not Christians. Knowing that, almost all the Guanches had baptized, yet their lords sometimes sold them anyway despite priests protests. The authority of the Peraza in Gomera had been established through a tribal pact with two of the four tribal groups. When Hernán became the lover of Yballa, a young Guanche, he inadvertently broke a tabu, since she was a member of his adopted tribal group, and intermarriage within a group was not allowed to prevent consanguinity. Hernán de Peraza was killed, and the natives rose in rebellion, besieging his wife, who called for help. Pedro de Vera came from Gran Canaria and conducted a terrible revenge, killing many men and selling many women and children.Actions

Sugar was for a long time a luxury product. In the second half of the XV century, Portugal displaced Venice as the biggest European productor, introducing sugar in the Azores and Madeira. In Spain sugar was cultivated in Granada by the Arabs, but the conditions in the Canary Islands were very good for its cultivation. From the moment of their conquest, sugar was introduced in the islands, specially in Gran Canaria, Gomera, La Palma and Tenerife. Sugar production attracted many inmigrants from Castile, Aragon, Portugal, Genoa and Flanders, as well as black slaves brought to work on the plantations. Soon there were over 30 sugar mills in the Canary Islands. Christopher Columbus will take sugar cane plants from the Canaries to Santo Domingo in his second trip in 1493, introducing sugar production in the Antilles.Actions

Action B of 24005 - Western route to India for Spain
Description
Cristoforo Colombo submitted his plan for finding a Western route to India a second time in 1491. He was made to wait until the fall of Granada, but then the commission failed against his plan for a second time. However Columbus had impressed favourably several counselors of both Isabel and Fernando, and they lobbied in his favor. The main argument was that even if the risk was high, the investment was small and the potential benefits enormous, both in terms of money and in terms of souls that could be saved by Christianity. Isabel was very sensitive to this last argument and agreed to finance the expedition. The monarchs agreed to the exorbitant terms Columbus demanded: he would be knighted if he were to succeed on his first voyage, appointed Admiral of the Seas, made Viceroy of all the new lands, and on top of that awarded 10 percent of any new wealth. After 10 years of pursuing his dream he would accept nothing less, and after all, the enterprise was considered unlikely to produce much. The expedition was not expensive to finance, and the Queen did not need to sell any of her jewels. It is interesting to think that the most important geographical discovery of mankind was serendipitous. It came out of a grant application that was rejected by a scientific commission based on solid evidence that it was flawed and ignored relevant accepted bibliography supporting the opposite rightful theory, that India could not be reached by sailing Westward across an empty sea with available naval technology, but whose decision was overruled due to favoritism by influential politicians. Columbus will always defend against all evidence that he had reached Asia and not a New World. Awful administrator, he was, however, one of the greatest sailors of all times.Actions

Over the next months he subjugated the different tribes, until the last resisting chieftain, Tanausú, was captured by deception. The next year he landed at Tenerife, with over a thousand men, but suffered a great defeat at Acentejo at the hands of the Mencey Bencomo and his brother Tinguaro, losing most of his army. In 1495 he landed again at Tenerife with 1500 men. A plague had weakened the Guanches, and Bencomo made the mistake of presenting battle in the open, at Aguere. Their defeat was complete, and Bencomo and Tinguaro died. By December 1495, all the resistance had ended, and the Canary Islands were finally conquered.Actions

Description
The Mesta was an association of sheepholders created in Castile in 1273 by Alfonso X the Wise. Its origen was the use of lands near the borders with the Muslims during the Reconquista, as no crops could be grown due to constant hostilities, while sheep flocks could easily be hidden during the algaradas or Muslim attacks. The substitution of the original Churra race of sheeps by the higher quality Merina, introduced in Spain by the Marinid berbers, increased the wealth of the Mesta and the Crown income, and the Kings started a policy of protecting the Mesta at the expense of agriculture and forests. Sheep flocks in Central Spain required summer and winter pastures and free routes between them, and the Mesta herds had the right to drink from any water and eat from any land, paying for that priviledge a quantity decided by the Mesta. They could also cut forests, and no land could be fenced along their routes. This policy reached its peak with the Catholic Kings, when the oldest member of the Royal Council became also the president of the Mesta Council, and when the regulations of 1492 were stablished. The taxes over the rights of pass were reduced, but they were shifted from the local towns directly to the Crown. By then the Mesta controlled 125,000 km of routes and half a million hectares (over a million acres) of productive lands. It had its own judicial system and its own law enforcement agents and was perhaps the most important corporate organization in Medioeval Europe. As is the case with other nomad populations, the shephards of the Mesta were the best soldiers of Spain and constituted the main source of recruits for the elite Tercios. The Mesta was for a long time the main source of wealth for Castile, as its precious wool was exported to the North of Europe, but some consequences could not be foreseen, and the production of cereals started to decline. The Honorable Council of the Mesta will last until 1836, and even today many Mesta routes are protected forever from urban development to be enjoyed no longer by sheeps, but by weekend excursionists. As a curiosity, the word mustang derives from mesteño, or mesta animal.Actions

Description
Medieval Spain was unique in Western Europe for the diversity of its population. In addition to a large segment of Muslims, Spain had the single largest Jewish community in the world, with three hundred thousand souls. In the 14th Century, however, anti-Jewish attitudes were on the rise throughout Europe. In 1290, England expelled its Jews and France followed in 1306. Spain began to experience an increasing anti-Jewish sentiment. It exploded in the summer of 1391 with angry anti-Jewish riots with hundreds of deaths. These riots led to major forced conversions of Jews to Christianity. Unlike the remaining Jews, the converts were welcomed into a full participation in Spanish society and they would soon become leaders in government, science, business and the Church. Over the years the Old Christians saw these converted families as opportunists who secretly maintained the faith of their forefathers. It was a strong mixture of racial prejudice and jealousy against the converts that would stir-up the Spanish Inquisition to prosecute the minority of false-converts. On March 31, 1492, Isabel and Fernando signed the edict of expulsion of all Jews in their Kingdoms by July 31. They were allowed to sell their properties and take their valuables, and money in letters of payment, but no gold or silver. The Kings intended to force the conversion of most of them, and indeed many converted, raising the proportion of Jews converted along the century to two thirds of their original population. But many also chose to leave, their numbers still debated, but probably over 100,000, most of them from Castilla, Toledo, Andalucia, and Murcia. It was a popular measure probably intended to forge a national identity for Spain, and also due to the belief that the Jews were a bad influence to the converts. The Jews that went to Portugal, Navarra, Provence and Morocco, suffered prosecution, violence and new expulsions, and the Kings of Spain allowed the return of those willing to convert until 1499. Those that went to Italy and Constantinople fared better. The economic consequences of the expulsion were negative as the Jews paid increased taxes, lent money to Kings and nobles, and administered properties. Culturally it was an even greater loss.Actions

After the wars of Granada, many veterans chose to enlist for the Italian wars, following Fernando Gonzalez de Cordoba, later named -El Gran Capitan-. But others were atracted by the histories circulating over the Kingdoms about the new land discovered beyond the seas. Columbus had already brought several natives, and as much gold as he had discovered. Not much, indeed, just some personal jewlery from the indians, but enough to excite the imagination of poor hardened soldiers. According to rumors, one just needed a sack, and the indians would fill it with gold, making one's fortune in a day's work.

Christopher Columbus's 1493 letter from Lisbon announcing the success of his voyage westward across the Atlantic Ocean quickly became one of the earliest 'best sellers' of European publishing. No less than eleven editions were published in 1493! They were issued across western Europe, in Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Six more editions were published in 1494-97. Everybody was eager to learn about the new lands across the sea, and the letters of Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci, the 1516 'De orbe novo decades' of Pedro Mártir de Anglería, and the 1535 'Historia general de las Indias' of Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, contributed to change the perception of the world that Europe had. But more profound changes were about to come. Already Columbus brought a pineapple to King Fernando in his first voyage, and they would be followed by maize and potatoes, that with a caloric yield per cultivated surface double to that of wheat, would trigger an unprecedented population growth. The Columbian exchange drastically altered both worlds, but at the time it also greatly contributed to the prestige of the Spanish monarchy, that after unifying two powerful countries, and expelling the Muslims from Western Europe, had discovered a New World.Actions

On his first voyage, Columbus reached the Great Antilles, discovering Cuba and la Hispaniola (divided today in Haiti and Dominican Republic), were the natives were amiables. On December 24, 1492, his biggest ship, la Santa Maria, suffered damages beyond repair in la Hispaniola. Since there was not enough room for everybody to return, they constructed a fort with the ship's wood, called Fort Christmas, and forty men were left behind, with the promise of returning the following year. Columbus took some indians with him, together with fruits, plants, parrots, and gold. But another less innocuous exchange was taking place. The Europeans took with them smallpox and typhus to the New World, and from then on, wherever they went the plagues preceded them. About 50 percent of the natives in the New World died in the following decades, and possibly only 20 percent of the original population levels remained a century later. All the plagues suffered by Europe since the middle ages, concentrated in a single deathly wave that swept the entire continent. In exchange the Europeans brought a new disease to the Old World, syphilis. No women were allowed in the first expedition, and clearly Columbus sailors did not remain idle. Introduced by the Spanish sailors in Seville and Naples, the disease would be spread throughout Italy and the rest of Europe by the French armies of Charles VIII in his failed attempt to conquer Naples, being known in those days as the French disease. Columbus remained ignorant of having changed the history of mankind, and thinking only that he had found a better way to reach India, in his second voyage, he will command a big fleet with enough colonists, farm animals, seeds, and priests to establish a colony in la Hispaniola (Barahona and Tortuga). The first permanent European colony in the New World.Actions

Description
The presence of Charles VIII of France in the Kingdom of Naples scared the Italian princes, who had in a certain way permitted the French King to achieve his goal of settling there almost undisturbed. Venice and Florence were worried about a French hegemony in the peninsula. French military presence wasn't limited to Southern Italy but also to villages of Tuscany and the Papal States, which previously surrendered to Charles VIII in his march towards Naples, strategically located to grant the French military supply line. The Pope, who previously granted the French King military access through the Papal territories and consented his stay in Rome, felt in jeopardy as much as to refuse Charles VIII being proclaimed King of Naples. Also King Ferdinand of Aragon couldn't accept the French presence in a Kingdom where he instead, in spite of Alfons V's testament which assigned Naples to the other Trastamara branch, could be the one to have claims there. The position of Naples was also important for the Aragonese trading in the Mediterranean. The Duke of Milan, who decisively affected Charles VIII's decision to settle in Naples, was now alarmed by the presence of French reserve troops deployed in the county of Asti, very close to Milan and at the order of the Duke of Orléans, who had dynastical claims to the Milanese throne. So Venice, Milan, the Pope, Spain and even the Holy Roman Empire (so firmly opposed to the French expansionism in Italy as to join any Anti-French alliance available) consequently formed the Anti-French league in Venice on 31 March 1495. Florence preferred to stay out because of her internal problems caused by Charles VIII's passage and decided to support France instead. Having heard about those arrangements and fearing that the confederates would isolate his army in Italy, Charles VIII decided to return to France for reinforcements leaving his regent in Naples. He had to move his army quickly through the Apennines as to reach the Alps and then safety, but the presence of heavy artilleries and carriages transporting the big loot he accumulated across Italy, slowed his march down. Only at Fornovo on the Taro River, in the Po Valley, Charles VIII finally faced the army of the confederates. Despite having lost all the carriages, he managed to reach the Alps gaining from his expedition to Italy nothing but his army decimated by epidemies.Actions

Description
On the recommendation of the powerful Cardinal Mendoza, Franciscan Friar Cisneros was appointed as confessor to Queen Isabel after the conquest of Granada. He soon obtained all her confidence, and in 1495, he was appointed bishop of Toledo at the death of Mendoza. The post included a chancellorship of Castile, that he only accepted under orders of the Pope. He soon became one of the most influential men in the Kingdom, with the capacity to influence royal policies. The Kings had promised the Muslims of Granada that they could keep their religion and opted for a slow conversion process that could take generations. Cisneros had his own ideas about that.Actions

Description
With the French entering Naples, the young King Ferdinando II, also called Ferrandino, had sailed to Sicily to receive the military support of his cousin, Ferdinand II King of Aragon. Starting from his base in Messina he then tried to reconquer his Kingdom with an Aragonese army led by general Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba. After an initial defeat against the French in the battle of Seminara, the King organized a fleet and, supported by the local population which was hostile to the presence of French troops, entered Naples retaking the castles which were still in French hands. Although having successfully helped his cousin Ferrandino, Ferdinand of Aragon distrusted Ferrandino's uncle Federico who succeded to the throne because of lack of Ferrandino's direct descendancy. Federico was a weak monarch whose unhappy diplomatic moves to appease France, even acknowledging his realm as a French fief, and to encourage diplomatic relations with the Turk would let the Kingdom be prey of foreign powers. Ferdinand of Aragon, who didn't deny to disconfess Alfons V's testament to keep the crown of Naples separate from those of Aragon and Sicily, feared that the defense of Naples, crucial to the Aragonese trading in the Mediterranean, could no longer be entrusted to his relative. He had to face the difficult choice of either going to war against France or splitting the Kingdom of Naples with them. When Federico refused a marriage between his son Ferrandino, Duke of Calabria, and Ferdinand's niece, Juana de Aragón, King Ferdinand definitively resolved to come to terms with the French King signing the treaty of Granada. The fate of Naples was then written.Actions

On April 13, 1499, Pope Alexander VI granted Cisneros the privilege of founding in Alcalá a college, that would become the University of Alcalá. He soon recruited the best professors available from all over Europe, and started his personal project at his own expense: the creation of the first polyglot Bible, in Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Chaldaic. The work was in six large volumes, the last one made up of dictionaries and grammars for the different languages. Six hundred copies were issued, and found their way to the principal libraries of Europe, where they had considerable influence on subsequent editions of the Bible. Meanwhile, the University and the city around it developed. The University of Alcalá (Complutensis, from the Latin name of Alcalá, Complutum) would soon become one of the main European universities and the main focus of intellectual activity in Spain.Actions

Description
With the conquest of Granada, its inhabitants became Mudejars, Muslim subjects of the Kings. With the arrival of thousands of Old Christians, they became second class citizens. When the Catholic Kings returned to Granada in 1499, they could see that the conversion program was going nowhere, and authorized Cisneros to take charge. He started by confiscating Muslim books and promoting the semi-forced conversion of a subgroup of Muslims, the Helches, descendants of Christians that had been Islamized for generations. By Christmas 1499, the Muslims rebelled in the city and the rebellion quickly spread throughout the province. When the rebellion was put down in 1501, the Kings had the excuse to break the peace agreements and declared the forced conversion of all the Mudejars in their Kingdom or exile. Most opted to convert, becoming Moriscos or New Christians. They were allowed to preserve their customs and so peace was restored.Actions

Description
King Federico III of Naples was unable to oppose much resistance, and the French entered Naples in August 1501. Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba met more resistance in the siege of Taranto, defended by Federico's son Ferdinando. Ferdinando surrendered Taranto to Spain on March 1502, and Fernando of Aragon did not keep Cordoba's promise of personal freedom to him, asking Cordoba to send him to Spain. His father King Federico III had already ceded the Kingdom to Louis XII King of France, who in exchange for it, appointed him Duke of Anjou. Federico III will die in 1504 in France. In 1550 with the death of his son Ferdinando, who was taken captive in Spain, the line of the House of Trastamara Naples will be definitely extinct. But the Kings had neglected to properly divide the regions of the Kingdom, leaving the Principati, the Basilicata and the Capitanata between both parts unassigned. The French denied that Capitanata (a land on which both Apulia and Abruzzi depended for food and flock wintering) was part of Apulia arguing recent administrative usage, and refused to allow the commissaries of Spain to collect the tolls on migrating flocks as the treaty stipulated. Soon incidents were taking place and open war broke out in July 1502. But the lack of decision by the French to attack when they had the advantage, the skill of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba and the delays of Louis in bringing reinforcements will see the French expelled from Naples in one year. Completely defeated in Naples by Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, Louis XII of France agreed at Blois in October of 1505 to cede his rights over Naples to his relative Germaine de Foix on her marriage to Fernando of Aragon. After the battle of Cerignola on 28 April 1503 Gonzalo Fernández will be remembered as el Gran Capitán. He introduced many of the reforms that would change the way battles were fought for centuries, and lead to the creation of the Spanish Tercios, and also trained most of the next generation of Spanish commanders.Actions

Description
The colonization of the New World started in the island of La Hispaniola, where Columbus returned in 1493 to discover that the first settlement, Fort Christmas, had been wiped out by natives. But Christopher and his brothers Diego and Bartolome were very bad administrators and were distrusted by the Spaniards for being foreigners. Quarrels and rebellions abounded, and by 1495 everybody in the colony wanted to return to Spain. The colony was a sink for money, and Columbus, aware that his promises of riches to the Kings have not been fulfilled, insisted in slaving natives and sending them to Seville. This was a legitimate trade for a Genoese, but the Kings influenced by the church had given orders that only natives that raised in arms against Spanish rule could be enslaved. Worried by all this problems, the Kings named Francisco Bobadilla new governor of La Hispaniola in 1500, but he went as far as to put Columbus in chains and send him back to Spain. The Kings, horrified, released him, and named Fray Nicolas de Ovando new governor. Ovando ruthlessly suppressed every rebellion from colonists and natives, killing all the indian caciques (chieftains). He then efficiently administrated the colony, reducing the crown tax to 20 percent, stimulating the productivity and attracting new colonists. Soon the colonist population soared and the island became a good source of income for Spain, and the base for the conquest of the neighboring island of Cuba (Havana, Moron and Guantanamo). By contrast the native population, decimated by diseases and having lost the will to live under European oppression, initiated a decline that will end in their extinction. In 1507, Fernando el Catolico will name Diego Colon, son of Christopher Columbus, new governor of La Hispaniola, in substitution of Ovando.Actions

Description
In 1503, the Catholic Kings reorganized their army introducing a new set of regulations. These regulations were the basis for further reforms introduced that year by two military geniuses. Gonzalo de Ayora realized that the military units of the time were too small for the Renaissance wars, and joined several companies under command of captains into a new type of unit that he called colunela (after Italian colonna or column, later regiment) under command of a new type of officer called colonnelo, and later colonel. At the same time, Gonzalo Fernández de Cordoba, was using his experiences in the wars of Granada and in the first Italian Campaign (1494-1496) to introduce further reforms. From the moors he had learnt to introduce the terrain into the battle equation. From the Swiss at Seminara he learnt the value of pikers armed with swords. He then added two important contributions, a strong sense of loyalty to the general and the King, carefully cultivated to motivate the troops, and the importance of combined arms and firepower for the infantry. He increased the size of his companies to 500 men, of which 200 where pikers, 200 armed with short sword and buckler for short-range combat against enemy pikers, and 100 arquebusiers. This distribution allowed the companies to quickly change from march to combat order, to respond to attack from all sides, and to be effective at all ranges. He then increased the size of his regiments to 12 companies or 6000 infantry, plus 600 cavalry and 20 pieces of artillery. His army could have one or two regiments, being the size of a modern division. These modifications and others related to lines of supplies, intelligence gathering and dynamic defences at encampments resulted in the Spanish infantry being the most modern army of its time and heralded the end of the medieval cavalry. The victories over the French armies that year were continuous: ambush of Barletta, assault on Ruvo, second battle of Seminara, battle of Cerignola, failure of the French invasion of the Roselló, and battle of Garellano. At the capitulation of Gaeta the first of January, 1504, the Kingdom of Naples was won for Spain by el Gran Capitán.Actions

On November 26, 1504 Isabel died, after leaving the Kingdom to her daughter Juana, but entrusting the government to her husband Fernando in case she was incapacitated, as she showed mental instability. The Kingdom got split between partisans and opponents of Fernando. The King of Aragon decided to leave Castile, even though the new Kings, Felipe I and Juana, had not arrived yet from Flanders. But when Felipe died soon after his arrival, Cisneros became the Regent of Castile with the goal of obtaining the return of the King. Fernando, King of Aragon, became then Regent of Castile in the name of his now mad daughter, and rewarded Cisneros with the Cardinalate. In her testament, Isabel had asked her heirs not to abandon the conquest of Africa. The Kings of Castile had reclaimed their right to the integration of Mauritania Tingitana (then Fez and Tlemcen) since Alfonso XI because it was part of the Hispanian diocese, and Tangier had been a Visigothic province. Already Melilla had been occupied by the Duke of Medina-Sidonia in 1497. The question was if embarked as she was in the conquest of America and Italy, Spain could afford to conquer also North Africa. Cisneros wanted to pursue Isabel's wishes, while Fernando was more practical.Actions

When Isabel of Castile died, Ferdinand found himself in the position of being both King of Aragon and Sicily and regent of Castile, so that he could focus more on Aragonese ambitions in the Mediterranean and claims to Southern Italian territories as legacy of the Trastamara King Alfons V. The Pope who traditionally considered himself suzerain of all the Italian territories south of the HRE boundaries, islands of Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily included, has always reserved for himself the right to appoint Kings and Dukes whoever he decided as being trustful and deign of Papal investiture. He would have opposed any external interference in his 'sacred' decisions. After Ferdinand's death in 1516, Charles, King of Spain would continue his grand father's expansionistic policy in Italy.Actions

Description
Before leaving Castile, Fernando gave Cisneros permission to attack Mazalquivir (Mers-el-Kebir), the port of Oran (Wahran). His motivation was the security of his Italian possessions from Barbary attacks. The Spanish expedition, with the costs advanced by Cisneros and under naval command of Ramón de Cardona, and land command of the Alcaide de los Donceles captured the fortress after a heavy bombardment. But Mazalquivir was difficult to hold, as it lacked water and had to be provisioned by dangerous sorties or by friendly tribes. After the return of Fernando, Cisneros lobbied indefatigably for another expedition to Oran. Fernando, who owned his post as Regent of Castile to him, agreed when Cisneros offered to finance the expedition. Command of the expedition was entrusted to Pedro Navarro, and it was carried out under the direct supervision of Cisneros, and under his personal banner. The Spaniards landed an army of over 20,000 men and besieged the city. Navarro soon blew the walls with his mines and heavy artillery bombardment, and in the assault the Spaniards inflicted 4000 casualties in the enemy, and conquered the city. Cisneros wanted to push the conquest inland, but Navarro, under orders from the King, refused. For almost 300 years, Oran and Mazalquivir would remain in Spanish hands.Actions

Description
Under the unique colonization model adopted by Spain, the Capitulación, the conquest and colonization was not funded by the state, neither left to the private initiative, nor entrusted to monopolistic trading companies. The Capitulación was a contract by which the State retained full control of the conquest and colonization, that was to be carried out by private individuals under a credit system based on the hypothetical riches to be found. The Adelantado, who had to advance the cost, and was in charge also of colonizing the assigned territory, if succesful received land grants and titles, and retained 4/5 of the bounty to pay the cost and as profit. The crown provided nothing but paperwork. The system proved wildly succesful until it started to create problems to control such huge territory, and was carefully regulated and toned down in the Regulations of 1573. After that date, Capitulaciones became unfrequent.Actions

Description
Since 1495, Venice had been holding the main ports of Apulia despite Aragonese claims to have them back. With the French invasion of Milan, Venice had acquired Milanese territories east of the Adda River, and upon the fall of Cesare Borgia had also acquired Rimini, Faenza and Ravenna, against the will of Pope Julius II. The Venetians also held Veneto and Friuli, on which Maximilian of Habsburg had imperial claims. In late 1507 Maximilian announced his intention to travel to Italy to receive the imperial investiture from the Pope himself, and in early 1508 he assembled a big army to escort him down to Rome. He requested free passage through Venetian territories, but was told that he would be allowed passage only without his army. Enraged at the answer, Maximilian attacked Venice, but this decision proved unwise: Venice not only routed the imperial army but also seized the imperial cities of Trieste, Gorz and Fiume. A second assault by a Tyrolean force several weeks later was an even greater failure, forcing Maximilian to conclude a humiliating three-year truce. With Pope Julius II's assent, Maximilian took the title of 'Emperor-elect', thus breaking the century-old custom that the Holy Roman Emperor had to be crowned by the Pope. Shortly afterward, Venice provided a pretext for war by appointing her own candidate to the vacant bishopric of Vicenza. The Emperor, the King of France and Ferdinand of Aragon gathered in Cambrai in December 1508 to sign a treaty which seemed to be a defensive alliance against the Turk. In reality they meant to form a league to attack Venice and deprive the Serenissima of most of her mainland territories. Pope Julius II, after a renewed Venetian refusal to give the Romagna lands back to the Papacy, ratified the treaty and at the same time proceeded to excommunicate all Venetian citizens. Ferrara and Mantua, each with separate claims to territories held by Venice, joined the league as well. In April 1509 military operations started, and a month later French troops decimated one of the two Venetian armies at the battle of Agnadello. Even though in August 1509 Venice managed to eliminate Mantua from the war, she still faced the collapse of her strategic position and had by February 24, 1510 to accept the papal demands on the cities she had occupied in Romagna. However, Pope Julius II was still not satisfied and demanded that the war be prosecuted until Venice conceded control over their church to the Pope and compensated him for his expenses. The Council of Ten had privately resolved that the terms had been accepted under duress and were therefore invalid, and that Venice should violate them at the earliest opportunity. This opportunity presented itself shortly afterward.Actions

Navarro disembarked 5,000 men and a train of artillery, and after defeating a far more numerous Berber army, conquered the city sacking it. Since it was still early in the season, Navarro decided to attack Tripoli. An army of 14,000 men was prepared. The second Duke of Alba, García de Toledo, son of the conqueror of Navarre, and father of the famous third Duke of Alba, took command of the expedition. The city, the strongest in the campaign, was taken by assault, with over 5,000 casualties between the defenders. Immediately Navarro and Alba went to Djerba with the intention of capturing the island. After landing, they were ambushed in an oasis and 3,000 soldiers and the Duke of Alba were killed. Navarro returned to Tripoli. The Zayyanid sultan of Tlemcen, Abu Abdallah Muhammad VIII, worried by the continuous defeats decided to become a vassal of Spain in 1510.Actions

Description
Fernando had agreed to Cisneros's policy of North African expansion to provide an alternative route to Sicily, and to squash piracy in the Barbary coast. However the conquest of isolated presidios (fortresses) in the coast had the exact opposite effect. Under the pressure of Spain, the authority of the Zayyanid rulers of Tlemcen was weakened, and pirates became independent and more active all along the coast. A Turkish pirate of name Aruj, who had become famous, received permission from the Hafsid sultan of Tunis to use the island of Djerba (Gelves) as a base, and he captured Jijelli in 1514 and took over Algiers in 1516 when he defeated the Spaniards. He then killed the local ruler and proclaimed himself sultan. He was known as Baba Aruj, or father Aruj. This was translated by the Spaniards as Barbarroja (Barbarossa in Italian, or Red beard). He became the nightmare of the Spaniards. In 1517 he supported a rebellion in Tlemcen, taking over it, but he was driven out by the Spaniards and killed in 1518. However the balance of power in Tlemcen was shifting towards Algiers, that continued independent under the leadership of Aruj's brother, Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa, who sought the help of the Ottoman Empire.Actions

In 1510, Diego Colon, governor of la Hispaniola, gave orders to Diego Velazquez de Cuellar to conquer the island of Cuba. A veteran of the Italian wars, with three hundred men, and accompanied by Fray Bartolome de las Casas, Diego Velazquez soon took possession of the island, founding several cities and becoming the first governor of the island. Under his rule, the island prospered, and would become three hundred years later the richest province of Spain. The prosperity of the colony and its central role in the shipping to Spain, soon will make it the target of the French corsairs. The first settlement in continental America, in 1511 in Darien (Isthmus), would still depart from la Hispaniola, but Cuba quickly took over the central role of exploration and colonization thanks to the capacity and ambition of Diego Velazquez. He ordered the colonization of Puerto Rico, and several exploration expeditions. The most famous of these would be the expedition of Hernando Cortes in 1519 to the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico. But this expedition soon escaped Velazquez control when Cortes decided to disembark in the coasts of Tlaxcala and going beyond his orders, attack the Tlaxcalans, a nation subjugated by the Aztecs.Actions

Description
In 1510 Venice submitted to the Pope, thus lessening the league of Cambrai. Conditions were hard for Venice, the Republic had to renounce her traditional power to appoint bishops as well as all jurisdiction over Papal subjects in Venetian territory and was to compensate Pope Julius II for his war expenses needed to recapture the Papal holdings in Romagna, while the Pope accepted the humble request of the Republic for pardon, cancelling the interdict. But the reconciliation between Venice and the Pope did not stop the French to continue the war against Venice with attacks to her cities in Terraferma. Julius II, in the meanwhile, had become increasingly concerned by the growing French presence in Italy and formulated plans, both to chase the French out of the Po Valley and to seize the Duchy of Ferrara, a French ally, with the intention to add the territories of Modena, Reggio and Ferrara to the Papal States. In realizing his plan the Pope immediately excommunicated Alfonso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, declaring his fief forfeited for his remaining loyal to France, then he gained the military support of Venice, eager to recover her territories lost to the French a armies and hired an army of Swiss mercenaries to attack Milan as to isolate the French armies in Italy. However his plans failed as the French army managed to invade Romagna and occupy the cities of Bologna and Ravenna, supported by the powerful and celebrated artillery of Duke Alfonso d'Este. In addition, in response to Pope's switching sides, Louis XII of France convoked a Schismatic Council at Pisa as to have the 'Warrior Pope' deposed. Pope Julius II, having unsuccessfully pressed the Republic of Florence to refuse hosting the schismatic cardinals, proclaimed the Holy League against France and convoked a Council of his own to meet at the Lateran in Rome. The promise of territorial gains at French expense caused Ferdinand II of Aragon and Emperor Maximilian I to abandon their alliance with the French, and in October 1511, they joined the newly-formed Holy League together with Julius II and the Republic of Venice. In November, Henry VIII of England and the Swiss confederation joined as well.Actions

Description
The first attempt at a continental settlement, at the Eastern side of the Gulf of Darien (Cartagena), failed, and Vasco Nuñez de Balboa suggested the Western side (Isthmus). From there he took the expedition that discovered the Pacific Ocean in 1513. Balboa was popular, but run into problems with the authorities for expelling the inefficient Major of the city. A new administrator was sent from Spain, Pedro Arias de Avila, a 70 year old veteran commander in the wars of Granada and Africa. Cruel and unscrupulous, he was jealous of Balboa and although initially forced to declare him innocent, he would later bring him again to trial, and without possibility of defense or appeal, condem him and have him executed. The authorities were displeased and named a new governor, but he died on the same day he arrived. Since the living conditions in the Gulf of Darien region were appalling, and the diseases made prey on the colonists, Pedro Arias founded in 1519 the city of Panama, the first port in the Pacific, and moved there the capital in 1524. The colonists of Isthmus had received tales of a fabulous country towards the South, named Biru, with cities made of gold. Two adventurers, Francisco Pizarro and Diego Almagro made plans for the conquest of such place, sailing South from Panama. Pedro Arias bought a share in the society, but having lost confidence in the expedition, due to the initial failures, he sold his part in 1526. The same year he was finally deposed.Actions

In 1519 the King commissioned the Portuguese-born Magellan to reach the Spice Islands by sailing west around South America. After many hardships he succeeded in reaching and then sailing across the Pacific Ocean. Soon thereafter he was killed while trying to subdue the natives on what is now the island of Mactan in the Philippines. After still more hardships, one of his original five ships, Victoria, commanded by J. Sebastián Elcano eventually made it back to Spain. Only 18 out of initial approximatively 260 crew members made return to Spain after 3 years of navigation. Magellan's expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe definitively proving the roundness of the earth and the first to navigate the strait in South America connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Antonio Pigafetta, a wealthy tourist who paid to be on the voyage, kept an accurate journal of the trip and provided the only extant eyewitness account of the events culminating in Magellan's death.Actions

Description
The Fuggers were a peasant family of weavers from Augsburg during the 15th Century who rose through trade and transactions in money to Bankers of the Habsburgs and the Popes. Jakob Fugger the Rich (1511-1525) controlled European lead, silver and copper production and obtained a monopoly in quicksilver. Anton Fugger (1525-1560) had trading concessions in Chile, Peru and Moscow. However, the company declined by the end of the 16th Century because of state bankruptcies in Spain, family conflicts and lack of interest on the part of the heirs. Financial support from Jakob Fugger allowed young Carlos to win the Imperial crown over a more prestigious François Ier, something that the King of France never forgave him. However the rents of Castile were mortgaged for several years to pay back the 850,000 florins loaned by the Fuggers at high interest, and the added taxation greatly increased the unhappiness of the Castilians with their foreign King.Actions

Description
After the death of his grandfather the Emperor Maximilian I of Austria on 28 June 1519 Charles, King of Spain and Duke of Burgundy, became Holy Roman Emperor thanks to the money of his bankers (Fuggers and Welsers mainly) in a very expensive struggle with François Ier, King of France. Having proclaimed himself as the only legitimate heir of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor, François Ier had announced his candidature to the imperial election. Commonly all the electors were bribed in order to obtain their much desired vote, but Charles 'bought' the Imperial title by paying the Great Electors and their emissaries the huge sum of 850,000 golden florins (equal to a value of 2,100 kilograms of gold). That money was advanced by his bankers in anticipation of several years worth of Castilian rents. Charles's election was also eased by the Army of the Svevian league, which impressed the doubtful electors when chasing the Duke of Württemberg, chief of the pro-French party, out of his duchy. That denied François his last remote chance to win the election. Being elected Holy Roman Emperor as Charles V, Charles (Karl in the German world or Carlos in Spain) of the House of Habsburg became suzerain of all the fiefs in the Holy Roman Empire. Amongst them the Duchy of Milan together with its sovereignty over the Republic of Genoa formed the beginning of the so-called 'Spanish Road' a critical route that allowed communication by land between the Habsburgs's dominions.Actions

Description
With the discovery of the New World, the Spanish had to decide what to do with their new subjects. Unlike the Muslims, that could be enslaved, pagans were seen as not having rejected Christianity, and hence entitled to freedom and religious education. To educate and indoctrinate the indians, a feudal institution was transplanted from Spain to the New World in 1493: the encomienda. Within this system, a group of indians were entrusted to the encomendero, who theoretically had no jurisdiction over them, and had to provide for their instruction and indoctrination and could not mistreat them. In exchange the encomendero was to receive tributes from his indians, in the form of indian products or labor. The system could not work with an ocean between the rulers and the colonists, and soon the encomenderos were taking the land from the indians in their encomienda, and exploiting them cruelly, often to death. Although the production and trade of the colonies increased on the slave work of the indians, soon voices raised against the inhumane treatment of the indians and their likely consequences. Between them, the most ardent advocate of the indians was Fray Bartolome de las Casas, a Dominican priest, that had been an encomendero himself. But the encomenderos were the political force in the colonies, and they were not willing to renounce to the source of their wealth. They claimed that without indian labor the economy of the colonies would collapse. At the same time, the encomiendas served as a great incentive for the conquests of the continent, as the conquistadors granted the conquered land and indians as encomiendas to their soldiers.Actions

Description
The power that the Castilian cities had acquired in 1470 with the Santa Hermandad ended in 1498 when the Kings sided again with the nobility and disbanded it. The nobility continued to erode the cities position during the regency of Cisneros in 1516, so the commons were upset with Carlos delay to come to his realm. When 17 year old Carlos arrived from Burgundy, he illegally took the crown from his mad mother without much opposition, but he also behaved as a foreign King in a conquered country, appointing only Burgundians for government and extorting money from the cities, thus alienating both the nobles and the commons. When the chance to claim the imperial crown presented, Carlos extorted and mortgaged Castile rents to pay the Fuggers before leaving for Germany. The Castilian cities then revolted and formed the Santa Junta, defeating the scarce Royal forces, while the nobility stood aside unwilling to defend a King that had ignored their demands regarding court appointments. The rebels appealed to Juana the mad for support, but she was unwilling or unable to help them. With no other choice they turned to Carlos, ready to accept him if he was willing to return to the country, marry, reform his court, remove the foreigners and lower the taxes.Actions

In 1519 the artisans guild of Valencia was given permission to form a militia brotherhood (germania), to defend the coastline from Barbary pirates, but the guilds had a hidden agenda to use the Germania against the nobility. The arrival of a new viceroy in April 1520 precipitated the confrontation, and the guilds took control of Valencia. Soon battles erupted between the Germania and the nobles, spreading to Murcia and Mallorca. The Germania had also a marked anti-Muslim component, attacking the moriscos, sometimes forcing them to convert. This also eroded the economical power of the nobility, as the moriscos were their indentured serfs, and once converted they were freed from servitude. The King did not do anything, letting the nobles deal with the Germania. By March 1523 the Germania had been crushed and hundreds executed. The next year Charles issued a General Pardon.Actions

Description
After September 1520, the rebellion spread to the countryside. The Comuneros were quite heterogeneous already, and the rural classes were markedly revolutionary and directed the rebellion against the nobility, that until them was unsympathetic with the King's troubles. It was a fatal mistake. The nobles reacted to the threat negotiating with Carlos the concessions they wanted and then formed a strong army. Although defeated in February 1521, they recovered soon, and on April 23, they crushed the Comuneros army at Villalar executing their leaders the following day. By February 1522, the last Comuneros surrendered and Carlos could afford to be magnanimous and issued a General Pardon to all but the main leaders. Carlos returned to Spain in 1522, married an Iberian woman, Isabel of Portugal, and appointed Spanish nobles to government. These were many of the Comuneros demands, but they were done on Carlos terms, after humbling the cities and restoring his relationships with the nobles.Actions

Description
Under the unique colonization model adopted by Spain, the Capitulación, the conquest and colonization was not funded by the state, neither left to the private initiative, nor entrusted to monopolistic trading companies. The Capitulación was a contract by which the State retained full control of the conquest and colonization, that was to be carried out by private individuals under a credit system based on the hypothetical riches to be found. The Adelantado, who had to advance the cost, and was in charge also of colonizing the assigned territory, if succesful received land grants and titles, and retained 4/5 of the bounty to pay the cost and as profit. The crown provided nothing but paperwork. The system proved wildly succesful until it started to create problems to control such huge territory, and was carefully regulated and toned down in the Regulations of 1573. After that date, Capitulaciones became unfrequent.Actions

Description
When the Order of St. John was expelled from Rhodes in 1523, it underwent a crisis. Their possessions were being confiscated all over Europe, by both Catholic and Protestant rulers, their income was shrinking and their recruits stopped coming. They desperately needed a base, preferably by reconquering Rhodes, otherwise an island in the Aegean, but no one would help and Venice actively opposed them. Europe was at war and there was no place for their neutrality. The Emperor Carlos however came up with a master idea. He offered Malta to the Hospitallers. Malta was difficult to defend from the growing Ottoman power, but the Knights were a tough breed. They would give their lives defending his shipping lines to Sicily. In 1524 the Hospitallers sent a commission to Malta. Their report was very negative. The island could not sustain itself and the defences were very poor. Then Carlos decided to include Tripoli as part of an all or nothing deal. The Knights thought even less of Tripoli. They did not have the resources to upgrade its defenses. But having no other option, the Chapter General decided in 1527 to accept the offer despite the opposition of the French Langues. They still had hopes of recovering Rhodes, but in 1530 they gave up and moved to Malta, taking possession also of Tripoli. From then on, the Spaniards and the Knights of St. John would fight their battles in North Africa together.Actions

Description
It was just a matter of time before the Ottomans attacked Malta. In May 1565, a powerful fleet from the Ottomans and their allies the Barbary pirates, arrived to the island and landed an army of 40,000. Against them were 540 knights, 400 Spaniards and 4,000 Maltese. Fort St. Elmo lasted 5 weeks of furious fights until almost all its defenders were killed. By then 600 Spaniards from Sicily had arrived to the city. The fighting continued all summer taking the lives of 5000 defenders with the Turkish loses three times higher, including the famous pirate Dragut. In early September, when the defenders were at their last resistance, help from Spain finally arrived under command of Álvaro de Bazán and García de Toledo. The Turks, low on morale, panicked and abandoned the island.Actions

Description
Antonio Pigafetta belonged to a rich family of Vicenza. In his youth he studied astronomy, geography and cartography. He served on board the galleys of the order of St. John at the beginning of 16th century. In 1519 he accompanied the Papal Nuncio, Monsignor Chieregati, to Spain where he was presented to the Emperor Carlos I (V). There he heard of the trip of Magellan and negotiated to be admitted as a paying passenger, a supernumerary. In spite of initial difficulties with Magellan, he managed to gain his confidence and served as a chronicler and cartographer for him. During the trip, Pigafetta collected information about geography, the climate, the flora, the fauna and the inhabitants of the visited places. His meticulous notes were to serve as invaluable documents to future explorers and cartographers, mainly due to their focus on nautical and linguistic data. In the battle at Mactan, Philippines, in which Magellan was killed, Pigafetta also was hurt. Nevertheless, he managed to recover and was among the 18 on board the Victoria who accompanied Juan Sebastián Elcano in his return to Spain. After reaching port in Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cadiz) in September of 1522, three years after his departure, he recollected his experiences in 'Relations of the First Round-the-world Trip', composed in Italian and published in Venice. After that voyage Pigafetta returned to Italy where he died in his native city in 1534.Actions

Description
In debt with his German bankers, Emperor Carlos decided to grant Bartholomäus Welser a concession to exploit Venezuela, or as they called it, Klein-Venedig. Trying to quickly recoup the money, the Welser hired several young Germans to conduct expeditions to find one of those mountains of gold and treasures that the Spaniards were finding everywhere. They were Nikolaus Federmann (Nicolás Federman), Georg von Speyer (Jorge de la Espira) and Philipp von Hutten (Felipe de Utre). They conducted several German explorations departing from Santa Ana de Coro (Tocuvo) and became embroiled in the myth of El Dorado, but found no riches, and many of the Germans found death in the jungle. The Welser then turned to squeeze Venezuela as much as possible to try to recover their money, leading to complaints, and a lengthy trial, 1541-56, that ended in the revocking of the concession to the Welser.Actions

The Capitulación was a contract by which the State retained full control of the conquest and colonization, that was to be carried out by private individuals under a credit system based on the hypothetical riches to be found. The Adelantado, who had to advance the cost, and was in charge also of colonizing the assigned territory, if succesful received land grants and titles, and retained 4/5 of the bounty to pay the cost and as profit. The crown provided nothing but paperwork. The system proved wildly succesful until it started to create problems to control such huge territory, and was carefully regulated and toned down in the Regulations of 1573. After that date, Capitulaciones became unfrequent.Actions

Action B of 17381 - The second Florentine Republic for Tuscany
Description
The Emperor believed that peace had finally been achieved with France after François Ier agreed to renounce his claims in Italy. But within two months of his release, Francis had retracted from his word and signed the league of Cognac, bringing into it the Pope, Milan, Florence, Venice and England. But for Giulio de Medici, Pope Clement VII, it was a huge mistake to take sides with France, as Rome was sacked by the Lutheran German mercenaries of Charles under lack of pay. Charles got his army under control, and Clement became his prisoner, and had to pay 300,000 ducats and surrender several fortresses for his release. But in the meantime, the Florentines had raised and expelled the Medici, declaring a Republic, and part of the Papal States also wanted to become independent. Now Clement needed Charles more than the emperor needed the Pope and a deal was struck. Charles agreed to restore the Papal States, to return Florence to Medici rule, to name Clement's illegitimate son from a black slave Alessandro Medici, il Moro, hereditary Duke of Florence and to give him his own illegitimate daughter from a Flemish servant, Margaret of Austria, in marriage. In exchange Clement will crown him as emperor and will become his lifelong ally. The treaty of Barcelona was signed on June 29, 1529, and Clement and Charles will meet at Bologna at the end of the year, with the crowning taking place on February 24, 1530 in the same city. Charles V will be the last Holy Roman Emperor to be crowned by a Pope. A consequence of this alliance will be that Clement will refuse the divorce of Henry VIII from the emperor's aunt, Catalina, even at the cost of driving England into Protestantism.Actions

Having found the Inca empire, Francisco Pizarro had to assure his rights to conquest it, as he was opposed by the new governor of Panama. He agreed with Diego de Almagro to equally divide the rights and titles, and travelled to the court with the Royal Fifth of all the riches they had previously found. Impressed with the gold, King Carlos I of Spain granted the right of conquest of Peru to him. But Pizarro did not keep his word to Almagro, and kept all the important titles and rights for himself.

Action B of 285075 - The Treaty of Barcelona between the Emperor and the Pope for Spain
Description
In late 1529, according to the treaty stipulated in Barcelona a few months before, Charles V came to Bologna to meet the Pope. Princes and ambassadors of all Italian states came to this encounter with the intention to confirm their allegiance to the Empire. Charles V used his strengthened political influence to definitely settle the Italian balance of powers and the conflicts between the Italian minors that deceitfully used to switch sides between France and the Empire. According to Mercurino da Gattinara's advices Charles V granted independence to all the imperial fiefs and, with the mediation of Pope Clemens VII, even to Francesco Sforza who was reinstated in his duchy in spite of his joining the league of Cognac. Pope Clemens VII instead, receiving the territory of Parma was to renounce his claims to Modena and Ferrara and to promise to arrange for a Concile in the next future to discuss about the Reform of the Church. Settled the political affairs in the peninsula, Charles was crowned by Pope Clement VII King of Italy on 22 February 1530 and Holy Roman Emperor two day later, in two solemn ceremonies arranged in Bologna. The imperial crown was a really big gift for his 30th birthday: Charles V resulted, in facts, the last Holy Roman Emperor in history to be personally crowned by the Pope.Actions

Description
Pizarro had become a prisoner of his prisoner. Releasing him was out of the question, as he would immediately order the attack by massive armies, and keeping him was becoming more and more dangerous. Atahuallpa had ordered the execution of his brother from his prison, and the Spaniards feared that he could sooner or later order an attack despite the risk to his life. Two sides were split in Pizarro's band of men: while most wanted to kill Atahuallpa, some saw it as dishonorable and unlawful, as Atahuallpa had complied with all their requests. Finally Pizarro took the decision, and a mock trial was set up. Atahuallpa was accused of repeatedly rejecting conversion, incestuous relationship with his sister and killing his brother, all of them true, and sentenced to death. Since he was going to burn at the stake he accepted conversion to avoid a death that would prevent his eternal life, as the one he had given his brother. He was therefore strangled. The King of Spain was highly displeased with the killing of a monarch but it was too late to do anything about it. The decision, however, proved to be strategically correct, as without his emperor the Inca empire collapsed into the hands of the Spaniards.Actions

The Northern part of the Inca domains still carried the scars from its recent incorporation into the Tahuantinsuyo (Inca Empire), followed by its devastating civil war. The Cañaris Indians after being defeated and annexed by Huayna Capac, had taken the side of Huascar, and had suffered almost extermination at the hands of Atahuallpa. The Chachapoyas, Cajamarcas, Chimor, Chancas and Huancas also hated the Inca, and they approached Pizarro, together with some of the defeated Huascar Cuzcans. They were all grateful for the killing of the hated Atahuallpa, and their Curacas (noble leaders) offered their alliance to Pizarro. In the way to Cuzco, more Chachapoyas and Cañaris that had been forcefully relocated there also joined him. The local help would be instrumental in the quick demise of the Inca.Actions

The alliance against the Holy Roman Emperor, signed by the most Christian King François Ier of France and the Sultan Suleiman of the Ottoman Empire, resulted in attacks by the Turks every time France entered war against Spain. The most destructive raid was the one produced after the invasion of Milan by France in 1542. Barbarossa, on command of a huge Ottoman and Barbary fleet, raided the coasts of Italy, joining later a French fleet under command of the Duke of Enghien at Marseilles and both proceeded to attack Nice. At the arrival of Andrea Doria and Alfonso de Avalos, they retreated to Toulon for winter, where the churches were prohibited from ringing their bells, and Christian slaves were openly sold between Turks and pirates. While at Toulon, a fleet was dispatched to sack the coasts of Spain. After the peace of Crepy between France and Spain, Barbarossa returned to Istanbul, pillaging the coasts of Tuscany and Naples in the way.Actions

The great riches of the Aztecs and Inca excited the imagination of the Spanish conquistadors, that dreamed of finding another of such treasures. Sebastián de Benalcázar was one of the captains of Pizarro, in charge of conquering Quito, but when he arrived he found the place burnt to the ground by the Inca general Rumiñavi, and no hint of the supposed riches. Rumiñavi died without saying a word, but one of the captives spoke of a region towards the North, where a very rich chieftain used to cover himself in gold powder before bathing in a sacred lake to which gold offerings were also thrown. The name of the chieftain was El Dorado, or the gilded one. Soon the name was applied to his supposedly fabulously rich Kingdom, and Benalcázar started to prepare his expedition in search of El Dorado.Actions

After the peace of Cambrai, Carlos decided to reorganize his troops in Italy. In his reformation of 1534, he created the Tercios, based on the previous reforms of el Gran Capitán, while modernizing them. Each Tercio was constituted by 3000 men divided in three regiments and 12 companies and was commanded by a Field Marshall. For the first time it included an army command staff that took care of administrative and judicial tasks as well as participating in the military decisions. The elimination of swordsmen allowed an increase in the number of pikers and arquebusiers which carried a sword to fight at close range, resulting in an increase of the Tercios firepower, their main characteristic. The soldiers of the Tercio were all volunteers trained within the regiment giving the units a great cohesion that always allowed them to attack or retreat in good order, greatly increasing their efficiency. The first Tercios formed where those of Naples, Sicily, Sardinia and Lombardy. They were called the old Tercios. Later new Tercios were created, including the Sea Tercios as the first specific units of marines of the world, and the Flandern Tercios in 1567. The reformation was very successful, and over a century the Spanish Tercios were considered invincible. The Tercios will last until 1704 when they were dissolved by Felipe V to adopt a French regiment organization.Actions

After the pact between François Ier of France and the Ottoman Sultan in 1527, Carlos found his empire in a difficult situation. The Turks usally sent their fleets to ravage his coasts, coinciding and even coordinating with French attacks. To avoid complete Ottoman control of the Mediterranean, he took Tunis in 1535. The new Governor of Oran, Martín Alonso de Cordoba, the Count of Alcaudete, was ordered to lead an expedition against Tlemcen, that was shifting towards the Ottoman side. At Prevesa, in the Albanian coast, the combined fleets of Spain, Venice, Genoa and Papal States under command of imperial admiral Andrea Doria, were defeated by the Ottoman-Barbary fleet under Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa. Although loses were small and mostly Venetian, since Doria refused to fight, its effect was to give supremacy in the Eastern Mediterranean to the Ottomans. Besides the expedition of Alcaudete, something needed to be done to maintain Spanish supremacy, at least in the Western Mediterranean, and so Carlos ordered a naval expedition against Al-Djazaîr (Algiers).Actions

Under the unique colonization model adopted by Spain, the Capitulación, the conquest and colonization was not funded by the state, neither left to the private initiative, nor entrusted to monopolistic trading companies. The Capitulación was a contract by which the State retained full control of the conquest and colonization, that was to be carried out by private individuals under a credit system based on the hypothetical riches to be found. The Adelantado, who had to advance the cost, and was in charge also of colonizing the assigned territory, if succesful received land grants and titles, and retained 4/5 of the bounty to pay the cost and as profit. The crown provided nothing but paperwork.

Description
The legend of El Dorado became the personal obsession of Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, a lawyer turned into conquistador, that in 1536 departed Santa Marta in the Northern coast of Colombia with 900 men towards the interior. The expedition was epic due to the difficulties found, and finally 178 men under his command reached the valleys inhabited by the Muisca, also called the Chibcha. They were one of the most advanced cultures in América, and extremely rich due to their mining of emeralds, copper and salt, that traded for gold to other tribes. In one year Quesada and his band had conquered the estimated one million Muiscas using the tipical conquistador tactics of using internal divisions and seizing the zipa (ruler) and using him as a puppet before putting him to trial and executing him. The treasure seized was amazing, and third only to the Aztec and Inca treasures. The royal fifth amounted to 70 kg of gold and 576 emeralds. However Quesada, now inmensely rich but with troubles with the authorities due to his mistreatment of the Indians, was convinced that this treasure was only a small part of what he could get if he was capable of finding El Dorado.Actions

Description
The new Emperor Manco Inca, was in fact a prisoner in his own palace, humiliated by the Spaniards. As the atrocities against his people became known to Manco Inca, he began to develop a hatred for them. Hernando Pizarro finally restored Manco Inca's freedom and dignity, but it was too late. Villac Umu counseled Manco Inca to send out secret orders for gathering weapons and large crop plantings in preparation for war with the Spaniards. He made his move around Easter 1536. Having won the trust of Hernando, he was granted permission to attend a ceremony northwest of Cuzco, instead he and Villac Umu convened a war council in the mountains. When Manco Inca did not return, Hernando Pizarro realized the mistake he made by letting him go, an Inca counterattack seemed imminent. Soon an army numbering in the tens of thousands was besieging the Spanish held city of Cuzco, and another Inca army was sighted heading towards the Spanish stronghold of Lima. Manco's warriors annihilated every relief column sent from Lima to Cuzco. An alarmed Francisco Pizarro sent frantic letters to every Spanish possession in the new world asking for reinforcements, and hoping that he could hold back the Inca armies until help arrived...Actions

Description
It took many months, but finally help arrived in the form of reinforcements from Ecuador, Panama, Nicaragua, and the Caribbean. Cortez sent supplies from Mexico, even from Spain the Queen sent 50 arquebusiers and 50 crossbowmen. And from the south, an angry Almagro was returning from his adventure in Chile, upon learning that his share of the Inca empire consisted of deserts and wasteland. This signaled the collapse of Manco's rebellion, who then fled with his followers deeper and deeper into the Amazon rainforest, and waged a low level guerilla war against the Spanish that would continue for decades.Actions

Description
The alliance against the Holy Roman Emperor, signed by the most Christian King François Ier of France and the Sultan Suleiman of the Ottoman Empire, resulted in attacks by the Turks every time France entered war against Spain. The most destructive raid was the one produced after the invasion of Milan by France in 1542. Barbarossa, on command of a huge Ottoman and Barbary fleet, raided the coasts of Italy, joining later a French fleet under command of the Duke of Enghien at Marseilles and both proceeded to attack Nice. At the arrival of Andrea Doria and Alfonso de Avalos, they retreated to Toulon for winter, where the churches were prohibited from ringing their bells, and Christian slaves were openly sold between Turks and pirates. While at Toulon, a fleet was dispatched to sack the coasts of Spain. After the peace of Crepy between France and Spain, Barbarossa returned to Istanbul, pillaging the coasts of Tuscany and Naples in the way.Actions

Description
At Francesco II Sforza's death, the Duchy of Milan reverted to the Empire and as Charles V newly rejected the French Orléans candidature to the Milanese throne, François Ier, King of France, planned a new military campaign in Italy against Charles V, this time with the help of the Turk. At first the French King attacked Savoy, because Duke Charles III refused French military access through his possessions, and annexed it with the assertion he had a dynastical claim to it. Deeply annoyed by this behaviour, Charles V sent an expeditionary force to conquer Provence, once imperial land. The expedition unfortunately failed while the scary Ottoman menace over Italy led Pope Paulus III to warmly invite the two contenders to make peace and form a Christian league in order to face the Turks. In 1538 in Nice a decennial truce was concluded with Papal support. But that cease-fire couldn't last too long. In 1542 Milan had to face a new French attack which resulted in an imperial heavy defeat at Ceresole in Piemonte, but although northern Italy totally fell under French control, at the same time English and Spanish-Imperial troops attacked France from both sides: even Paris was under menace. Lack of supplies and low troops reinforcements brought Charles V to eventually sign a peace treaty with François Ier at Crépy in late 1544. With that treaty France was recognized possession of Piemonte, still under French control and in spite of Savoyard legal claims to those lands, instead the Emperor was confirmed suzerainty over the duchy of Milan. That treaty also stated that François Ier had to renounce his claims to Naples, Flanders and Artois, while Charles V had to abandon any claim to the duchy of Bourgogne, ancestral Burgundian feud. It was also agreed that a diplomatic marriage had to be arranged between the youngest of François's sons, Charles Duke of Orléans and, either the Emperor's daughter (bringing Flanders and Franche-Comté as dowry) or the Emperor's niece and Ferdinand's daughter (bringing Milan as dowry). That would be by Emperor's choice. After two month's thoughts, Charles V decided to concede his daughter as spouse to Charles of Orléans, together with the dowry of Milan. However, in late 1545 the sudden death of Charles of Orléans liberated Charles V from the treaty's obligations and on 5 July 1546 he could invest his son Don Felipe with the Duchy of Milan. With this act, the imperial fief of Milan became definitively direct dominion of the Spanish line of the House of Habsburg.Actions

Description
Fray Bartolome de las Casas was not alone in his defense of Indian rights. Many other priests and some officials in the colonies denounced the abuses and atrocities. The Emperor and his court were horrified. After the conquest of New Spain (the Inca), Charles was displeased in the bloody way that it had been conducted by Pizarro and decided to regulate the treatment and rights of the Indians through legislation, according to the advice from Las Casas. The New Laws enacted in 1542 forbade any kind of slavery and forced labor, allowed ownership of land by the Indians, and stated that the Church had no authority over non-Christian natives. They also forbade the stablishment of new encomiendas and reduced the size of existing ones. The New Laws caused quite a stir in the colonies and it was predicted that they would bring ruin to the colonists.Actions

Description
Under the unique colonization model adopted by Spain, the Capitulación, the conquest and colonization was not funded by the state, neither left to the private initiative, nor entrusted to monopolistic trading companies. The Capitulación was a contract by which the State retained full control of the conquest and colonization, that was to be carried out by private individuals under a credit system based on the hypothetical riches to be found. The Adelantado, who had to advance the cost, and was in charge also of colonizing the assigned territory, if succesful received land grants and titles, and retained 4/5 of the bounty to pay the cost and as profit. The crown provided nothing but paperwork. The system proved wildly succesful until it started to create problems to control such huge territory, and was carefully regulated and toned down in the Regulations of 1573. After that date, Capitulaciones became unfrequent.Actions

Action B of 285046 - The New Law for Spain
Description
With the New Laws that changed the system of encomiendas, the conquistadors believed that the King was depriving them of the just reward for their efforts and suffering. When the intransigent Viceroy Blasco Nuñez de Vela arrived to Lima to enforce the New Laws, a rebellion of encomenderos started in Peru, leaded by Gonzalo Pizarro, brother of Francisco. After killing the Viceroy, part of the rebels sailed to Panama, conquering the city. The rebellion lasted for four years, until 1548, when Gonzalo Pizarro was defeated in the battle of Jaquijahuana and beheaded. However the rebellions and protests had two important effects. The New Laws were amended, and although the slavery continued abolished, and the worst abuses prevented, the encomiendas were in fact sanctioned, much to the dismay of Las Casas. Similar systems to the encomiendas were also implemented by Portugal, France and Holland in their colonies. The other important effect was that the Royal Council forbade any new conquest unless the Council of the Indies deemed them esential. This policy was reversed in the 1560s due to the advance of the rival European powers.Actions

Description
Taking advantage of the fights between different tribes in Tlemcen, the count of Alcaudete, military governor of Spanish Oran, supported the Banu Rashid to dethrone Muhammad and install his brother Ahmad in 1545. Muhammad sought the help of Hassan Pasha, ruler of Al-Djazaîr and son of Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa, and was restored with the help of the Turks. Alcaudete attacked in 1547, but was driven back by the Turks. Meanwhile, in Morocco, the pro-Turkish Wattasid sultan Ahmad, was defeated by the Sa'did Muhammad al-Shaykh (al-Mahdi), who then invaded Tlemcen putting and end to 300 years of Zayyanid rule there. The Turkish reaction under agha Hasan Quru however drove them out. Tlemcen was under Turkish control, but disputed by Moroccans and Spanish.Actions

Action B of 285137 - Civil war in Tlemcen for Spain
Description
The fall of Tlemcen into Ottoman hands in 1551 put Spanish Oran in a mortal danger. Martín Alonso de Cordoba, the count of Alcaudete, military governor of Oran, entered into an alliance with the sultan of Morocco, Muhammad al-Shaykh, to drive the Turks from Tlemcen. However the Ottoman sultan Suleiman dispatched spies that assassinated Muhammad al-Shaykh in 1557. Having lost this ally for an attack on Algiers, Alcaudete marched with an army of 12,000 on Mustaghanim (Mostaganem) the next year. But tribes and the Turkish forces of Hasan Quru totalling over 70,000 men defeated them. Alcaudete was killed, and his son and most of the army were captured. The next year many of them would abjure from their beliefs to escape slavery. Tlemcen disappeared as a country, firmly in the hands of the pashas of Al-Djazaîr, named by the Ottoman Empire. Tripoli was lost in 1551, Bugia in 1555, and Tunis in 1570. Spain had lost the North African game, but will successfully defend Oran and Melilla from recurrent attacks for centuries.Actions

Description
The massive conversion of Jews and the expulsion of those unwilling to convert did not end the religious and racial tensions in Spain. In fact, due to their higher education and wealth, the converts soon reached positions not available to them before their conversion. The Spanish society of the Old Christians reacted to them with rejection, but the problem was how to identify them. The solution was the Statutes of Blood Cleanliness, that demanded that to achieve a certain position, the candidate was required to demonstrate that his ancestors were Old Christians. They were imposed by the society against the wishes of the Kings and popes starting in Toledo in 1449. Gradually some university colleges, religious orders and military orders were imposing them. Cases of false converts discovered by the Inquisition between friars fueled them, leading to a papal approval in 1496. The priest Juan Martinez Siliceo was named religious educator of prince Felipe by the Emperor Carlos, and was rewarded with the position of Archbishop of Toledo, and later Cardinal. He was an intransigent fanatic, and he was able to impose the Statutes of Blood Cleanliness in the Church in 1547 despite important opposition. Soon they were extended to any position of responsibility, both public and private. The Status were an important factor in the obsession with racial purity and lineage that overtook the Spanish society for 200 years, since it was essential to have a clean lineage to advance in the society.Actions

Description
Under the unique colonization model adopted by Spain, the Capitulación, the conquest and colonization was not funded by the state, neither left to the private initiative, nor entrusted to monopolistic trading companies. The Capitulación was a contract by which the State retained full control of the conquest and colonization, that was to be carried out by private individuals under a credit system based on the hypothetical riches to be found. The Adelantado, who had to advance the cost, and was in charge also of colonizing the assigned territory, if succesful received land grants and titles, and retained 4/5 of the bounty to pay the cost and as profit. The crown provided nothing but paperwork. The system proved wildly succesful until it started to create problems to control such huge territory, and was carefully regulated and toned down in the Regulations of 1573. After that date, Capitulaciones became unfrequent.Actions

Description
The Knights Hospitallers took care of the defense of Tripoli after his cession by Carlos for over 20 years. Provisioned by the Viceroy of Sicily and with the help of a Spanish garrison, the Order even considered moving their see there. However in 1551 they were attacked by a huge Ottoman army under command of Sinan Pasha and Dragut. There were very few Knights in Tripoli, and the Spanish soldiers from Calabria refused to fight, and so Tripoli was surrendered almost without fight. In 1560 the Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette enticed the Viceroy of Sicily, Juan de la Cerda, Duke of Medinaceli to attempt its recovery, but the expedition, approved by Felipe II, was a complete failure, since Tripoli had been converted into a stronghold by huge Ottoman defensive works under the direction of Dragut.Actions

Description
The Spaniards reacted to the death of Valdivia and the Araucanian offensive with a military response. In 1557 Francisco de Villagra killed the Toqui (war leader) Lautaro, and the next year his successor Caupolicán was killed by the new governor, García Hurtado de Mendoza. Although the Spaniards suffered a few setbacks, for the most part of this phase of the war they were victorious and by 1570 the Arauco was apparently pacified by Pedro de Villagra and Rodrigo de Quiroga. One of García Hurtado's captains was the poet Alonso de Ercilla, who wrote his masterwork La Araucana based on these events. However the Araucanians were far from pacified but were only taking a respite from plagues and defeats.Actions

The Capitulación was a contract by which the State retained full control of the conquest and colonization, that was to be carried out by private individuals under a credit system based on the hypothetical riches to be found. The Adelantado, who had to advance the cost, and was in charge also of colonizing the assigned territory, if succesful received land grants and titles, and retained 4/5 of the bounty to pay the cost and as profit. The crown provided nothing but paperwork. The system proved wildly succesful until it started to create problems to control such huge territory, and was carefully regulated and toned down in the Regulations of 1573. After that date, Capitulaciones became unfrequent.Actions

Description
Felipe II could dedicate very little attention and resources to the Mediterranean, as busy as he was with the rebellion in the Low Countries. However in 1565 his help was required by the Hospitallers to defend Malta against a combined assault by the Ottomans and Barbary pirates. The victory was very important because it put a clear limit to how far would the Ottoman Empire capable of projecting his power. However the Ottoman Empire was at his peak, as the capture of Tunis in 1569 demonstrated. The capture of Cyprus in 1571, triggered the formation of a Holy League, mainly formed by Spain, Venice and Papal States, with the combined fleet under command of Don Juan de Austria. The interests of Venice and Spain were very different: Venice wanted to recover Cyprus, and Spain wanted to recover her North African presidios, and they could only agree in fighting the Ottoman navy. The ensuing battle at Lepanto was the biggest naval battle in modern times with over 32,000 casualties (by comparison Trafalgar had only 3,000), 25,000 of them in the Ottoman side. The Ottoman fleet was almost completely destroyed. News of the victory were extremely well received by the Christians that suffered the Ottoman and Barbary piracy. Although the Ottomans rebuilt their fleet and recaptured Tunis a second time in 1574, their naval supremacy in the Mediterranean was destroyed forever.Actions

Description
In 1556 Emperor Charles decided to abdicate and before his retirement to the monastery of Yuste in Extremadura, he passed his imperial title to his brother Ferdinand, who he already entrusted with the government of the Habsburg hereditary lands in 1521 and supported his election as King of the Romans in 1531, making him his designated heir as Emperor. After Charles's abdication, Ferdinand would have assumed the title of Holy Roman Emperor, Charles seemingly having agreed to exclude his own son Felipe from the succession to the Austrian line of the House of Habsburg, which instead passed to Ferdinand's eldest son Maximilian as much as the imperial title.Actions

Description
On the twenty-fifth day of October, 1555, the estates of the Netherlands were assembled in the great hall of the palace at Brussels. They had been summoned to be witnesses and the guarantees of the abdication, which Charles V had long before resolved upon, and which he was that day to execute. Charles was a devotee catholic and compassionate with other people, but he could not see why anyone would not come back to the only church there was, the Catholic Church. The incessant strife, both religious and political, within the Holy Roman Empire had worn him down. Therefore he wanted to split the Habsburg Empire between Madrid and Vienna and then withdraw to the calm milieu of his favorite cloister. Let the rash and youthful take care of the problems!Actions

The French troops had to abandon the strongholds of Turin, Chieri, Pinerolo, Chivasso and Asti except those in the Marquisate of Saluzzo whose territory was assigned to France. Only in 1575 both French and Spanish troops freed the ducal territory of their presence.Actions

Description
Carlos was an absent King, as he spent 31 of his 40 years as King of Spain abroad. He was always considered a foreigner in Spain. But his son Felipe spent all his time in Spain, and from 1541 he was Governor of this Kingdom. When he becomes King in 1556, the Habsburgs finally come to Spain, and they need a palace, a central seat for the government, and a proper burial place for the new dynasty. Felipe will chose a central point in the peninsula to create his new capital, the small city of Madrid. After ordering the construction of the Monastery of El Escorial, Felipe will move his government to Madrid in 1561. Madrid will remain the capital of Spain except for a brief interval between 1601-1606, when the Duke of Lerma, prime minister of King Felipe III, will convince him to move it to Valladolid to escape criticism for his bad government.Actions

Description
With Felipe II, the King of Spain finally came to Spain, and he chose a central place for his court, Madrid. But the new capital lacked a Palace, a central Government building and a proper place for the burial of the new Habsburg dynasty - the Spanish Line. Guided by his profound religiousness and a practical sense, Felipe decided to unite everything in the same place, a monastery dedicated to Saint Lawrence to celebrate the victory over the French at Saint-Quentin on August 10, 1557, that Saint's day. The monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial took 21 years to complete in the form of a severely rectilinear complex, with numerous internal courtyards, modeled on the grill on which Saint Lawrence was martyred (roasted to death). Despite its Habsburg austere religious style, it contained the best library on old manuscripts after the Vatican Library. From the royal chambers surrounding the basilica's main altar, the empire were the sun never set was ruled by the Prudent King.Actions

Description
After the disaster of Mustaghanim, in 1558, the military governor of Oran was Alonso de Córdoba, the new Conde de Alcaudete. He ransomed his father's body for 2000 ducats and his brother Martín in 1561 for 23,333 ducats that he obtained from a pillaging expedition into Moorish territory. In 1563, after the failure of Medinaceli in Tripoli, and the loss of Djerba, where Dragut made a pyramid with the skulls of the garrison, the Beylerbey Hassan Pasha, son of Barbarossa, decided to attack Oran. The Ottoman fleet had 32 galleys and 3 French round ships. The army was constituted of 1,000 Spahis, 15,000 Janissaries, and over 12,000 Kabyles and Arabs, contributed by the Sultan of Koukou and the Banu-Abba tribe. The assaults started in April on Mazalquivir, defended by Martín de Córdoba and 200 men. Time after time the Muslims were repelled. The son of the Sultan of Koukou died, Hassan was wounded, but their troops reached the walls of the fortification. On the last assault, on June 7, Martín was also wounded. Then news arrived that a powerful Christian fleet under command of Gian Andrea Doria and Francisco de Mendoza was on its way. Hassan Pasha called for an all out assault, but the Janissaries refused, and he had to escape, leaving behind all his artillery, and having lost 4,000 men, four galleys and the three French transports. Only 130 survivors remained in Mazalquivir. Maintenance of Oran, however, was becoming a burden. The Council of State asked for reports to study the possibility of leaving Oran and keeping only Mazalquivir, but without the first, the second was untenable, and so it was decided in 1574 to keep both. A great investment was made to upgrade the fortifications, designed by Antonelli, and the castle of Santa Cruz was built in 1577.Actions

The Philippines had been discovered by Magellan in 1524, in his expedition around the world. They were given their name in the expedition of Villalobos of 1542, to honor prince Philip, future King of Spain. Andres de Urdaneta, a sailor in that expedition, that had become a friar, claimed that he could find a way of returning from the East Indies to Mexico accross the Pacific, a trip that in 40 years had only been done in the opposite way. His claim raised the interest of the authorities and an expedition was organized. Urdaneta wanted to go to New Guinea, and island discovered by the Spaniards. The expedition was put under command of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. When they departed from Barra de Navidad (Jalisco) on November 21, 1564, they opened the orders that commanded them to the Philippines and Urdaneta accepted them. After reaching the islands and exploring them, and while Legazpi started the conquest, Urdaneta sailed Northwest until he discovered the current of Kuro Siwo, that took him for the first time, back to America, arriving to Acapulco in October 1565. The return trip was very long and dangerous, taking from 5 to 7 months, but it was very important because it stablished the connexion of the Philippines to the rest of the empire, allowing the viability of its colonization. The conquest of the Philippines led Charles V to declare that in his realms the sun never set, a phrase that became popular for future empires also.Actions

Description
In the Philippines, Spain found herself fighting the expansion of Islam at the other end of the world, the same it had started doing in the Iberian peninsula. The conquest of the Philippines was for Spain the most difficult of all. However it also compensated the effort. In Philippines existed a colony of Chinese traders, and Europe longed for Chinese wares. However China was self-suficcient. The only product that China sought was silver, and Spain produced silver in Mexico and Peru. Additionally, the Eastern route from Philippines to Spain around the Cape of Good Hope was closed by the Dutch, so an indirect trade route was established by a fleet that connected Manila to Acapulco, and then by land to Veracruz, where the fleet of Indias would take the trade to Sevilla. Almost every year, a fleet would depart from Acapulco to Manila loaded with silver, and another would depart from Manila to Acapulco loaded with spices, silkcloths and chinaware. The benefits were enormous, between 300 and 500 percent, and the arrival of the Manila galleon constituted one of the main events in Mexico and Spain, as people were fascinated with their products. Protectionist measures from the traders in Sevilla regulated the number of ships to two merchant galleons plus escorts, and the galleons from Manila became the biggest ships built in their time.Actions

Description
By the mid-16th Century the Morisque population in the former Kingdom of Granada was increasing faster than the Christian population. Coupled with their failure to integrate into the greater Christian society and their nominal allegiance to Christianity they were seen as a threat by the Spanish authorities to the integrity of Christian Spain itself. Their less than covert aid to Muslim raiders and pirates off the coast of Spain only reinforced the fears of the authorities who were already greatly concerned over the rising power of the Muslim Ottoman Turks. Under the leadership of Suleiman the Magnificent the Turks were asserting control over the entire Eastern Mediterranean and threatened Italy and Sicily as well.For their part the Morisques felt threatened by ever-mounting taxes on the silk trade that furnished the basis for their livelihoods and Spanish challenges to their land titles. They tried to negotiate with the King to resolve their differences, but Felipe II would have nothing to do with their proposals. They responded by revolting on Christmas Eve, 1568. They had a number of early successes, aided by the lack of Spanish troops who'd recently been sent to reinforce the Duke of Alba's forces in the Netherlands as well as aid from their co-religionists in North Africa, but they were eventually overwhelmed by forces led by Don Juan de Austria, half-brother of Felipe II. As punishment the King decreed that they be deported to other provinces of Castile in order to break up the cohesive communities that reinforced their isolation from Christian society. Christian colonists were recruited from Castile to replace the Morisques, although this policy proved to be less than completely successful.

Description
Felipe II was only married for one year to Maria Manuela of Portugal from whom he had a heir, prince Carlos, before she died. However soon it was evident that Carlos had some mental disease. He was incoherent, sadistic, choleric, and unpredictable, frightening those around him, and filling the court with anxiety about the future of the Kingdom in such hands. His madness was manifested in many ways, but the most famous one was when he tried to run away to the Low Countries to take command of the Protestants against his own father. The situation was unsustainable, especially when he started to attack with knives and swords significant members of the court like the Duke of Alba or his uncle Don Juan. On the night of the 18th of January, 1568, the prince was confined under vigilance in his quarters. Four months later the prince died of unknown causes. The best theory is that his behavior worsened in captivity and it was not unusual for him to fast for days and then stuff himself with his favorite meals, with one of this pantagruelian feasts causing his death. Since no explanation could be given about his death at the time, the many enemies of Felipe II used it to start a black legend about him. The legend was given credit and the mad Carlos was turned into a romantic hero that fought against the oppression of his father. Schiller wrote a theater piece named “Don Carlos” in 1787, and Verdi turned it into an opera in 1867. In fact, madness was running in the family, starting with Isabel of Portugal, mother of Isabel la Catolica, and following with her granddaughter Juana the Mad, grandmother of Felipe II.Actions

Description
Lamoral, count of Egmont, was a Dutch noble, cousin of the King of Spain. He received military education in Spain. In January 1546 he was invested in the Golden Fleece Order by Charles V at the same time as the Duke of Alba. At the battle of Saint Quentin in 1557 he led the cavalry at the initial charge, contributing decisively to the Spanish victory over the French troops. A year later he commanded the Spanish army at the decisive victory of Gravelines, where he defeated the French troops led by Montmorency and became a national hero. As a reward he was appointed as stadtholder of Flanders by King Felipe. Although a devout Catholic, faithful to his King, he protested the introduction of the Inquisition in Flanders by bishop Granvelle. He nevertheless reconciled with Felipe and pleaded a change of policy in the Netherlands. When the Dutch revolts started and the Duke of Alba was sent to suppress them with the Edict of Blood, William of Orange advised Egmont and Hoorn to flee Brussels with him. But Egmont and Hoorn believed that their loyalty to the King protected them. Alba arrested them under accusation of treason. In vain Egmont pleaded to be judged by his peers of the Golden Fleece Order or having his case taken to the King. They were both condemned and executed on June 5, 1568. Their death led to large protests in the Netherlands, and contributed to the resistance against the Spaniards. Egmont is the main character in a play of the same name by Goethe.Actions

In search of El Dorado departed Pedro de Ursúa from Peru in 1560, down the rivers Marañón, Amazon and Orinocco, but he was killed by his second Lope de Aguirre and the expedition went rogue, commiting all kind of crimes until they were all killed in Venezuela. The obsession of Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada with El Dorado led him to obtain permission for a new expedition in 1569, putting his huge personal fortune in the line to finance it. The expedition departed with 400 Spaniards, 1500 Indians and 8 priests, and returned empty-handed in December 1572 with 64 Spaniards, 4 Indians and 2 priests, being one of the most expensive disasters in the Spanish conquest, almost ruining Quesada. But these two disastrous expeditions did not kill the myth. When it became evident that El Dorado was not to be found in Nueva Granada (Colombia), it was simply moved to the last unexplored part of the continent, the Guiana, where the last person to look for it was Sir Walter Raleigh who conducted two failed expeditions in 1595 and 1616. After that, the myth was finally put to rest, but in 1856, the drainage of the Siecha lake, in Muisca territory, allowed the discovery of a gold boat with ten figures, one of which was a chieftain. The gold boat, now in the Bogotá museum, proved that the ceremony that gave origen to the myth was authentic, and that Quesada found El Dorado without knowing it.Actions

On 26 November 1569, Don Francisco de Toledo, Conde de Oropesa was appointed as Viceroy of Peru. During his rule, Toledo took charge of the government and implemented many reforms. He centralized colonial governmental functions and laid the foundation for the future administration of the viceroyalty. He established royal authority and Spanish dominance in the colony. He broke the power of the encomenderos, reducing them to obedient servants of the crown.He worked hard to convert the natives and provide them with religious training. Toledo added new laws and royal decrees regarding the Indians and their lands, and he gathered the natives into villages, or reducciones. He promulgated laws that applied to both Indians and Spanish alike. He tried to adapt the political and social structures of the Incas to life in the viceroyalty. He also reduced the old system of mita, or forced native labor. Under his reforms of the mita, no more than one seventh of the male population of a village could be conscripted, they could not be forced to work far from their native villages, and they were entitled to compensation for their labor.

When in 1570 the Turks sent an ultimatum to Venice asking for the ceding of Cyprus and then invaded the island after the Republic of San Marco failed to respond, a great uproar was created in the Catholic world by the facts and rumors of Ottoman atrocities in the last Christian bastion of the eastern Mediterranean. After a first failure in the summer of 1570, Pope Pius V managed to convince major Catholic nations (except France) to join a Holy League against the heathens Turks, and it was proclaimed in May 1571. The League would lead to the great naval victory of Don Juan on the Turks at Lepanto, but would not outlast this first and final triumph. Selim II is rumored to have said, after the news he had lost 200 galleys at Lepanto: At Lepanto, the Christians have shaved me. At Cyprus, I cut their arm. My beard will grow again.Actions

Description
Spain had enormous problems in financing its wars despite the plentiful gold and silver arriving from the New World in the late 16th Century. Sometimes its troops would go as long as three years without being paid. Eventually the regiment or garrison would mutiny in an attempt to get the money that it was rightfully owed. While rarely over 5000 men ever participated in a single mutiny, they had a huge effect on the Spanish war effort as they often derailed Spanish offensives and the payment of the arrears often consumed a major portion of the entire military budget for that year. It took the Spanish until after the Twelve Year Truce ended in 1621 to figure out how to ensure that its troops were paid in a timely manner.Actions

Description
Spain had enormous problems in financing its wars despite the plentiful gold and silver arriving from the New World in the late 16th Century. Sometimes its troops would go as long as three years without being paid. Eventually the regiment or garrison would mutiny in an attempt to get the money that it was rightfully owed. While rarely over 5000 men ever participated in a single mutiny, they had a huge effect on the Spanish war effort as they often derailed Spanish offensives and the payment of the arrears often consumed a major portion of the entire military budget for that year. It took the Spanish until after the Twelve Year Truce ended in 1621 to figure out how to ensure that its troops were paid in a timely manner.Actions

Description
The Spanish government had enormous problems furnishing its troops in the Netherlands with their pay in a timely manner during the first phases of the Dutch rebellion. Taking matters into their own hands one group of unpaid soldiers sacked the towns of Alost and Antwerp in Flanders to get what they felt was rightfully theirs. The barbarity of their conduct earned the incident the nickname ''The Spanish Fury'' and alientated many people in the Netherlands and Europe, Catholic and Protestant alike. It also caused all of the XVII Provinces to sign the Pacification of Ghent that temporarily united the provinces in order to drive the Spanish out of the Netherlands entirely and granted freedom of religion throughout the Netherlands. In the short term many of the survivors fled to north of Amsterdam, the first step of the decline of Antwerp as a trading center.Actions

Description
Felipe II just did not have the money to pursue a North African conquest, but the rebellion of the Moriscos in 1569, at a time when Tunis was conquered for the Ottomans by the famous pirate and beylerbey of Algiers, Uluj Ali, made him painfully aware of the dangers of ignoring that front. With great effort, the Moriscos rebellion was put down, and the Ottoman fleet defeated at Lepanto. But although Tunis was briefly recovered, it was quickly lost again due to lack of resources. But he was not alone in having problems. The Ottomans defeated at Malta and Lepanto found themselves also overstretched due to their taxing conflicts in Persia. Under these circumstances, Felipe II and Murad III negotiated a series of truces between 1577 and 1581. In these truces Felipe II renounced to Spanish former conquests in North Africa, while the Ottoman sultan renounced to Oran, and to lend help to the Moriscos. The peace between Spain and the Ottoman empire would be permanent, and would allow both empires to abandon the Mediterranean, that was left in the hands of the Barbary pirates, periodically checked by the European navies.Actions

When Spain arrived in the Philippines, Islam was spreading from neighboring Brunei. Besides the Sultanate of Sulu in the southern chain of islands, the islands of Mindanao and Palawan were mostly Muslim. In Mindanao several small principalities divided the island while Palawan was under the authority of Brunei. In 1578, the Spaniards made their first move towards conquering the islands. The expedition of Esteban Rodríguez de Figueroa, after the invasion of Brunei, succeeded in temporarily vassalizing Sulu, while a attack on Mindanao was mostly unsuccessful. The Muslims in Philippines were also called Moros, as the Muslims in the North of Africa and the Iberian Peninsula were called because of their relationship to the Roman Mauri. A name that the Muslims of Philippines still carry today. The so-called Moro wars, that would continue into the 21st century, had started.Actions

When they landed at Palawan, then under nominal suzeraneity of Brunei, the governor of Manila, Francisco de Sande, sent the following letter to the sultan of Brunei, Seif ul-Rijal: ''What you are to do is to admit preachers of the law of Christ in all security, and allow any person in your land to freely attend and if he wishes so, to become Christian without any ill befalling him. Further, I desire that you do not sent preachers of the sect of Mahoma to any part of these islands or your own island, inasmuch as the doctrine of Mahoma is false and evil law, and the religion of the Christians alone is true, holy and good.''

Gonzalo Perez was the best state secretary of Emperor Carlos, but previously he had a son with a married woman while he was a Catholic priest. Despite this outcast origen, Antonio Perez was legitimated as son of Gonzalo, and given the best education that Europe could provide in several countries. He was extraordinarily intelligent and raised to the post of his father with Felipe II, but being disolute and unescrupulous, soon became corrupt. He became the lover of the widow of his former protector, the one-eyed princess of Eboli. Their intrigues lead Antonio Perez to order the killing of the secretary of the King's half brother, Juan de Austria, in March 1578, because he knew too much and was pressuring him. Although initially Felipe II was inclined to protect him, the outcry from the opposite faction was too big, and although the charges for murder were not brought upon him, a long process for corruption, that was to take several years, was initiated.Actions

Antonio, despised by the nobles because he was an ilegitimate son of D. Luis (son of D. Manuel I) but had great support from the lower classes, and finally, D. Catarina, the Duchess of Bragança. She was the legitimate daughter of D. Duarte (son of D. Manuel I). Although Catarina's claim was the strongest, the Portuguese were not happy with the idea of an independent Queen.

Description
The Oath of Abjuration or Plakkaat van Verlatinghe, signed on July 26, 1581, was the formal declaration of independence of the northern Low Countries from the Spanish King, Philip II. This act followed the Union of Utrecht. The Oath of Abjuration meant a climax in the Dutch Revolt, a point of no return, in which the Low Countries asserted they were no longer loyal to their King. Sometimes, the oath is interpreted as an act of secession from Spain, but this is strictly speaking incorrect, as the provinces were never legally incorporated into the Spanish Kingdoms, but were only bound to them by the looser tie of personal union. Legally, the oath deposed the provinces' current ruler, Philip of Habsburg - who, by dynastic coincidence, was also King of Spain. Philip's attempts to unify his various realms under a more centralized government based in Madrid were the major drivers behind the oath. Philip used troops from Spain and other areas loyal to him (such as Wallonia and Italy) to fight the rebels. In the Oath, the Staten-Generaal (the General Estates, a sort of federal parliament) assert that a King is a servant of his people and should respect their laws and traditions. When he no longer does this, the people have the right to choose another ruler.Actions

Felipe II had made plans to expell the Morisques from Spain only a decade after the Alpujarras Revolt was crushed, but the wars against the Dutch and English prevented him from massing the necessary troops and ships. On the day that the 12 Year Truce was signed with the Dutch in 1609 he issued the order for the expulsion. It took some time to gather the necessary resources, but they began later that year. The order fell hardest on Aragon, Valencia and Murcia because they had large numbers of unassimilated Morisques from the earlier stages of the Reconquista. Valencia lost almost a third of its population and Aragon almost a fifth. But Felipe III and his advisors thought this was a cheap price to pay for cleansing Spain of its hated minority and to reassert the power and prestige of the Crown, both badly damaged by its defeats by the Protestant heretics.Actions

Description
The works of the monastery of El Escorial still constitutes an expression meaning something of an extraordinary dimension that takes forever to finish. The palace-monastery was finished in 1584, 21 years after it was started. In 1567 its main architect, Juan Bautista de Toledo, died, and was substituted by Juan de Herrera, who gave name to the Herrerian architectonic style characterized by austere straight lines with little ornamentation and the contrast between granite stone walls and black slate roofing. From the monastery of El Escorial, the Spanish Habsburgs ruled their empire. El Escorial lost royal favour when the French Bourbon dynasty, with a more Versaillesc taste, was inaugurated in 1705, but it is still today the royal pantheon.Actions

In 1586 Felipe II ordered General Juan de Tejeda and Bautista Antonelli to make an inspection of the Caribbean fortifications that had failed to stop attacks on Spanish holdings and to prepare recommendations for preventing further attacks. Upon their return they advised fortifying only the ports used by the treasure fleets as they were the most likely to be attacked. In November 1588 Felipe accepted their recommendations. Havana was the first port to benefit from the plans drawn up by Antonelli although it would be decades before the new forts were completed.Actions

Description
Following the undeclared war that Elizabeth, Queen of England, was waging against Spain, attacking her fleets, coastal cities and colonies, and supporting the Dutch protestants at war against Spain, Felipe decided to attack England, and gave orders to prepare a huge fleet to lead an invasion. But the problems started before the fleet was assembled, when Alvaro de Bazan, the Marquis of Santa Cruz, hero of many naval battles, died. The operation was put under the command of Alonso Guzman, the Duke of Medina-Sidonia, who was a great organizer and contributed financially, but was no seaman. 130 ships with 30,000 men departed Lisbon, but of them only 20 were big galleons, and most of the ships were merchant ships of many classes refitted with cannons and some Mediterranean galleases. Bad leadership, terrible storms and superior English naval tactics and cannons, turned the expedition into a disaster. The crucial point of the expedition, the embarkment of the Tercios of Alessandro Farnese, the Duke of Parma, near Calais, could not be achieved. The return trip was a nightmare due to bad weather, and in total 60 ships and 20,000 men were lost, 85 percent of them in the coasts of Ireland. The news were badly received in Spain, little used to serious defeats, but a lesson was learned. The crown understood that it needed a permanent royal navy, and that the ships and cannons had to be improved. As a consequence the Spanish navy was improved, corsair attacks diminished, the colonies were safer and the fleet of Indias arrived with regularity. Spain continued ruling the seas until the next century, when the Dutch achieved naval superiority over the then decadent Spanish empire.Actions

Description
After many years of process for corruption, Antonio Perez was finally convicted, and also charges for murder were brought against him, but he escaped to Aragon. Once in Zaragoza, he was imprisoned, but he claimed protection from the fueros of Aragon. According to these laws dating to the old Kingdom of Aragon, the King could not prosecute a man from Aragon for a crime committed in Castilla. In a climate of confrontation between Aragon and the King for previous events, the clever Antonio Perez, skillfully managed to convince many, that the King wanted to use his case to abolish the fueros, and the Justice of Aragon decided to protect him. Felipe then resorted to the only tribunal whose jurisdiction reached all the Kingdoms, the Inquisition. Charges of heresy were brought upon Antonio Perez, using also his sacrilegous origen as son of a Catholic priest and a married woman, and the Inquisition ordered his transfer to its own jail in Zaragoza. But, the Justice decided that the fueros were being violated and raised in rebellion, and the Viceroy of Aragon was killed. The army was sent to Zaragoza, where it entered without a shot, as the rebellion dissolved. But by then Antonio Perez had escaped to France. The Justice was executed for high treason, and the royal authority reinforced.Actions

In 1557, on the very first year as Spanish King, Philip II was forced to declare the country bankrupt. Spain had for many years undercut its tax base and what was worse, had no control of the price-fluctuations from the inflow of American silver and gold. It was impossible for the Spanish minister of finance to forecast any repayments as all costs fluctuated volatile. The spending was based on the planned budget, but the inflow was irregular at best which made Spain spend more than it actually had, thus the Great Bankruptcies of 1557 and 1596.Actions

Description
Following the defeat of the Spanish Armada, England quickly organized a large fleet to attack the Atlantic fleet that was largely intact and under repair at the Northern ports of Spain. But for England it was difficult to quickly obtain financing for such an expensive enterprise, and so the goals were expanded to attract new investors. The fleet was to destroy the Spanish ships under repair, to invade Portugal to trigger a rebellion and instate a Portuguese claimant on the throne, to capture the Azores, and to capture also the Spanish treasure fleet to compensate the expenses for a financially troubled England. Francis Drake and John Norris were put in command, but the expedition resulted in a disaster of a similar magnitude to the Spanish armada. Nothing of substance was achieved, and a military defeat at Lisbon, diseases and storms, decimated the fleet, that it is said to have lost 10,000 men. Thanks to it, the Spanish fleet recovered and in the next decade dominated again the seas, shipping three times more gold than the previous decades, while England suffered a chain of defeats. The most important of them was the disastrous raid to Puerto Rico and Panama in 1595, also with great loss of lives, including those of the hated corsairs Hawkins and Drake. The Spanish colonial empire was safe. As a result of these defeats and the financial troubles of England, James I would seek peace with Spain in the same terms offered by Felipe II prior to the Spanish Armada, but by then the war in the Low Countries had already been lost.Actions

The Jesuits that arrived to Japan in the XVI century were well received. However the daimyo (military chief) Toyotomi Hideyoshi was going to end the religious tolerance. After unifying the country, he started an expansionistic policy, invading Korea. He sent a menacing letter to the Spanish governor of the Philippines demanding their submission to Japan in 1591. Governor Dasmariñas sent a peace embassy formed by several Franciscans and leaded by Fray Pedro Bautista in 1593. The embassy was successful, and Hideyoshi allowed them to stay in Kyoto. Their work was fruitful between the oppressed Japanese lower classes, and soon they expanded to Nagasaki and Osaka. But all that changed when a Spanish galleon from Manila in route to Acapulco shipwrecked in the island of Sikoku, loaded with a treasure in luxury merchandise from China, India, and the Philippines. The samurai of Sikoku and Hideyoshi representatives started to dispute over the cargo, but a ship's officer reclaimed its ownership by Spain. To further his demands he showed a map with all the lands owned by Spain to be compared with the size of Japan. He was asked how so many lands could be conquered when in their ships so few soldiers were carried. -We first send the priests- was his imprudent answer. Hideyoshi reacted to this words by ordering the crucifixion of all the Franciscans. Six Spanish and seventeen Japanese Franciscan friars, together with 3 Jesuits thrown in the lot were tortured and crucified. It was only the beginning of the repression, and after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1613, the country was closed to Europeans for 284 years from 1637, and Christianity eradicated by mass executions. The Philippines governor was in no condition to respond, and so the route of the Manila galleon was changed from the Kuro Siwo current to the Equatorial Counter Current, to protect its cargo.Actions

When the Tudor decided to recover control of Ireland they met with stern resistance. The solution applied by Queen Elizabeth I was the establishment of the Plantations, depriving the Irish from their land and giving it to English settlers. When the plantations reached Ulster, Hugh O'Neill, the great Earl of Tyrone rose in rebellion and asked the King of Spain for help. Felipe III considered that it was a good opportunity to tie up English resources and sent a small army under command of Don Juan de Aguila that landed near Cork on October 2, 1601. The landing at the South of the Island when the rebels were at the North, lack of coordination, and lack of Irish experience in pitched battles, contributed to their defeat at the hands of the English army of Lord Mountjoy on January 3, 1602 (December 24, 1601 for the English Julian calendar) at Kinsale. The Spaniards embarked and left Ireland, but Felipe continued supporting the rebels with money. The rebellion was finally suppressed by the English scorched earth strategy, and O'Neill surrendered in March 1603. However the Irish rebellion nearly bankrupted England and contributed to the signing of peace between England and Spain. The Irish did not forget the help received from Spain even if insufficient.Actions

Description
After the Irish rebellion was defeated, many Irishmen left the island and entered the service of Spain, leading to the creation of several Irish Tercios (regiments) that participated in the wars in Netherlands. Their two best commanders were Thomas Preston and Owen Roe O'Neill. Owen Roe (Red) was a nephew of Hugh O'Neill, the great Earl of Tyrone (Ulster) that left Ireland in the Flight of the Earls. He joined the King's army in 1603, when the Irish rebels surrendered, and by 1605 he was already captain. He distinguished himself in many battles, and became famous after his defence of Arras for two months with only 1500 men against 90,000 French soldiers. Thomas Preston was from Meath (Leinster), and entered service with 2,000 Irish soldiers under his command in 1605. He is famous for his defence of Leuven. Both commanders actively recruited Irish soldiers for the Spanish army, and participated in the famous conquest of Breda immortalized by Velazquez. However as good Irish, they were separated by bitter rivalry. After the Irish rebellion of 1641, they both abandoned the service of Spain to join the Irish rebels. Preston was made commander of the Leinster forces and met with mixed results. O'Neill became the commander in chief of the Ulster forces and had great success against the English, until the dissensions between the Confederates paved the way for the Irish defeat and the terrible massacres of Cromwell. Preston would be created Viscount Tara by King Charles II in exile in 1650.Actions

The strong defensive system of Alonso de Ribera was very effective in limiting the Araucanian attacks, and in 1608 the Araucanian Toqui Pelantaro accepted peace and, as a submission signal, returned the skulls of Valdivia and García Óñez that he used to drink chicha, the local beer. Meanwhile the Jesuits were trying to convince the government that Indian resistance was due to Spanish repressive methods. It was worth trying, so the mystic father Luis de Valdivia was authorized in 1612 to promise the Araucanians peace and Spanish retreat from their lands in exchange for accepting missionaries. Obviously as soon as the military left, the missionaries were cruelly put to death. By 1626, it was clear that the defensive war proposed by the Jesuits was a complete failure and was abandoned. However plagues and racial mixing were slowly reducing the Araucanian resistance.Actions

Description
In 1608, by royal charter, the Jesuits were asked to take the task of colonizing and converting the Guarani and Guaycuru Indians in a huge area including Paraguay, Uruguay, North of Argentina and South of Brazil. The Jesuits created a system of missions, called Reductions, because they reduced the dispersion of the natives. About half of the natives joined the Jesuit system. The Jesuits allowed the natives to maintain their culture and language, posession of the land and self-government, in exchange for abandoning polygamy and embracing Christianity and organized work. The system was very successful, and the 60 missions established greatly increased the wealth of the area. However the jesuit system also had enemies in the Indians that rejected any pact with the white men, the hacienda owners with whom the system competed, and the Portuguese slave traders. 23 Jesuits paid with their lives their missionary work, but not one of them was killed by the indians that voluntarily entered the Reductions system.Actions

Description
Don Pedro Téllez Girón, third Duke of Osuna, was married to a granddaughter of Hernando Cortés. He was made Viceroy of Sicily in 1606, after good military services in Flanders. He was in this post for 10 years, winning the appreciation of the Sicilians for ending the reign of the bandits in the island, and creating a very efficient naval squadron that halted the attacks by Ottoman and Barbary coast pirates, assaulting in several occasions their nests. His protegee, the immortal writer Francisco de Quevedo, acted as his agent in the court of Madrid, and as his spy in Italy. In 1616 he was named Viceroy of Naples. By then, his naval squadron, partly financed from his own money and partly from the corso, and commanded by Francisco de Ribera was extremely efficient, as demonstrated by defeating a much larger Ottoman fleet at the battle of Cape Khelidonia in Antalya. This battle is remembered as the first clash between a fleet of only galleons (Ribera's 6 warships) against a fleet of only galleys (the Ottoman's 55 galleys). In total Osuna had at his service 20 galleys, 20 galleons and 30 smaller ships, that did not cost Spain a single ducat. The previous year, Venice had started the war of Gradisca, also known as Uskok war, against the Austrian Habsburgs, and was also supporting with troops the attempt of the Duke of Savoy at seizing the Marquisate of Mantua and Montferrat from the Gonzaga, allies of Spain. Don Pedro de Toledo, Marquis of Villafranca and Viceroy of Milan, defeated Charles Emmanuel of Savoy with the help of Osuna and the peace of January 1617 restored the original situation, but Osuna wanted to punish Venice for her anti-Spanish stance, and requested from the King of Spain permission to send his naval squadron to the Adriatic. In December 1616, Felipe III authorised the action on the condition of secrecy, and the flag displayed was Osuna's personal flag. During the 1617 season, Osuna's fleet plundered the Venetian traffic and raided the islands in the Adriatic. The Venetians, unable to stop him, loudly protested in Madrid, but although the King publicly repudiated the Viceroy's acts, he did nothing to end the attacks. With the end of the season, the fleet returned to Naples.Actions

Description
In 1618, Osuna was accused of being behind an attempt of overthrowing the Venetian government. Three hundred French and Spaniards at the service of Venice were abruptly executed without explanation, and a rumor started that the Spaniards were trying to take over the Republic. A hunt for foreigners overtook the city, and Quevedo narrowly escaped disguised as a beggar. The Spanish ambassador, Alonso de la Cueva, Marquis of Bedmar, had to leave Venice. Whether the conspiracy was true or an invention of the Council of Ten, the feared security agency of Venice, is still debated, as no convincing evidence was produced. In any case the star of Osuna was declining, and was going to drag Quevedo with him. His political enemies in Naples recruited the help of St. Lawrence of Brindisi, who spoke to the King of Spain against him, and caused Osuna to lose the royal favor. When he was substituted and recalled to Madrid in March 1620, he obeyed. He was then accused of many charges, some of them ridiculous for a Great of Spain, and his vigorous defence had a good chance of having his charges dismissed if not being reinstated as Viceroy, when Felipe III died. The new government of Felipe IV prosecuted the followers of previous minister Lerma, and Osuna died in confinement in September 1624 without having been proven guilty of any crime. Francisco de Quevedo also suffered from prison and exile for his relation with Osuna, but he never abandoned him, and wrote many warm verses about his achievements, including his epitaph. It was not long before Naples and Sicily were again infested by Barbary coast pirates.Actions

In 1596, a couple of years after the disastrous defeat of the Armada, Philip II were again forced to declare the country bankrupt. Spain had for many years undercut its tax base and what was worse, had no control of the price-fluctuations from the inflow of American silver and gold. It was impossible for the Spanish minister of finance to forecast any repayments as all costs fluctuated volatile. The spending was based on the planned budget, but the inflow was irregular at best which made Spain spend more than it actually had, thus the Great Bankruptcies of 1557 and 1596.Actions

The impending end of the Twelve Year's Truce with the Dutch meant that more attacks could be anticipated against Spanish colonies and even the treasure fleet. The royal favorite Olivares therefore decided to reinvigorate the long-neglected navy to beat off any such attacks and even possibly to launch equivalent raids against Protestant colonies and fleets. He decided upon a general policy to return the favor to the Dutch that the Spanish had so long enjoyed by destroying the Dutch fishing fleets and attacking Dutch shipping by commissioning privateers, primarily from the port of Dunquerque in Flanders. While the new ships were moderately successful, the ''guerre de course'' was spectacularly successful. Records are fragmentary, but between 1629 and 1638 Dunkirker privateers averaged almost 200 Dutch ships captured each year.Actions

He was devious and cunning leader, he involved Spain in the Thirty Years War alongside the Imperials and had the war with Holland renewed. This proved disastrous and precipitated Spanish decline, with secession of both Catalonia (reunited 1652) and Portugal in 1640. Under his governments, poetry, literature (Calderon) and painting (El Greco, Velasquez, and Murillo) prospered and Spanish modes and customs spread across Europe.Actions

Already in the last decade of the 16th century, Spain had become interested in Formosa (Taiwan). When Japanese ruler Hideyoshi menaced with an invasion of the Philippines, Formosa was considered as a defensive position, and also as an advanced base for commerce with China. The first expedition was sent in 1593, but it wrecked. Dutch presence in the island, and piracy, moved the governor of Philippines to send another expedition under command of Antonio Carreño Valdés in 1626. They founded two forts at Tamsui and Keelung in the Northern part of the island. But their missionary and military work came to an end when the new governor of Philippines decided, in 1635, to stop supporting the colony. The governor of Formosa, Gonzalo Portillo, decided to stay despite lack of support, but diseases and confrontations with natives reduced the size of the colony, and in 1638 Tamsui had to be abandoned. The Dutch governor, Paulus Traudenius, conscious of their weakness, showed up with an army at Keelung in 1642, and the remaining Spaniards and Philippinos agreed to leave.Actions

Description
From the outset of the formation of Spain, Castile was to shoulder the principal burden of the Crown's finances. This in large part was due to the mistrusting nature of the other kingdoms of the monarchy, who were keen to protect their traditional customs and privileges. The other kingdoms had legitimate fears that the Castilian dominated government wished to abolish their traditional laws leading the to be wary of providing financial assistance to the Crown's schemes. By the time of Félipe IV, the Castilian economy was in dire straits and was unable to provide the money and manpower so badly needed by the Crown. Conde Duque Olivares envisioned a strong monarchy that would abolish provincial laws and liberties to establish a unified state. Olivares recognized that such a state could not be achieved in a day but believed small steps should be taken to set the process in motion. In 1624, he proposed a sort of military cooperation between the different provinces, by which the defense of the Spanish Empire would be spread equally amongst the kingdoms. Unfortunately, the Cortes of Aragon, Valencia, and Catalonia, held in the spring of 1626 were even more unenthusiastic about the scheme that Olivares had feared. The Catalans saw the proposal as yet another move in the long standing Castilian conspiracy to steal their liberties. Olivares's scheme was not without small success, as although they rejected his military proposal, the Cortes of Aragon and Valencia were convinced to make annual financial contributions to the Crown.Actions

Action B of 285180 - Jesuits in Paraguay for Spain
Description
The Bandeiras were armed expeditions privately funded by the Portuguese of Brazil to make incursions beyond the Treaty of Tordesillas line. Usually they went into the jungle and enslaved any Indian they could capture. With the union of the crowns of Spain and Portugal, the Bandeirantes started to attack also the Spanish possessions north of the Rio de la Plata, knowing that as an internal problem, the King would be more lenient. When the Dutch disrupted navigation in the coasts of Brazil during and after the 20 years truce with Spain, the slave traffic from Africa to the Brazilian plantations stopped. Suddenly the Bandeiras became much more profitable. The missions that the Jesuits had established in Paraguay had attracted tens of thousands of indians and owned hundreds of thousands of cattle and were an easy target. Between 1628 and 1638 the Bandeirantes destroyed ten missions, killing thousands of indians and taking over 25,000 captives of which only one quarter would reach Sao Paulo alive. The entire region of Guayrá was desolated. In 1638 the Superior of the Jesuits, Father Ruiz Montoya, travelled to Spain and submitted 12 petitions to Felipe IV to allow the Indians to be armed with firearms for their defense. Concerns about the safety of Rio de la Plata and Peru if Paraguay fell to the Portuguese, finally moved Felipe to agree. The military instruction of the Indians under three Jesuit ex-soldiers, and 11 Spaniards from Buenos Aires started that same year, and a Bandeirada was defeated at Caazapaguazú, but upon their surrender the Bandeirantes were allowed to retire. Their return to Sao Paulo coincided with the arrival of envoys with royal charters and Papal Bulls against the enslaving of Indians and caused much indignation. The municipal chamber (city council) expelled the Jesuits of Sao Paulo and organized an expedition of 450 Bandeirantes and 2700 Indians under command of Manuel Pires. Father Pedro Romero, the Jesuit commander, had 4200 Guaranies and 300 arquebuses. The Bandeirantes were coming down the River Uruguay and were surprised at the river bend at Mbororé on March 11, 1641. The fight was favorable to the Indians, who had also fortified both shores. The Bandeirantes retreated and dug in, and tried to surrender, but the Indians had had enough, and for days they pursued the fleeing Bandeirantes through the jungle. Few made it back to Sao Paulo. Slowly, the destroyed missions were rebuilt.Actions

Fortunately a timely rebellion of French Huguenots under Enrique - Duque di Rohan (funded by Spanish gold) succeeded in drawing Richelieu's attentions from Italy, allowing Habsburg forces to retake Mantua and dictate the Treaty of Cherasco (1631). Gonzaga-Nevers was expelled from Italy whilst the senior Gonzaga heiress Maria now wed Guastalla's heir - who became the new Herzog von Mantua and vassal of the Emperador. Montferrat was partitioned between Savoy and Spain, thereby securing the southern frontier shortly before the incursion of Gustavus II Adolphus in Germany.Actions

Action A, B, C of 285299 - Margaret of Savoy for Spain
Description
Olivares believed that Catalonia and Portugal were the two wealthiest States on the peninsula and decided that the two must be induced to play a part commensurate with their presumed resources. He decided to appoint Princess Margaret of Savoy, as Governess of Portugal and instructed her to obtain an annual levy of 500,000 cruzados via new taxes. Margaret's appointment was to serve a double role, as her presence would silence Portuguese complaints of royal neglect.Actions

Description
By the closing years of the 1630s, Olivares had become convinced that the continuance of the Spanish monarchy was dependent on income and manpower from Catalonia and Portugal. Unfortunately, the Catalans had proven intractable since the publishing of the Union of Arms, as they viewed Castilian imperial designs as quite unfavorable. Having exhausted direct methods, Olivares decided to make Catalonia a base for military operations. He hoped that the Catalans would acquiesce to his wishes when they realized that they were now threatened by invasion from hostile foreign powers.Actions

Description
Although Olivares's scheming met with some success, the people of Catalonia were quickly becoming disgruntled with his policies. Facing foul conditions, a great number of Catalan and non-Catalan soldiers deserted their posts in Catalonia. In response, Olivares instructed the ministers of the province to ignore the constituions of Catalonia wherever they conflicted with the best interests of the army. Always wary of Castilian attempts to limit their autonomy, the populace become explosively angry as they were demanded to provide more and more support for the army. By 1640, the Principality was increasingly receptive to the appeals of its clergy to hold onto its historic liberties. Under the leadership of a vigorous cleric, Pau Claris, Catalonia revolted against the monarchy.Actions

Cinchona or quinine bark (cinchona officinalis) is one of the rainforest's most famous plants and most important discoveries. Legend has it that the name cinchona came from the countess of Chinchón, the wife of the viceroy of Perú, who was cured of a malarial fever by using the bark of the cinchona tree in 1638. It was supposedly introduced to european medicine in 1640 by the countess of Chinchón, even before botanists had identified and named the species of tree. Quinine bark was used by the jesuits in South America very early in its history and due to the influence of the Company of Jesus, the newly named 'Jesuit's powder' became known all over Europe. Throughout the mid-1600s to mid-1800s quinine bark was the primary treatment for malaria and evidenced remarkable results.Actions

Description
By the 1640s, the nobility of Portugal were more than just annoyed with their Spanish captivity. None of the supposed benefits of the union with Spain had come to pass. Despite Felipe II's assurances that Spain would respect the Portuguese constitution and its customes, by the time of Felipe IV, taxes were imposed and most all key posts in the government were held by Castilians. Portugal's colonial possessions were also under attack with Spain's enemies, the English and the Dutch. Frustrated by a union that had out lived its usefulness, a group of conspirators began to meet regularly and chose the Duke of Bragança to be their future sovereign. Although a mild-mannered man, the conspiring nobles chose the duke as he had the best claim to throne. Additionally, his confidence was bolstered by his wife, the scheming Luisa de Guzman, daughter of the Spanish Duke of Medina Sidonia. Having orchestrated their rebellion perfectly, the nobles quickly took the palace and the people of Lisbon took control of the city. News of the succesful revolt rapidly spread and one by one the Portuguese defeated the Spanish garrisons. On December 15th of 1640, the Duke and Duchess of Bragança were crowned King and Queen of Portugal.Actions

Description
The battle of Rocroi in 1643 marks a psychological turning point in European history. For the first time in 150 years, Spain was unable to defeat her enemies in the field of battle. Spain, a small, poor country had been able to build and defend a huge empire. Basing her military success in the army reforms introduced during the war of Granada and the wars of Italy, and financing her never ending wars with the apparently unlimited precious metals from her American conquests, Spain was able to expand in Italy, and defend the troublesome inheritance of the Spanish Habsburgs. But by mid-seventeen century, the Spanish demography simply gave up. The wool crisis affected the shepherds, the main source of soldiers. The exhausted fields of Spain, ineffectually laboured by impoverished serfs, resulted in continuous crop failures, recurrent famines and terrible pestilences from the beginning of the century, that together with the expulsion of the Moors, significantly reduced the size of the population. The scarcity of soldiers was such that anybody taller than 150 cm was accepted, when previously nobody shorter than 170 cm could form in the famous Tercios. The Spanish empire was also weighed down by mismanagement, due to the lack of an educated middleclass to provide competent administrators, as a result of the obsession of the Spanish society with racial purity which glorified the idle nobility, while dismissing merchants and artisans. Spain would be forced to concede defeat in the peace of the Pyrenees, and to accept the independence of Portugal and the Netherlands. France was acknowledged as the new continental power. Instead of reacting to correct the root of her problems, Spain would entrench in defending her diminishing empire, entering a decline that will culminate in the loss of her European possessions after the war of the Spanish succession.Actions

Tumults broke out in 1647 and soon became so serious that the Spanish viceroy came to terms with Masaniello, promised the reforms demanded, and recognized him as captain general. Demented by his sudden success, Masaniello was killed shortly afterward either by agents of the Spanish viceroy or by his own disillusioned supporters. The revolution was soon repressed.Actions

The demand for a representation of the Creoles in the administration, besides the governments need for income, was solved by the sale of public offices. Since 1630, inhabitants of the colonies had the possibility to obtain positions by money. The crown began to sell positions in the treasury in 1622, in the corregimientos in 1678 and in courts in 1687. Many Creoles took these opportunities. The purchase of an office gained them a certain influence and independence within the administration. For the crown, it meant additional income, but also less authority in the colonies.Actions

Description
The Pueblo people of New Mexico had accepted Spanish domination because of the protection they awarded against nomadic Navajo and Apache raids. However there was religious friction due to Franciscan pressure to the Pueblo to abandon their Pagan beliefs. In 1670, a great drought brought famine and Apache attacks on such a scale that the Spanish soldiers could not cope. Unsatisfied with the Spanish inability to feed and protect them, the Pueblo Indians turned to their old gods, provoking a repressive wave from the Franciscans. In 1675, 47 medicine-men were arrested on charges of witchcraft, and three of them were hanged. The Pueblo uproar for the events coincided with most of the soldiers being away fighting the Apache, so the rest of the medicine-men had to be released, between them one named Popé. Later, when fugitive from murder accusations, Popé took refuge in Taos and prepared a revolt. On August 10, 1680 Popé directed the uprising of the Pueblo, killing 18 Franciscan priests, and over 380 Spaniards between men, women and children. The survivors took refuge in Santa Fe, and when besieged, escaped to El Paso. Until his death in 1688, Popé ruled the Pueblo with an iron fist, trying to erase any sign of Europeans. Under penalty of death, the Pueblo Indians had to destroy all signs of Catholic religion and Spanish culture, including the killing of Spanish imported livestock and burning of fruit trees, and they were forbidden from growing barley or wheat.Actions

Description
The Portuguese had little respect for the Treaty of Tordesillas, and in 1680 the Governor of Rio, Manuel Lobo established the Nova Colônia del Santíssimo Sacramento just in front of Buenos Aires at the Northern shore of the Rio de la Plata in what is today Uruguay. This fragrant intrusion in the Spanish area was not kindly taken, specially since Sacramento engaged in a most damaging contraband against the Spanish monopoly through Lima. The Governor of Buenos Aires, José de Garro quickly seized the colony with the help of Guarani Indians and captured Lobo, but the colony was returned the next year by the Provisional Treaty of Lisbon of 1681. When Portugal entered the War of Spanish Succesion in 1705, the Governor of Buenos Aires, Valdez de Inclán, captured again Sacramento with Guarani soldiers, but it had to be returned to Portugal once more under the Peace of Utrecht in 1715. In 1724 the Portuguese started to expand in the area, leading the Governor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio de Zabala, to found San Felipe y Santiago de Montevideo in 1726, strongly increasing Spanish control over the Banda Oriental region, or eastern shore of the Rio de la Plata.Actions

Several attempts were done at the colonization of California between 1534 and 1697, but the difficulties and inaccessibility of the territory made them all fail. Besides nobody believed there was anything of value there except the pearls in the Sea of Cortes that were regularly fished by expeditions. In 1677, Carlos II ordered a new expedition that, under command of Isidoro Atondo, departed Sinaloa (Mazatlan) in 1683. In the expedition were three Jesuits, one of them Father Eusebio Francisco Kino from Trent. After three years the expedition returned. Father Kino then convinced Father Juan María de Salvatierra to return and they obtained permission from the Viceroy in 1697. They founded the mission of Loreto, now La Paz, in the Southern tip of the peninsula. The new King, Felipe V ordered in 1703 the establishment of military forts to protect the growing number of Jesuit missions in Baja California that in 1766 reached the number of fourteen with the last one near the border between Baja and Alta California. However, life in the missions was difficult, and they were sustained by donations from Mexico, as they received very little official help. Meanwhile Father Kino founded numerous missions in Sonora and Arizona.Actions

After the death of Pueblo leader Popé, the different Pueblos quarreled over who should rule them. This power struggle plus a prolonged drought and increased Apache attacks weakened the Pueblo and prepared the stage for the Spanish return. In July 1692, Diego de Vargas Zapata, recently appointed Governor of New Mexico, arrived with less than 50 soldiers. Through skillful diplomacy, he was able to entice the far more numerous and fortified Pueblo Indians in Santa Fe to surrender without firing a shot. The Spanish conceded a measure of freedom of religion and culture to the Pueblo Indians, granting large portions of land to the different Pueblos and appointing public defenders to protect the Indian rights at Spanish courts. A second uprising in 1696 that resulted in the death of 5 missionaries and 21 Spaniards had to be put down with more violence, but New Mexico was essentially reconquered by the end of the century.Actions

Description
For years Europe has been preparing for the death of childless Carlos II of Spain. He was related to several royal families in Europe, but after the death of the designated heir, Joseph Ferdinand Wittelbach of Bavaria, at the age of six, the royal houses of Austria and France had a similar claim, although according to the Spanish laws of succession the right of the French Dauphin preceded that of the Habsburg. But both nations were too powerful, and the addition of the Spanish empire would make any of them unstoppable, and so candidates not destined to their thrones, Philip of Anjou and Charles Habsburg, were discussed as heirs to Carlos, and several partition agreements were negotiated. That is precisely what everybody wanted to prevent in Spain. Despite the bigger influence from the Austracist party led by the mother of Carlos, historically there was an undisputable fact: France had 300,000 soldiers next to Spain and the Spanish Netherlands, and so represented the only opportunity, albeit small, to keep the empire together. A will was redacted and the agonizing Carlos signed it. It bequeathed the Kingdom to Philip Anjou, but it contained two crucial clauses, the condition that the crowns of France and Spain should never be held by the same person, and the condition that if any partition took place, then the crown of Spain should go to Charles Habsburg. Austria, of course, rejected it, starting the war in Italy, but the rest of Europe seemed to agree, as the equilibrium was not broken. But, could Louis XIV resist the temptation?Actions

When in 1687 the Crown began to sell positions in the courts, the Creoles did not miss the opportunity. Slowly, they started to consider the districts of their 'audiencia' as their homeland and to affirm that, considering their aptidude for the office, they were supposed to occupy all offices within their districts. By 1750 many audiencias were already almost completely dominated by the local Creole elites, especially in Lima, Charcas and Quito. Although they did not yet even think of seceding from the Empire, this situation contributed in the creation and enhancement of a certain local identity and determined the later centres of the wars of independence.Actions

Felipe V was well accepted in all of Spain, and recognized as King by all the parliaments. However with the start of the war and the arrival of the French troops, and with the proclamation of Charles Habsburg as King in Vienna, his supporters (Austracists), were ready to change sides. Although there were supporters for both monarchs in all regions of Spain, the disenchantment with the Habsburg rule and the admiration for the French centralized model was higher in the former Kingdom of Castile, while in the former Kingdom of Aragon, besides the opposite sentiment, there was a profound hatred of the French for the loss of the Roselló and the bombardment of Barcelona by the French fleet a few years before. The arrival of the Archduke to the coasts of Valencia raised most of the province in his favor, and after the conquest of Barcelona by the English troops, and with the Archduke Charles in the city, most of Catalonia declared her support for him, and he was proclaimed King by the parliament on November 7, 1705. Soon the parliament of Valencia took the same decision. The European war of Spanish succession had just become a civil war in Spain.Actions

The counterattack by Felipe on Barcelona had to be suspended when he ran the risk of being caught between two fronts with the invasion of Extremadura by an Anglo-Portuguese expedition. Charles proceeded from Barcelona with an Austro-English army and Catalan troops reaching Madrid. At that point it seemed that he was going to win the war and the parliaments of Aragon and Baleares also recognized him as King of Spain on June 29, 1706. However the support for Felipe was still strong in Castile, Extremadura and Andalucía.Actions

Description
The Spanish Habsburgs, kept the medieval system of Spanish Kingdoms. Each Kingdom, as well as other regions and cities, kept different laws and taxation system. The old Kingdom of Castile was the one that allowed more control to the King, and was the one that in a larger measure paid the price of maintaining the Spanish empire against its enemies. Less than a year after Felipe V was crowned King of Spain, Austria, England, and Holland decided to contest his succession. The ArchDuke Charles Habsburg, the candidate of the coalition, offered the former Kingdom of Aragon to swear and maintain their privileges. That, together with the hatred of the French for the loss of Rousillon, took first Valencia and Catalonia and later the rest of the Crown of Aragon to rise against their King and proclaim Charles as the new King. For the Spaniards it was a civil war between two models of state, the centralized France and the decentralized Austria. Even before the civil war was over, Felipe issued in the already recovered regions of Aragon and Valencia the decrees of Nueva Planta in 1707. The decrees suppressed the medieval kingdoms by abolishing their special laws and parliaments. This move towards centralization allowed for the imposition of a uniform tax system that greatly increased the Crown revenue. The Castilian language was also made official as the Spanish language. Other regions of Spain that kept their loyalty to the King were allowed to keep their privileges. The Catalans saw what was awaiting for them if they were defeated, increasing their determination to fight till the end.Actions

After his conquest of Gibraltar during the war of Spanish Succession, and to alleviate the French-Spanish attempt to recover it, Prince George of Hesse-Darmstadt, chief commander of the alliance army of Archduke Charles, suggested the bey of Algiers that it was a good time to attack the Spaniards at Oran, given their weakness. Upon learning this, the bey of Algiers ordered the bey of Mascara, Mustapha ben Youssef, to attack it. With Oran under siege, Luis Manuel Fernández de Córdoba, count of Santa Cruz, was ordered to carry reinforcements to the city. Instead, he deserted to the Archduke Charles Habsburg side and surrendered Cartagena to the English. Without relief, Melchor Avellaneda, governor of Oran, was forced to capitulate to the Ottomans.Actions

Description
The Spanish war of succession was also slow to end. Since Spain and Austria had not settled the issue and it was impossible to reach an agreement between all participants, it was decided that separate peace treaties between the parties would end the war. This decision was very damaging to Spain that was left with very little negotiating power once France left the war, and that was left at the hands of a foreign King whose main interest was to win the crown of Spain and had little interest in maintaining the Spanish possessions. The series of treaties received the name of Peace of Utrecht. Spain signed a treaty with England on July 13, ceding Gibraltar and Minorca, and a monopoly on slave trade for the next 30 years. The treaty with Savoy on August 13 ceded the island of Sicily, later exchanged by Sardinia with Austria, in exchange for the renunciation of Vittorio Amedeo II to any right to the crown of Spain. The peace treaty with the United provinces had to wait until June 26, 1714, and that with Portugal to February 1715, but both had little consequence. However the war against Austria, now favorable to Spain, continued with the reconquest of Sardinia in 1717 and an attack on Sicily in 1718, until a quadruple alliance was formed by France, England, Netherlands and Austria forcing Spain to accept the loss of Naples, Sicily, Sardinia and Parma at the treaty of the Hague on February 17, 1720 sealing the peace between Austria and Spain. At the Peace of Utrecht, Felipe, as King of Spain, renounced his right to the crown of France, and Charles renounced the crown of Spain. During the war of Polish succession, Felipe will finally be able to recover Naples and Sicily from Austria.Actions

Description
First created in Italy in the Renaissance, the Academies were organized centers to develop literature, arts or sciences. In the XVII century they were introduced in France where they acquired their character of national centers of promotion and authority in their subjects, under Government protection. But it is in the next century, when Enlightenment spreads all over Europe, that the rest of the countries will introduce them. In Spain, the Royal Library that would later become the National Library, was created in 1712 by Felipe V. The first Academy instituted was the Royal Academy of Spanish Language and Literature in 1714. It was followed in 1735 by the Royal Academy of History, and in 1752 by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, that included Arts and Mathematics. In those years, the Royal Botanical Garden, the Astronomical Observatory, and the Natural History Royal Cabinet were also created. Constituted initially by the enlightened nobility, their members will be progresively recruited more and more from the bourgeoisie with liberal professions.Actions

Description
Charles left Spain in 1711 to take possession of the imperial crown, leaving his wife, Elizabeth Christine Brunswick, as regent. But in 1713 the situation had become untenable. A string of defeats had the Franco-Spanish armies at the doors of Barcelona, and the English had left the war. In March the empress left Barcelona, leaving Stahrenberg to reach an agreement with Felipe, and after surrendering Tarragona, the Austrians left. On the 9th of July 1713, with the Bourbon armies surrounding Barcelona, the three arms of the Barcelona courts voted on what to do. The military and ecclesiastic branches voted at first to come to terms, but in the popular arm, representing the third state, war was decided by 78 to 45 votes, forcing a turn of the tide for an all-out resistance. With numerous casualties on both sides, the Bourbon armies reconquered Barcelona on September 11, 1714. But the war would not end until June 13, 1715, when the 1000 Austrian garrison surrendered the island of Mallorca. Felipe V became the first King of Spain, instead of King of Castile and Aragon. Since his triumph was due to the loyalty of the Castilians, the coat of arms of Castile and the numbering of her Kings became those of Spain. The ascension of a French King obviously means the surrender of any claim on French lands.Actions

The revolt of the 'comuneros' of Paraguay in 1718 was a reaction of creoles and spaniards against the governor of Asunción, who supported the jesuit missions. These Jesuit missions were accused by creoles and spaniards of holding the best lands and of reducing manpower because of the reduced labour hours they imposed on the natives. In real history the revolt lasted until 1735, when a native army under the command of the Jesuits defeated the 'comuneros'.Actions

Description
In many lists of Spanish Kings one is missing. On the tenth of January 1724, Felipe V unexpectedly decided to abdicate. He alleged a desire to dedicate to religious works, but the death in the previous month of the Duke of Orleans, regent and heir to the throne of France had opened his possibility of inheriting the Kingdom of France from his sickly nephew, as he was the grandson of Louis XIV. By virtue of the will of Carlos II and the Peace of Utrecht, he could not rule both France and Spain, but he had not abdicated of his personal rights to the crown of France. A month later, on the 9th of February, his son Louis was crowned as King of Spain. He was 17 years old and childish, despite being already married. His court in Madrid was supervised by his father from the palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso, not far from the capital. But his rule was not to bear any consequence and was called the lightning rule, as he soon fell sick of smallpox, the same disease that exterminated the family of his cousin Louis XV of France. Luis died the 31 of August, 1724, seven months after becoming King. He was called the Well-Beloved because his very young wife cared for him during his disease despite the considerable risk to her own life. His brother Fernando was his heir, but his father Felipe illegally retook the crown, given that Louis XV of France recovered and that his second wife Isabel de Farnesio wanted to be Queen, and nobody disputed his right. But the second rule of Felipe V was worse than the first, as he was affected by a progressive mental disease, and his wife, Duchess and heir of Parma, involved Spain in the recovery of the Italian territories for her sons. Felipe V renounced to his rights to the French throne in 1725.Actions

Description
In the war of Polish succession Felipe V of Spain supported France in her fight against Austria and Russia in order to make the French candidate to be elected as King of Poland. He hoped in this way to secure Mantua for the elder son, Don Carlos, who, already Duke of Parma as Carlo I, had also the expectation of Tuscany and to give the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily to the younger son, Don Felipe. Since Austria was fighting on several fronts on the Rhine against France and on Lombardia against Savoy, Spain easily conquered Naples and Sicily which Austria had previously occupied during the war of Spanish succession. In 1735 the peace treaty that followed the war of Polish succession established that Felipe's son Carlos (later Charles III of Spain) should give up the duchy of Parma, which he had inherited in 1731 as descent of the Farnese family through his mother, Elisabetta Farnese, Queen of Spain and any claim to Tuscany, given to the Duke of Lorraine after Gian Gastone, the last of the Medicis, died. In exchange for that, Don Carlos was confirmed the possession of his conquests in Southern Italy. On 3 October 1735 Don Carlos, named Carlo VII King of Naples and Carlo V King of Sicily, established the cadet line of the Spanish House of Bourbons in the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily (renamed Kingdom of Two Sicilies after 1815).Actions

The Pragmatic Sanction was recognized by Spain in 1725 (confirmed in 1731), Russia in 1726, Prussia in 1728, the United Provinces in 1731, Hanover in 1732, the Heiliges Reich (except Bavaria) in 1732 and France in 1738 only.

Zenon Somodevilla, marquis of Ensenada, was a minister of the King of Spain, who realized that the Spanish navy was falling behind those of other nations. He started a program of naval reformation by studying the naval technologies of every country in Northern Europe, from England to Russia, even resorting to industrial spionage. He then hired English shipbuilders, and constructed what would become Spanish modern shipyards at Ferrol (Coruña), Cartagena (Murcia) and Cadiz. His reforms were very succesful and allowed the Spanish navy to remain competitive until the Napoleonic wars. Over the seventeen century, sediments had covered the bottom of the Guadalquivir river, and Sevilla lost her famous port.Actions

Linguistic and genetic analysis indicates that Romanies or Gypsies are probably the descendants of a small group of Punjab or Sindh mercenaries at the service of Yamin ul-Dawlah Mahmud, Turkish ruler of Ghazni, who carried out seventeen invasions of India between the years 1001-1026. With the end of the Ghaznavid empire, the Romanies were pushed Westward through Turkish lands while growing in numbers, arriving to the Byzantine empire in the XII century. Soon the Ottomans pushed them further West and they entered the Balkans during the XIV century, were large numbers established. Many continued further West arriving to Western Europe at the beginning of the XV century. In Spain they are first recorded in 1420. As a curiosity, four Gypsies accompanied Columbus on his third voyage to the New World. Despite their European migration, and due to their own ignorance about their origins, they were though to come from Egypt, and they were called Gypsies (from Egyptians). Their nomadic ways were not well received, and they were prosecuted in every country, with specific laws that limited their movement, confined them to certain places, forced them to labor or even expelled them and in some cases executed them. Spain was not an exception in the repression of the Romanies, and one episode was especially terrible. In July 30, 1749, a great inquiry was started to identify the 'bad' Gypsies under the auspices of the marquis of Ensenada, minister of war, and Bishop Gaspar Vázquez Tablada, head of the Royal Council. 12,000 men, women and children were captured over the next days by the army, with the complicity of the Church which had retired the Gypsies the right to Holy Asylum two years before. They were separated, and some men taken to galleys, but most of them went to work as slaves in the shipyards of Cadiz, Cartagena and Ferrol, while the women were confined with their children in Valencia, Zaragoza and Sevilla, and forced to work in manufactories to support themselves, while their properties were seized and sold to reward those that participated in the prosecution. Some voices rose against the measure, and the government started releasing the old and the widows the same year. But it will not be until June 16, 1763 when the King will issue an indult, although the last ones will not be released until 1766, after having spent 17 years in confinement, ruined, their families broken.

In the 1730s the french physicist Pierre de Maupertuis proposed the organization of two scientific expeditions in order to test whether the Earth was flattened at the poles (as predicted by Newton) or flattened at the equator (as predicted by Descartes). One expedition, with Maupertuis and Clairaut, travelled to Laponia and the other, with La Condamine and Antonio de Ulloa, to the vice-royalty of Peru, near Quito. Both expeditions measured a certain fraction of degree of the Earth's sphere and compared the longitudes obtained. The results showed the correctness of Newton's hypothesis. These two expedition were one of the first true international scientific enterprises, involving, among others, french, swedish, spanish and ecuadorian scientists.Actions

After the Anglo-Spanish war of 1739-1748, known in England as War of Jenkin's ear, and in Spain as Guerra del Asiento, the Spanish King feared an English attack in the Rio de la Plata possessions. With a desire to solve the confrontation with Portugal over Sacramento, and on the advice of his Portuguese wife, Barbara de Bragança, he signed in 1750 an agreement to hand over all the lands East of the river Uruguay and North of the river Negro to Portugal in exchange for the colony of Sacramento. The vast region that was to become Portuguese was known as Seven Villages, for the seven Jesuit Reductions that exploited the area. The Jesuit Order obeyed, and the Indians were told to abandon their lands or become slaves to the Portuguese.Actions

When by the Treaty of Madrid, the Guarani Indians were told by their Jesuit fathers to evacuate their lands or become Portuguese slaves, they refused and took the arms to resist. They were leaded by José Sepé Tiarayú. Against them a Spanish army under Gaspar de Monive, Marquis of Valdelirios, and a Portuguese army under Gomes Freire de Andrade. For two years both armies conducted an inefectual war against the guerrilla tactics of the Indians. Finally in 1756, both armies joined forces, and after the killing of José Sepé, they slaughtered 1300 Indians at Caibaté, suffering four casualties. Soon they took control of the region with a final death toll of about 6000 Indians. These events are narrated in the movie ''The Mission.'' After the campaign, Freire and Valdelirios, wrote letters blaming the Jesuit order for instigating the Indians, and arrested 11 fathers. The matters were investigated by the new Governor of Buenos Aires, Pedro de Ceballos, and by the Jesuit order, whose General Ignazio Visconti had given orders, under penalty of mortal sin, expulsion, and excommunication, of colaborating with the authorities. The investigations did not find any evidence to substantiate the accusations, and the case was superseded to the indignation of Freire and the Marquis of Pombal, Masons and enemies of the order. The Marquis of Pombal took matters into his own hands and wrote a pamphlet entitled ''Brief account of the Jesuit Republic and its war against Spain and Portugal.'' These events undermined the reputation of the Jesuits in Europe, laying the ground for their expulsion.Actions

Description
In 1740s the problem of Maria Theresia's succession to the Austrian throne and to the Habsburg inheritance caused a big instability in the European balance of powers which led to the War of Austrian succession. The peace that followed the conflict, provoked by the foreign opposition to the Pragmatic Sanction stated by the former Emperor Charles VI and ended with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, resulted in a well defined rivalry between major European powers forming essentially two main political formations: the alliance of the socalled 'Bourbon family pact' (France, Spain, Naples and the latest Parma, all with members of the same House of Bourbons) with Prussia and the alliance between Austria, Russia and England. Disappointed by England's interested approaches to the emerging power of Prussia wich led to the Convention of Westminster, a treaty with which both countries would avoid any foreign military presence or access in the German territories, Austria strengthened her political ties with Saxony, Russia and Sweden and started new diplomatic handlings with France, traditionally an arch-enemy of the Habsburgs since the old dispute over the Burgundian inheritance but for sure the most powerful antagonist to the rising British colonial empire. And an alliance with France would also mean the support of Spain and the Bourbon Italian monarchies. That diplomatic move would lead to a huge world conflict fought in the years between 1756 and 1763: the socalled 'Seven Years War'.Actions

- Monarch Fernando VI is active
Will happen on January 12, 1753
Description
It was a constant for Catholic monarchs to attempt to reduce the power of Rome in their countries. The justification for this struggle was the belief that the right to rule as monarch emanated directly from God, cornerstone of the Feudal system, but it was a fight for power and money. The means to achieve this independence from Rome were the regalias extracted from the Pope when the King was in a position of strength. The main regalias were the Royal patronage and the Royal exequatur. The exequatur allowed Kings to intervene in the application of Pontifical decisions, while the patronage gave them the right to decide in the distribution of Church money and fill vacant positions with their candidates. Fernando the Catholic, after a long struggle, obtained the control of the Church of the Americas, while Carlos I and Felipe II obtained important regalias. With Felipe V, the pro-Habsburg Church and the Bourbon King clashed to the point of reaching a suspension of relations in 1709. But the papacy of the eighteenth century was in no position to contest the growing independence of the temporal powers, while the revival of Spain under the Bourbons rendered hopeless any struggle against the resolve of the monarchs to regulate the internal affairs of the Kingdom. On January 11, 1753, Fernando VI and Pope Benedict XIV signed a concordat re-establishing relations. The Concordat of 1753 awarded the King of Spain Universal Royal Patronage, and reserved for the Pope the right to name only 52 ecclesiastical positions in the Spanish empire, none outside of Spain. The high-ranking Churchmen knew very well to whom they owed allegiance from then on.Actions

Sicilian Leopoldo Gregorio, marquis of Squillace (in Calabria), was his favorite minister. Carlos, after 30 years of absence from Spain did not identify himself with the country, and was a reformist, clear example of enlightened absolutism. The Government of Esquilache, as he was known in Spain, introduced very needed economic reforms, but was defeated in its attempts to tax the nobility. However the creation of the Royal Lottery increased the state revenues, and the economical power of the Church was limited. Other important measures were the banning of private weapons, and the night lighting and organization of trash cleaning in Madrid, considered the dirtiest city in Europe.Actions

Description
After the violent expulsion of the Guarani, in 1756, the Portuguese started occupaying the area awarded to them by the Treaty of Madrid, but they never surrendered Colonia de Sacramento to the Spaniards. When Fernando VI died in 1759, the new King, Carlos III, immediately rejected the Treaty as very detrimental for Spanish interests, as Spain had surrendered a big territory for a small settlement that was never paid. In 1761, he obtained from Portugal the annulment of the Treaty. But the next year Spain was forced to enter the Seven Years War in support of France against England. Since Portugal was allied to England, Pedro Ceballos once more conquered Colonia de Sacramento. However since France and Spain lost the war, at the Treaty of Paris in 1763, for the third time Sacramento had to be returned to Portugal, although the area of Seven Villages was recovered. The Indians once more started to return to their lands, but the prosperity of the region had been greatly affected. The final straw was the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. Although an attempt was made to preserve their system, the Crown administrators proved less capable and more corrupt than the Jesuits, and had troubles with the Indians, leading to the ruin of the former Jesuit Reductions system in Paraguay.Actions

After the Esquilache riots, a comission was formed to investigate their instigators. It was considered that the populace could not produce the ellaborate pamphlets that had inflamated the masses. Probably the nobility was behind them, since they hated Esquilache for his fiscal policies of taxing the rich. However the comission found a more convenient scapegoat, the Society of Jesus. Already at a low point after their expulsion from Portugal in 1758, and France in 1764, the Jesuits were seeing as being more affect to the Pope than to the King, and had a fame of regicides after the assesination attempt at Jose I of Portugal of which they were accused of having prior knowledge. Secret orders were distributed to be opened at midnight on the first of April, and in the next morning, 6000 Jesuits were marched like convicts to the coast and embarked towards Papal States. The Spanish and Italian Bourbons, then used all their influence to have the order suppressed by the next Pope in 1673. The properties of the Jesuits in Spain and all her territories were seized, and the important void that the Jesuits left in higher education was used to reform it.Actions

In 70 years the Jesuits had created 20 villages and 18 missions, although four were closed due to plagues. The Franciscans arrived with the idea of expanding north, and unlike the Jesuits, had full support of the Crown, because there was news of the arrival of the Russians to the coasts of California. Fray Junípero founded the mission of San Diego the next year, Monterrey in 1770, and San Francisco in 1776. Soon there were nine Franciscan missions in Alta California thanks to the untiring priests, incorporating a big territory to the crown of Spain. Around the missions soon cities started to grow, and colonists from Spain arrived.Actions

Description
The prestige gained at Lepanto, allowed the Mediterranean galley fleets of Spain to survive past their usefulness. To man them, the Spanish Justice automatically exchanged the death penalty for 10 years as a galley conscript forming part of the chusma (rowing gang). Both penalties were equivalent, as nobody could survive ten years as a galley oarsman due to the appalling conditions. Lesser crimes could net the offender with a minimum of two years service. Already in mid 1600s, the Navy High Command started to reject the use of galleys in combat as they simply could not face a ship of the line and survive. However the Justice Department demanded their use as floating labor prisons for their supposed deterrent effect on crime. When the decadent Spanish Navy was reorganized by the Marquis of Ensenada and converted back into a first rate Navy, it was clear that the remaining galleys had to be disposed of, and in the Royal decree of March 12, 1771 it was ordered that the punishment in galleys had to be exchanged by forced labor in the Shipyards. But the Justice Department would still have it their way, and the decree was suspended in 1785 with the galley conscription restored. The Navy then decided to stop maintaining the existing galleys and did not build any new one, so in a few years they were all decommissioned, and a new Royal decree on December 30, 1803 finally abolished the galley punishment for lack of galleys. After more than three thousand years reigning in the Mediterranean, the galleys were finally gone.Actions

Description
To the Spanish monarchy, the American war of independence was an opportunity to recover the losses to Britain in the Seven Years War. However opposition to the war within the government and concerns in supporting a colonial rebellion, delayed the entrance of Spain in the war. Cautiously, Spain decided to support the rebels under cover, providing guns, supplies and money. The money was provided through the French government, who conveniently forgot to inform about its origin to the rebels. Meanwhile, preparations for a likely war proceed and Bernardo de Gálvez assambled an army in Louisiana.Actions

Description
Starting in 1719, a new Indian nation appeared in the plains bordering New Mexico. They were a branch of the Shoshone, and were the first native nation to use extensively the horse that made the buffalo culture possible. Besides hunting and trading, they also depredated all the rest of the Indian tribes and Spaniards, driving the Apache southward and the Ute westward. They mounted regular large scale raids that stole just about every horse and mule in New Mexico and Northern Mexico, and put a good dent in the available supply in Texas. They also captured women and children as slaves. When the Spaniards inquired about their name to the Ute, the answer was Kohmahts (those who are against us), interpreted by the Spaniards as Comanche. In the 1770s the Jupe Comanche were leaded by a charismatic chieftain, Cuerno Verde (Greenhorn), and his attacks put the Spanish frontier at the brink of collapse. Juan Bautista de Anza, had been made Governor of New Mexico after his famous land expedition to Monterey (California), and he understood that peace with the Comanche could not be achieved unless Cuerno Verde was defeated. He led an expedition in 1779 with 600 soldiers, militia and Pueblo Indians. He was later joined by 200 Ute and Apache against the common enemy. After a surprise attack from the North, the Spaniards killed Cuerno Verde and 50 comanche warriors. With his death the Comanche were ready to sign a peace with Spain, but were still at war with the Ute. Anza mediated between the Ute and the Comanche and finally achieved a permanent peace treaty between the Comanche and Spain and the Ute in 1786. This peace treaty would last until the end of the Spanish presence in North America.Actions

Description
The United States of America declared their independence from Britain in 1776. After some years of supporting the American Patriots under cover, the Spanish monarchy formally declared war to the King of England. One of the greatest impacts of the Spanish navy in that war was keeping the British in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico from reinforcing their land troops. Unlike France, however, Spain refused to recognize the independence of the United States. Spain was not keen on encouraging similar anti-colonial rebellions in the Spanish Empire.Actions

During the war against England of 1779-1783, and due to the war expenses and the reduction in the American trade from the English blockade, the Spanish government incurred in a large debt. The emission of letters of payment was unsuccessful due to lack of confidence, and thus Francisco Cabarrus, presented the project for a national bank to the Count of Floridablanca, following the example of other countries. By Royal decree, on June 2, 1782, the national bank of San Carlos was created. The bank was successful in dealing with the situation, and was even capable of surviving the Napoleonic war of independence, being converted in 1829 into the bank of San Fernando, that in 1856 will become the Spanish national bank.Actions

Description
The Spanish naval flag was white with the arms of the Bourbons, and this created problems to distinguish national ships from ships belonging to other countries also with white flags, and specially from those also ruled by Bourbons (France, Parma, Tuscany and Two-Sicilies). Carlos III decided to change the naval flag, and he was presented with 12 designs selected by Antonio Valdes, minister of the navy, from a contest. They were two color combinations of red, yellow, white and blue, having only in common the fact that they could be easily distinguished from far away. His choice was a flag with two horizontal red stripes separated by a yellow stripe, but the King decided to further modify it and make the yellow stripe twice as wide, making it even more characteristic. In 1843, under the rule of Isabel II, it was decided that the naval flag would constitute the national flag of Spain.Actions

Description
After the secession of the thirteen English colonies in North America and several revolts in the Spanish colonies, the Court was particularly worried about the situation in the colonies. In 1783 the count of Aranda, Secretary of the King of Spain, proposed a bold plan: turning the colonial viceroyalties into independent vassal Kingdoms of Spain ruled by members of the Spanish royal family. The King would have become King of Spain and Emperor of 'India'. The suggested new Kingdoms were: Mexico (the viceroyalty of New Spain), Tierra Firme (viceroyalty of New Granada) and Perú (viceroyalty of Perú and La Plata). In fact the project was never realised, and less than 20 years later the definite secession of Spain's American colonies began.Actions

In 1789 Alejandro Malaspina organized a great scientific expedition to all the spanish colonies. The results of the expedition were awesome, with a great amount of new geographical, biological and anthropological discoveries, as well as a much better cartography of poorly known remote regions. Unfortunately, at his arrival back in Spain, the political situation didn't allow a proper recognition of his achievements.Actions

Description
Royalist refugees from the French possessions in the Caribbean fled to Trinidad to take advantage of the Spanish King's order to accept any and all settlers provided that they were Catholic and would swear an oath to himself. They were followed in short order by radical Jacobins fleeing the backlash for their earlier excesses and refugees from the slave revolt in Haiti. These Frenchmen outnumbered the Spanish and English settler together as late as 1803. They remained French at heart and were ready to deliver Trinidad to the French crown if war broke out. However the British garrison proved large enough to intimidate them into inaction.Actions

It started on the 8th of October with 22 shocks in seven minutes, and continued with aftershocks until the 22nd of November. The entire city and its fortifications were leveled, and one third of the garrison and a great number of the inhabitants perished. Famine and sickness had started to aggravate the situation when the bey of Mascara, Muhammed el-Kebir, appeared before the town with 30,000 men. By a prodigy of courage and in a hand-to-hand combat, the Spanish soldiers under the exhortation of their commander, Joaquín Mayone, count of Cumbre Hermosa, were able to repel the attacks, defeating the bey's army on the 18th September 1791. But their heroic victory was in vain, as on the 12th their government had already offered the city back to Algiers, and on the 22nd of September a treaty was signed between Carlos IV and the dey Muhammad of Algiers for the unconditional surrender of Oran and Mazalquivir.Actions

Description
The French revolution in France coincided with a change of monarch in Spain. The Spanish monarchy, as those of other European countries, was horrified by the events, and blamed the enlightenment and liberalism of the previous decades. The French revolution was considered an infectious disease that had to be stopped before it spreaded. Internally, the borders with France were closed, and all the reformation programs were stopped. Censorship and repression were instaurated and left in the hands of the Inquisition, that will prosecute the main reformists. Cabarrus was imprisoned, Jovellanos exiled, and Campomanes ousted. Externally, the prime minister Floridablanca was given the job of saving the life of Louis XVI of France, cousin of the Spanish King, and when he failed, the traditional alliance with France was broken and an alliance was sought with Great Britain, Holland, Austria, Portugal and Prussia, forming the First Coalition.Actions

Manuel Godoy was an army officer that raised to power through his affairs with the Queen of Spain, Maria Luisa de Parma. He became prime minister just prior to the declaration of war by Revolutionary France to Spain, after the reaction of Carlos IV to his cousin Louis XVI execution. After initial Spanish successes, the previous prime minister, the Count of Aranda, defended peace negotiations, but the war was popular and Godoy persisted until it turned into a disaster. At the peace of Basilea in 1795, Spain ceded the island of Santo Domingo to France and Godoy was given the title of Prince of Peace. At the first treaty of San Ildefonso in 1796 between France and Spain, Godoy turned the Spanish foreign policy into French hands, leading to a permanent confrontation with England of catastrophic consequences. Despite his efforts he failed to improve the economy. Finally his submission to Napoléon will lead to the invasion of Spain, and the forced abdication of Carlos IV. He was exiled by Fernando VII, and rehabilitated by Isabel II in 1847, a few years before his death in Paris.Actions

Description
Intermarriage with the Spanish and the gradual spread of Spanish influence, culture and Catholicism in the vicinity of Valdivia eventually caused many Mapuche and Huilliche tribesmen to become reconciled to Spanish rule. The colonial government convened several Parliaments to negotiate with the tribes after putting down a rebellion the previous year. The tribes acknowledged the sovereignty of the Spanish Crown and were allowed to retain their lands and social structure. They were also meant to defend the land against Spain's enemies and the Spanish to defend them from hostile tribes. This generally pacified the province, but the last resistance to Spanish and Chilean authority wasn't broken for almost another century.Actions

Description
Over centuries, Spain had become a very improductive country. Its economy was mainly based in agriculture, yet a great deal of its land were in dead hands: nobles that did not pay taxes and could not afford to cultivate them, and the Church. Also many urban properties were in the hands of conventual orders. As a result, tax income was low. The liberals proposed a disentailment of these improductive properties, and the acute need for money during the war with Britain forced the approval of the measure. However it was a missed opportunity. The impoverished peasants could not afford the disentailed properties, and their communal lands were also taken out of their hands and sold. It only profited the bourgeoisie and rich nobles that bought the properties at a reduced price, and even the State was shortchanged by the corruption and by the subsidies that it had to pay to the Church as compensation. It also produced the irrecoverable loss of many books and cultural goods property of the Church. In the end the Spanish disentailments turned out to be another good idea with a bad implementation. Their social and economic effects were negligible, although they provided short term money for the state treasury.Actions

Description
After the signing of the second treaty of San Ildefonso, France started to pressure Spain to collaborate in an invasion of Portugal to dislodge her from her alliance with England. Carlos IV was the father-in-law of Joao VI, prince of Brazil and regent of Portugal, and did not desire a conflict, but French pressure was too strong. Joao could not accept Napoléon's demands of ceding a quarter of his territory to Spain as a guarantee, and so the war became inevitable. On May 20, 1801, Godoy invaded Portugal from three points, and in nine days completely defeated the Portuguese army, before the French army sent to participate in the campaign could cross Spain. Godoy sent a branch of an orange tree from the moat of Elvas to his Queen and lover, and hence the name of the war. But Carlos IV had no intention of leaving Portugal in the hands of Napoléon, and against his instructions, signed the treaty of Badajoz with Joao. It was a very favorable treaty for Portugal, who had to pay indemnities to France, close her ports to British ships, cede a small part of the Guiana to France, and the small town of Olivenza to Spain. The treaty was signed on the 8th of June, but dated on the 6th, so Carlos could ignore Napoléon's instructions received on the 7th. Napoléon was furious and did not ratify the treaty until the 29th of September.Actions

Description
The Mutiny of Aranjuez was an early nineteenth century popular uprising against King Charles IV, which managed to overthrow him and place his son, Ferdinand VII, on the throne. Although it is generally considered to be the first directly political act of the Spanish people, it is known that many of Ferdinand's supporters took part in inciting the revolt. The mutiny was initially directed towards the Prime Minister, Manuel de Godoy. Godoy, a former member of the Royal Guard, was highly unpopular with both the Spanish peasants and the nobles. The people were upset at his ambitious nature, his flirting with many women of the court, and his willingness to sign nationally detrimental treaties with France against Great Britain. The nobles were also annoyed at the fact that Godoy had attained enormous power without belonging to their social stratum. Another important factor was the economic crisis that was affecting the country, heightened after Spain lost the core of its navy at Trafalgar in 1805, all but crippling its trade with the American colonies. This caused food shortages and damaged industrial production. Ultimately, the King and Godoy had allowed Napoléon's troops to cross Spain in order to attack Portugal, which wouldn't adhere to the Emperor's embargo on Great Britain. This move was extremely unpopular with the Spanish people, who saw the entry as an invasion, which it would soon become. The French troops rapidly occupied important cities like San Sebastián, Pamplona and Barcelona, thus causing a strong sentiment against the French and Godoy. The uprising itself occurred on March 17th, 1808 in the town of Aranjuez, about 48 km south of Madrid. Members of popular classes, soldiers and peasants assaulted Godoy's residence and captured him, and the King was forced to dismiss him. Two days later, the court forced Charles IV to abdicate and give the throne to his son and rival, Ferdinand VII.Actions

Description
Following the national unrest caused by Aranjuez, Napoléon found the overall situation of great interest with regards to his own political machinations, in particular the subjugation of Spain with as few French casualties as possible. Thus, under the false pretence of solving the problem, the Emperor invited both Charles IV and Ferdinand VII to Bayonne in the south of France. Both monarchs were afraid of the Emperor's power and thought it prudent to accept the invitation. However, once in Bayonne, Napoléon forced both Charles and Ferdinand to renounce the throne of Spain and grant it to himself. The Emperor then named his brother Joseph as King of Spain and dispatched him to Madrid at the head of a large French army, in order to establish the new dynasty and invade Portugal. Joseph would, however, leave Spain for good in May 1812, leaving his few remaining supporters, the ''afrancesados,'' to their fate. This episode is known as the Abdications of Bayonne, and paved the way for five years of sporadic, impractical and highly disputed Napoleonic rule in Spain.Actions

Description
The internal situation of Spain, with the struggle between absolutists and liberals, contributed to the independence of the colonies. The deathblow to Spain's ability to keep her American colonies happened in 1820, when the troops, commanded by General Riego, prepared to go overseas, revolted in Cadiz (Spain) in favor of the Constitution of 1812, ending provisionally the absolutist regime.Actions

Description
England received Florida in return for Havana in 1763 and replaced its military government with civilian officials. During the U.S. War of Independence, the area was used as a base for attacks on colonial coastal cities. Three decades of instability followed Florida's return to Spain after the war. General Andrew Jackson's capture of Pensacola led to the cession of Florida to the United States in a treaty signed in 1819.Actions

Action A of 260017 - An exchange between two continents for PortugalDescription
The return to the Status Quo Ante situation in the region between Rio de la Plata and Brazil imposed by the Treaty of Paris of 1763 was unsatisfactory to both parts. Colonia de Sacramento continuous contraband was a thorn in Spanish colonial monopoly, and Portugal ambitioned the San Pedro region, not recognizing the Spanish right to it. Spain blockaded Sacramento to reduce contraband, further infuriating the Luso-Brazilians. In 1767 they attacked Rio Grande de San Pedro, expelling the Spaniards from the area. Tensions mounted for several years as the Portuguese established numerous ranches in the seized area with stock stolen from the mission estancias. This lead to military build up in the region. But while Spain was trying to reach a diplomatic agreement, the Marquis of Pombal was betting on a military victory. While negotiations were being conducted in 1776, the Portuguese attacked and further pushed the Spaniards South at the disputed border. This deception was the last straw for Spain. A great fleet was assambled, formed by 116 ships and 19,000 men, under command of Pedro Ceballos. To better cope with Portuguese ambitions, the Viceroyalty of La Plata was created, and Pedro Ceballos named first Viceroy. The Ceballos campaign of 1777 was a complete success. He soon conquered the island of Santa Catalina and Colonia de Sacramento, where the Portuguese bastion was leveled. He was going to continue with the conquest of San Pedro when orders arrived from Madrid to stop the offensive. With the death of José I of Portugal, his daughter María had fired the Marquis of Pombal, and desired peace with her uncle, King Carlos III of Spain. The Spanish prime minister, Floridablanca, also wanted a free hand to take advantage of the American Revolution, so a peace treaty was signed at San Ildefonso on October 1, 1777, and confirmed in the Treaty of El Pardo in 1778. Portugal ceded Colonia del Sacramento to Spain, but retained Santa Catalina and San Pedro in exchange for the African island of Fernando Po (now Bioko) and full commercial rights in the African coast between the Niger and Ogoue rivers. Furthermore, for the first time since the separation of Portugal, relations between the Iberians became excellent until Napoleon interfered.Actions

In England, Antonio Perez was also well received. Elisabeth was continuing her attacks on Spain, and the information provided by Antonio Perez constituted the basis for the attack on Cadiz by Howard in 1596. He continued plotting against the Spanish monarchy. With Henri IV of France he plotted the invasion of Aragon, and with Elisabeth of England the invasion of Naples, but everything failed. Henri was forced to sign the peace of Vervins in 1598, due to the difficult economical situation, and the English suffered a tremendous defeat in their naval attack to the Azores. Antonio Perez lost the favor of foreign monarchs, but continued writing libels against Felipe II, contributing to his black legend. He finally died poor and forgotten in Paris, in 1611.Actions

Action A of 17406 - Charles V's Mercenary Army Sacks Rome for Papal StatesDescription
The 14,000 lansquenets, hired by Charles V in the war against the League of Cognac under the command of Georg von Frundsberg, were animated by a violent spirit of crusade against the Pope (Frundsberg was bringing a golden rope with which he insanely meant to hang the Pope and his cardinals!) but also, and most of all, angry for lack of pay. Abandoned by their captains, they begun to plunder villages in search of loots. Soon they were joined by 6,000 Spanish soldiers lead by Charles, Connétable de Bourbon, and by any sort of ruffians of any condition (mercenaries at the Emperor's service, deserting or disbanded troops of the League and common criminals), all of them with the common aim to make the way to Rome, the city of sin, and 'sack' it. On the morning of 6 May 1527, from his headquarters set up on the Gianicolo hill, Captain General Bourbon with his 40,000 soldiers launched a series of attacks on Rome. During one of them, at the Torrione Gate, while leading the assault of the walls, he himself was mortally wounded (Benvenuto Cellini, who took part in the defence of the walls, would boast about having shot the deadly bullet). Instead of being let down, the Spanish troops' confidence was boosted by their commander's sudden death and at the expenses of big losses, managed to break through the city walls and enter the Borgo while the imperial lansquenets broke rushed towards the Holy See. Pope Clement VII and his followers were able to escape into safety, thanks to the 'Passetto', a secret corridor which Pope Alexander VI had built along the top of the wall connecting the Vatican with Castel Sant'Angelo. Across the Sisto bridge the bewildered soldiers fell on the unarmed city and for eight days committed every sort of violence, theft, sacrilege and massacre. The streets were a mixture of drunken soldiers, corpses and heaps of every sort of luxury goods taken from churches, monasteries and palaces. No league army dared to enter the city to drive out the ravaging troops and rescue the Pope, who accepted to pay a huge ransom only six months later. Although the exact role of the emperor in this act is unclear, it hurt his standing internationally, and caused something of a domestic crisis. It was one of the motivations for the alliance between England and France in 1527, and for the war with those countries that followed.Actions

Action A of 179082 - Charles VI elected Holy Roman Emperor for AustriaDescription
The war of Spanish succession seemed about to be won by the Grand Alliance in 1709, with France completely defeated in all fronts. Only the war in Spain seemed favorable to the Bourbons, but Louis XIV was ready to abandon his grandson in exchange for peace. But the allies were frustrated by their inability to impose the Archduke on the Spaniards, and surprised by their stern resistance, and went too far in their conditions demanding that Louis should remove his own grandson from the throne of Spain by force. This was a humiliation too big to endure, and Louis understood that he was negotiating from a position of weakness and decided to break the negotiations and renew the fight. Time would prove him right, as dissensions were already dividing the allies as the French threat receded. The Dutch and the Austrians were already at odds over the Spanish Netherlands, and the Austrians were seeing as not doing their part, occupied with the Hungarian revolt. The turning point was the unexpected death of Emperor Joseph I, at 33 years of age in April 1711. While Charles left Spain and went to Vienna to be elected emperor, the allies were not ready to reconstruct the empire of Charles V, and England immediately started peace negotiations with France without informing the Dutch or Austria.Actions

Action A of 260162 - War of Acclamation for PortugalDescription
By the 1640s, the nobility of Portugal were more than just annoyed with their Spanish captivity. None of the supposed benefits of the union with Spain had come to pass. Despite Felipe II's assurances that Spain would respect the Portuguese constitution and its customes, by the time of Felipe IV, taxes were imposed and most all key posts in the government were held by Castilians. Portugal's colonial possessions were also under attack with Spain's enemies, the English and the Dutch. Frustrated by a union that had out lived its usefulness, a group of conspirators began to meet regularly and chose the Duke of Bragança to be their future sovereign. Although a mild-mannered man, the conspiring nobles chose the duke as he had the best claim to throne. Additionally, his confidence was bolstered by his wife, the scheming Luisa de Guzman, daughter of the Spanish Duke of Medina Sidonia. Having orchestrated their rebellion perfectly, the nobles quickly took the palace and the people of Lisbon took control of the city. News of the succesful revolt rapidly spread and one by one the Portuguese defeated the Spanish garrisons. On December 15th of 1640, the Duke and Duchess of Bragança were crowned King and Queen of Portugal.Actions

The King's bodyguards immediately threw themselves at Henri of Navarre's feet and swore fealty to him. The Catholic League responded by proclaiming Cardinal de Bourbon the true King of France. But Henri surprised everyone by abjuring Protestantism. Paris soon surrendered and his legitimacy soared. The Catholic League suffered continued defeats and eventually dispersed.Actions

Action A of 12062 - French Encirclement by the Habsburgs for FranceDescription
Until 1635, France had played a minimal part in the Thirty Years War, limiting her involvements in diplomatic and political measures: financially supporting the Protestant cause against the Habsburg party in order to weaken his authority in the Empire or making short-lived military interventions in Northern Italy as to interrupt the military supply line between the Habsburg dominions of Spain and Austria. But in 1635 the Emperor and the German princes stipulated a peace treaty in Prague, with which the Protestant rulers were allowed to retain secularized bishoprics held by them in 1627, the enforcement of the Edict of Restitution was delayed for 40 years, the armies of the Emperor and of the German states were reunited to one imperial army and the German princes were forbidden to have alliances between them or with foreign powers. Since this treaty acknowledged the authority of the Habsburg party in the Empire and subsequently it renewed the threat for France of being surrounded at her borders, Cardinal Richelieu decided it was the moment for France to enter a preventive war against Spain and Austria. The religious character of the early war lost any real significance, from now on a struggle for the hegemony in Europe would take place.Actions

Action A of 201000 - The Knights request the help of Spain for Order of St. JohnDescription
When the Order of St. John was expelled from Rhodes in 1523, it underwent a crisis. Their possessions were being confiscated all over Europe, by both Catholic and Protestant rulers, their income was shrinking and their recruits stopped coming. They desperately needed a base, preferably by reconquering Rhodes, otherwise an island in the Aegean, but no one would help and Venice actively opposed them. Europe was at war and there was no place for their neutrality. The Emperor Carlos however came up with a master idea. He offered Malta to the Hospitallers. Malta was difficult to defend from the growing Ottoman power, but the Knights were a tough breed. They would give their lives defending his shipping lines to Sicily. In 1524 the Hospitallers sent a commission to Malta. Their report was very negative. The island could not sustain itself and the defences were very poor. Then Carlos decided to include Tripoli as part of an all or nothing deal. The Knights thought even less of Tripoli. They did not have the resources to upgrade its defenses. But having no other option, the Chapter General decided in 1527 to accept the offer despite the opposition of the French Langues. They still had hopes of recovering Rhodes, but in 1530 they gave up and moved to Malta, taking possession also of Tripoli. From then on, the Spaniards and the Knights of St. John would fight their battles in North Africa together.Actions

To preserve Habsburg hegemony, Felipe IV listened to El Conde-Duque Olivares and helped his cousin capture Montferrat and Mantua. Arrival of the French forced de Saboya to withdraw (Peace of Susa Apr 1630), while developments in Germany induced the Habsburgs to sign the Peace of Regensburg (Oct 1630) - reducing Habsburg forces in Italy. Olivares called it 'little better than a surrender'. Yet France didn't accept the terms and continued warring in Italy until the Treaty of Cherasco (1631) satisfied all parties.Actions

However Sulu and Magindanao had been weakened. By then Spain had gotten hold of a large part of Magindanao, and strong immigration by Christian Filipinos was changing the demography of the island. Sulu would continue the wars and rebellions into the North American conquest of the Philippines, but Magindanao came under Spanish control except for the occasional rebellion.Actions

Action A of 260161 - War of Acclamation for PortugalDescription
By the 1640s, the nobility of Portugal were more than just annoyed with their Spanish captivity. None of the supposed benefits of the union with Spain had come to pass. Despite Felipe II's assurances that Spain would respect the Portuguese constitution and its customes, by the time of Felipe IV, taxes were imposed and most all key posts in the government were held by Castilians. Portugal's colonial possessions were also under attack with Spain's enemies, the English and the Dutch. Frustrated by a union that had out lived its usefulness, a group of conspirators began to meet regularly and chose the Duke of Bragança to be their future sovereign. Although a mild-mannered man, the conspiring nobles chose the duke as he had the best claim to throne. Additionally, his confidence was bolstered by his wife, the scheming Luisa de Guzman, daughter of the Spanish Duke of Medina Sidonia. Having orchestrated their rebellion perfectly, the nobles quickly took the palace and the people of Lisbon took control of the city. News of the succesful revolt rapidly spread and one by one the Portuguese defeated the Spanish garrisons. On December 15th of 1640, the Duke and Duchess of Bragança were crowned King and Queen of Portugal.Actions

Action B of 260017 - An exchange between two continents for PortugalDescription
The return to the Status Quo Ante situation in the region between Rio de la Plata and Brazil imposed by the Treaty of Paris of 1763 was unsatisfactory to both parts. Colonia de Sacramento continuous contraband was a thorn in Spanish colonial monopoly, and Portugal ambitioned the San Pedro region, not recognizing the Spanish right to it. Spain blockaded Sacramento to reduce contraband, further infuriating the Luso-Brazilians. In 1767 they attacked Rio Grande de San Pedro, expelling the Spaniards from the area. Tensions mounted for several years as the Portuguese established numerous ranches in the seized area with stock stolen from the mission estancias. This lead to military build up in the region. But while Spain was trying to reach a diplomatic agreement, the Marquis of Pombal was betting on a military victory. While negotiations were being conducted in 1776, the Portuguese attacked and further pushed the Spaniards South at the disputed border. The deception was the last straw for Spain. A great fleet was assambled, formed by 116 ships and 19,000 men, under command of Pedro Ceballos. To better cope with Portuguese ambitions, the Viceroyalty of La Plata was created, and Pedro Ceballos named first Viceroy. The Ceballos campaign of 1777 was a complete success. He soon conquered the island of Santa Catalina and Colonia de Sacramento, where the Portuguese bastion was leveled. He was going to continue with the conquest of San Pedro when orders arrived from Madrid to stop the offensive. With the death of José I of Portugal, his daughter María had fired the Marquis of Pombal, and desired peace with her uncle, King Carlos III of Spain. The Spanish prime minister, Floridablanca, also wanted a free hand to take advantage of the American revolution, so a peace treaty was signed at San Ildefonso on October 1, 1777, and confirmed in the Treaty of El Pardo in 1778. But this time Portugal has refused a peaceful solution. Let's retake what it is ours by force.Actions

This decision was received with horror by the Sienese who begged with Charles V not to proceed. He refused, and several Sienese citizens in Rome received aid from French agents and collected an army. In 1552, as they marched on Siena the people revolted and threw out the Spanish troops, and an independent Siena took up a pro-French policy. Henri II, King of France, tried to exploit the situation by sending there an army led by Paul de Termes, who was successively substituted by Strozzi when an invasion of Corsica was attempted with the help of the Turkish fleet. On Emperor Charles V's decision to inflict an exemplary punishment upon the rebeling city, Cosimo I Duke of Tuscany responded to his call by invading and pillaging the villages surrounding Siena with the help of Spanish/imperial troops. After a year long siege laid by Medeghino and his Florentine troops, the city of Siena was eventually taken.Actions

It was impossible for Atahuallpa to understand anything, as it was the first time he saw a book, and the interpreter barely could speak some words of Spanish or Quechua. Irritated, Atahuallpa threw down the Bible and demanded compensation for the plundering of the Spaniards. His act triggered an attack by the Spaniards. 'Santiago! Y a ellos!' Was the war cry that echoed through the great plaza at Cajamarca. Spanish cavalry charged into the courtyard, slashing at Inca flesh. Even unarmed, the Inca opposed determined resistance and hundreds of them were killed. However with the capture of the Emperor, resistance collapsed and the survivors escaped.

A month later, he became duke of Savoy on the death of his father, but this was a nearly empty honor, as the vast majority of his hereditary lands had been occupied and administered by the French since 1536. Instead, he continued to serve the Habsburgs in hopes of recovering his lands, and served Philip II as lieutenant general in Flanders. In this capacity he personally led the Spanish invasion of northern France and won a brilliant victory at Saint-Quentin on 10 August 1557. With the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis between France and Spain, the duchy was restored to Emmanuel-Philibert, who then married Margaret of Valois, sister of Henry II of France.Actions

Action A of 285127 - The great siege of Malta for SpainDescription
Spain was the first nation in the world to create a permanent specific naval infantry unit in 1537. This was the Old Company of the Sea of Naples composed by harquebusiers to fight on board of galleys. In the winter of 1564, spies informed of a powerful Ottoman fleet being readied in Constantinople. On May 18, 1565 their target is revealed when the Janissaries land in Malta. Already two weeks before, Álvaro de Bazán had gone from the strait to Barcelona to embark 4,000 soldiers. The Mediterranean galleys of Gil de Andrade joined him at Palamós, and 1.500 more soldiers were embarked in Genoa. On July 20, they arrived to Naples to embark more forces, and they were in Messina on August 5, for the final assembly with further auxiliary forces. Finally on August 25, the Viceroy of Sicily, García de Toledo, gave the order to depart, arriving to Malta on September 7, forcing the Ottomans to lift their siege on the exact same day they had scheduled their final full out assault on the few defenders left alive. Had they arrived one day later, Malta would have been lost. It was clear to Felipe II that a reaction time of four months was not acceptable, and that Spain could not project her power far away unless a permanent army capable of landing and conducting battles was assigned to the Navy and could be quickly deployed. So in February 1566 he created the Tercio de la Armada del Mar Oceano, or Tercio of the Navy of the Ocean Sea, also known as Tercio de Figueroa for his first Field Marshal, and formed by 6,700 soldiers. harquebusiers from this unit were the first to assault the Sultana, the Ottoman flagship, in the battle of Lepanto, and as a reward, its commander Lope de Figueroa was given the commission to inform the King of the victory.Actions

Action A of 241027 - A Temporary Solution for NavarreDescription
The ascension of Fernando to the throne of Castile radically changed the situation in Navarre. Castile had always supported the Beaumonts against Juan and the Gramonts, but Fernando was able to convince his father that Castile could play a role in the pacification of Navarre. Instead of dropping the support of the Beaumonts, Fernando signs with Juan the Treaty of Tudela in 1476, establishing a defensive protectorate of Castile over Navarre. The Castilian protectorate will last thirty years, and although it will not end the war between the Beaumonts and Gramonts, it will greatly abate it. It will also serve as a Spanish counterweight against the French orientation of the House of Foix. At the treaty of Pamplona-Medina del Campo in January 1494, Jean and Catherine accepted the marriage of their heir to the heir of Spain, and the continuation of the Castilian protectorate. This allowed them to defeat Jean of Foix-Narbonne, who renounced to his claim to the crown of Navarre in 1497. But the confrontation between Spain and France that was starting in Italy left no room for a neutral Navarre. Strategically, Navarre could be used as a backdoor to invade the neighboring country, allowing the armies to cross the Pyrenees unmolested. A war between France and Spain over Navarre was in the horizon. This time Navarre seemed to tilt towards Spain.Actions

In 16th century the Kingdom of Naples was at its most: flourishing economy and Arts, still good trade routes between the Middle East and the rest of Europe. Unfortunately, a powerful economy is not always being represented by a powerful ruler. Expecially the throne of Naples being claimed by two of the most powerful courts in Europe of those times, Spain and France. In his very expensive rush to the leading role of Western Europe still contested by the untamed King of France, the King of Spain eventually made the decision to send troops, officers and insignia to the capital city of the Southern Italian Kingdom in order to press claims on the crown of Naples definitively. Despite Papal firm opposition but in accordance with treaties stipulated with France which stated the definitive Spanish hegemony in the Italian Peninsula, the King of Spain was certain that his move wouldn't have found any local hostility...Actions

Action A of 285071 - Enlightenment reforms of Carlos III for SpainDescription
The reforms introduced by Esquilache were badly needed, however, the precarious economic situation suggested a more cautious approach. The liberalization of grain prices in a context of several bad crops produced a sharp increase in bread prices provoking the discontent in the lower classes. Esquilache, still impetuous and against advice by other counselors, published a decree banning the long cloaks and wide rim hats in use, because of security reasons. Indeed brigands were using the cloaks to hide weapons, and the hats to hide their identity. But for the populace of Madrid, it was the last straw from the hated Italian ministers, made responsible for the price crisis, and they riotted destroying the street lamps recently installed. They requested from the King the reduction of bread price and the expulsion of Esquilache. The King, surprised by the revolt, but seeing that his authority was not questioned, agreed to their demands. Esquilache went back to Sicily, and was years later named ambassador in Venice. However the King used the change of administration to introduce the Spanish reformists and oust the anti-reformists. Pedro Pablo Abarca, count of Aranda, became the Spanish prime minister. Aranda, took a different approach to the problem. He convinced the nobility to change their outfit, and decreed that the official executioner would dress a long cloak and wide rim hat, and soon everybody stopped using them.Actions

With the creation of a Legislative Assembly to limit the monarchic power, several reasons pushed France towards war in 1792. Internally, the republican party of the Girondins were calling for a war to rid Europe of monarchy and despotism but also to rid France of any internal reactions. Externally, the nobility, the socalled emigrés, fleeing to Austria and Prussia requested that those powers intervene to restore the French monarchy. Louis XVI, King of the French, saw in a war failure the possibility to restore absolutism. But the dissolution of the Ancien Régime in France alarmed all the European royal courts fearing that the French Jacobinism would have spread in the whole continent and provoked deep destabilization inside their own absolutist government systems.Actions

In the war of Polish succession Felipe V of Spain supported France in her fight against Austria and Russia in order to make the French candidate to be elected as King of Poland. He hoped in this way to secure Mantua for the elder son, Don Carlos, who, already Duke of Parma as Carlo I, had also the expectation of Tuscany and to give the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily to the younger son, Don Felipe. Since Austria was fighting on several fronts on the Rhine against France and on Lombardia against Savoy, Spain easily conquered Naples and Sicily which Austria had previously occupied during the war of Spanish succession. In 1735 the peace treaty that followed the war of Polish succession established that Felipe's son Carlos (later Charles III of Spain) should give up the duchy of Parma, which he had inherited in 1731 as descent of the Farnese family through his mother, Elisabetta Farnese, Queen of Spain and any claim to Tuscany, given to the Duke of Lorraine after Gian Gastone, the last of the Medicis, died. In exchange for that, Don Carlos was confirmed the possession of his conquests in Southern Italy. On 3 October 1735 Don Carlos, named Carlo VII King of Naples and Carlo V King of Sicily, established the cadet line of the Spanish House of Bourbons in the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily (renamed Kingdom of Two Sicilies after 1815).Actions

Carlos had inherited a North African situation that was turning into a nightmare. The Ottomans were calling to the doors of Vienna, and in Africa they had taken over Egypt, and with the help of the Barbary pirates, they were taking over Kingdom after Kingdom, destroying the policy of alliances that his grandfather Fernando had established. He could not let them reach the strait of Gibraltar. Worse still, they entered an alliance with France, so he was facing a simultaneous war in all fronts. To add to that, the Spanish presidios (fortresses) in Africa were very difficult to defend. When Barbarossa conquered Tunis in 1534, the fleeing Pasha al-Hassan went to the Spanish court and asked for help in exchange for vassalage. Carlos could not let the Ottomans or their allies come any closer to Spain and Italy. A huge armada was assembled and he decided to lead it in person.Actions

Action A of 12028 - The Peace of Cambrai for FranceDescription
Any league to stop Spanish hegemony didn't prove to be a solid alliance against Charles V troops (in fact, The Pope, taken captive by the lansquenets sacking Rome, abandoned the League of Cognac).. Genoa, important for military supply to the French troops fighting in Southern Italy, had turned to Spain thanks to the decisions of Andrea Doria who, dissatisfied by François Ier's misbehaviour to the Republic, preferred to offer his services to the Emperor. Since the military campaign in Italy was becoming too expensive for both sides and the political instability in the Empire due to religious conflicts was worsening, Louise of Savoy, François Ier's mother and regent of France, together with Margarete of Habsburg, Charles V's aunt and his representative in the administration of the Burgundian dominions, stipulated a peace treaty at Cambrai on 5 august 1529. The so called Ladies' Peace was successful, the signatories were the only ones who could have influence in the political decisions of the two monarchs and managed to induce them to make peace for the wealth of their respective countries. Signing that treaty, France had to renounce her claims to Milan, Asti, Flanders and Artois, while Spain gave up her inheritance rights to the Duchy of Bourgogne, a French fief. François Ier had also to withdraw all his troops from Italy and marry Eleanor, Charles's sister, in return for the liberation of his two sons, hostages at the Spanish court because of François Ier's disrespect for the treaty of Madrid. At Cambrai France abandoned her plans of expansionism in Italy while all her Italian allies joining an Anti-Spanish league would be now at the Emperor's mercy. The Republic of Florence would experience Charles V's rule.Actions

Action A of 3786 - The Restoration of the French Monarchy for FranceDescription
Many countries had view the French revolution with neutral mistrust or eager interest, but with the Reign of Terror and the Execution of King Louis most countries became abhorred. The New Republic and its ideas undermined the 'Old Order' that existed in most European countries. Those several alliances were set up to restore the Bourbons to the French Throne, crush the revolution and get Europe back to normal again. This succeeded in 1814 and again in 1815 when foreign armies brought Louis XVIII on the throne. Louis XVIII was the brother of the Executed King Louis of France and in early life was known as the Comte de Provence. He remained in Paris after the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 but escaped to Belgium two years later. After King Louis' execution in 1793 he proclaimed himself regent, and after the death of his brother's heir in 1795, he took the title Louis XVIII. He lived as an exile in various European countries until he became King after Napoléon's first abdication in 1814. On Napoléon's return to power in 1815, however, Louis again fled to BelgiumActions

In 1530 during the congress of Bologna Pope Clement VII consecrated Charles V Holy Roman Emperor and convinced him to forgive the misbehaviour of Francesco II Sforza who joined the League of Cognac, as the Pope himself did. The Pope managed to have the Emperor grant Sforza the ducal title on the throne of Milan again, but under the firm condition that, on Sforza's death, the Duchy would have returned definitely to the Empire. A marriage was also agreed between Sforza and Charles V's niece Christine of Denmark. On 2 November 1535 Duke Francesco II died childless and, according to previous agreements made during the Congress of Bologna in 1530, the Duchy of Milan reverted to the Empire. As suzerain of those fiefs, Charles V had it administrated by means of life-governors whom he himself appointed. The Emperor's decision strongly displeased François Ier of France, whose younger son Charles, in possession of the title of Duke of Orléans and thus with dynastical claims to the Milanese throne, had his candidature rejected, in spite of his assurances of allegiance to the Empire.Actions

In the same way as his father did for him, at the end of his life Emperor Maximilian made attempts to keep the imperial title amongst the members of the House of Habsburg. But his son Philip died unexpectedly early in 1506, leaving two male heirs, Charles and Ferdinand which were respectively born in 1500 and 1503. Maximilian decided to support Charles, who in 1516 was already Archduke of Burgundy, King of Spain, Sicily and Naples, in his investiture as King of the Romans and future Holy Roman Emperor. But this diplomatic move would have been very expensive. Most of the German princes were already supporting the French candidate, King François Ier. Maximilian seemed to successfully convoy the favour of the imperial electors towards the Habsburg cause, by means of granting investitures and making promises of large sums of money with the help of bankers such as the Fuggers and the Welsers. The Pope, who couldn't accept the presence of an Emperor with territorial claims in Italy as it was under the rule of Emperor Frederick II, would have supported a German prince like Friedrich III of Saxony, with no particular interest laying beyond the Alps. Looking for international credit, also Henry VIII King of England took part in the imperial election offering his candidature but withdrew soon after the first consultations.Actions

The Beaumonts supported the invasion, and surrendered Pamplona to the Old Duke of Alba. The Gramonts were quickly overrun. The French armies under command of the Dauphin made numerous mistakes, ignoring the requests of Jean d'Albret, using the Navarrans and Gascoigners to lead the assaults and abusing the local population. The siege of Pamplona was a complete failure, and with the arrival of the winter they suffered grave loses, retreating back to France in a difficult march across the Pyrenees. By the spring of 1513, the Spaniards had resisted the French attack in the Basque region and were the masters of Navarre. That year, Fernando was crowned King of Navarre, and in 1515, he surprisingly decided to incorporate Navarre to the Kingdom of Castile.Actions

Action A of 82004 - The Fall of Tenochtitlan for Aztec EmpireDescription
When Hernando Cortes reached Tenochtitlan with 300 Spaniards and 3000 Tlaxcalans, he was received by Motehcuzoma. The Spaniards were horrified by the volume of the human sacrifices of the Aztecs, and overcome by greed over so much gold. Cortes demands on Motehcuzoma to abandon his pagan gods weakened his position as a god himself. Aware of his precarious position Cortes captured Motehcuzoma, but when news arrived that Panfilo de Narvaez had been sent by Diego Velazquez to capture him, he left Pedro de Alvarado in charge and went back with 80 men to Cempoala, where he half-defeated, half-convinced Narvaez army of 1500 men to join him, and then returned to Tenochtitlan with additional Tlaxcalan reinforcements. But in his absence Alvarado had managed to massacre half of the notables of the city, triggering a rebellion. Cortes exhorted Motehcuzoma to appease his subjects, but these killed him out of rage for being on the Spaniards side. Cortes understood that they had to retreat to Tlaxcala, but the secret nightly escape was discovered and 800 Spaniards and 5,000 Indian allies were killed, while the rest narrowly escaped, Cortes losing two fingers, in what was to be known as the Noche Triste (Sad Night), June 30, 1520. The time for diplomacy was gone. For a year Cortes sought new allies and reorganized and trained a new army, building ships to be transported and mounted in the lake, to siege and attack the water surrounded city, and in June 1521 he was back. In a month and a half the resistance was overcome, the city demolished, and the Empire won. Except for some guerrilla fighting in the mountains, the Aztecs bowed to their new master. When the Consejo de Indias learned of the conquest of the immensely rich empire, they dismissed Diego de Velazquez charges against Cortes.Actions

Action A of 332002 - Between Spanish and Ottomans for TlemcenDescription
The confrontation between the Holy Roman Emperor and the Sultan of the Ottomans was reaching Tlemcen at a delicate point, when dynastic fights were shaking the Zayyanids. Spanish count of Alcaudete, military governor of Oran, joined in 1535 with tribal chief Ibn Radwan to help Zayyanid prince Abdallah overthrow his older brother Muhammad V. The expedition, including 600 Spanish soldiers, was almost completely wiped out by the Banu Rashid tribe. However, probably because the Spaniards had taken Tunis, Sultan Muhammad agreed to pay tribute to Oran in exchange for Spanish protection. Six years later, the expedition of more than four hundred ships sent against Barbarossa in Algiers, departed too late in the season, and surprised by a storm, lost one fourth of its effectives, having to retreat. Overstretched because of the wars of religion, and the wars against France, Carlos did not have the resources to maintain the hegemony in the Western Mediterranean against the Ottomans.Actions

Action A of 12027 - François Ier against the Empire for FranceDescription
On the 24 of February 1525, in the battle of Pavia, the imperial armies led by Ferdinando Francesco d'Avalos, Marquis of Pescara (also winner at Bicocca in 1522), decimated the French troops led by King François Ier. Many French leaders died on the battlefield, such as De la Tremoille, La Palice and Bonnivet. King François Ier, instead, fell from his horse shot out under him, and taken captive. Since 24 February was Charles V's 25th birthday, the Valois was the biggest gift he could ever receive. François was carted off to Madrid, where he was held six months in prison for ransom, and pressed to renounce his claims in Italy and Flanders, to give Bourgogne back to the Empire and to concede the county of Provence to Charles, Connétable de Bourbon, and now leader of the imperial troops. The Emperor believed that the peace with France had finally been achieved after François Ier, agreeing to renounce his claims in Italy, was freed and retaken to France, leaving his sons there as hostages and guarantees for the respect of the treaty. But within two months of his release and in spite of his sons taken as hostages in Spain, François Ier got the Parliament of Paris to void all the terms of the Treaty of Madrid because accepted under duress and in 1526 at Cognac he stipulated a holy league bringing into it Pope Clement VII together with Florence, Venice, Henry VIII of England and also the Duke of Milan, who even if previously restored to the throne by Charles V himself, voluntarily joined the alliance made to stop the Spanish hegemony over Italy.Actions

Action A of 170035 - The second treaty of San Ildefonso for FranceDescription
After the first treaty of San Ildefonso, Spain became a reliable ally for France in her wars with England, however Spain suffered the worse part. Her navy was seriously damaged, and her vital commerce with her American colonies was interrupted, strangling her economy, and she was finally forced to sue for peace. This situation left Napoléon's navy in a complete inferiority in the peninsula, as the British navy could use the ports in Portugal, her traditional ally. Napoléon needed Spanish collaboration to win the war at sea, however Spain, now at peace with England wanted to remain neutral. To Napoléon, Spanish collaboration was vital, not only to prevent shipping to England from Spanish ports, but also to enforce the blockade in Portugal. Spanish prime minister, Manuel Godoy, was given no choice, either with France or against France, and he vowed to Napoléon demands. England used the treaty as a justification to declare war to Spain.Actions

Description
Hernando Cortes expedition was intended to collect tributes and gather information only, as Diego Velazquez was the -adelantado-, with a royal charter to take possession of new lands. But Cortes was going to seize his chance. In the Mexica lands, the Aztec Tlatoani, or Prime Speaker, Motehcuzoma Xocoyotzin (Angry Lord, Junior) had initiated a power concentration process, effectively becoming an emperor of the triple alliance and imposing the supremacy of Tenochtitlan over Texcoco and Tlacopan, and at the same time expanding the borders of the Aztec Empire. Due to his despotic nature he was impopular, but he was also superstitious. He identified certain signs and the presence of the strange men in the coasts, as the predicted return of the expelled god Quetzalcoatl to reclaim his Kingdom. It was unthinkable to receive the mighty Plumed Serpent with hostility, and Motehcuzoma sent great presents to the conquistadores and requested them not to come to Tenochtitlan. By stimulating their greed, his effect was obviously the opposite, and Cortes skillfully obtained from his men the formal request to direct them in a quest for gold, and they promised him 20 percent of the benefits, after the royal 20 percent was deducted. Cortes founded Veracruz, sent an envoy to the King of Spain with letters, and burnt the ships to prevent the men loyal to Diego Velazquez from returning to Cuba with the news that Cortes had stepped to the other side of the law. Now only the triumph could save him. With 1300 Totonacas allies from Cempoala, the 400 Spaniards interned into the jungle, towards Tlaxcala, a nation subjugated by the Aztecs that could be gained to their side, according to the Totonacas. The Tlaxcalans were divided, but the faction hostile to the Spaniards was defeated in battle, and several thousand Tlaxcalan warriors joined Cortes side. The Spaniards were applying the tactics learned at the war of Granada, use the divisions within the enemy to their favor, and capture the enemy leader, deciding later if it was more advantageous to release him, to keep him prisoner, or simply to kill him. The Indians, weakened by the European diseases and bitterly divided, facilitated the conquest of great empires by very few men in what constitutes one of the most amazing pages of history. After a stop at the ceremonial center of Cholula, where a terrible massacre took place, because the Tlaxcalans had several accounts to settle, the capital of the Empire, bigger than any European city of the time, awaited.Actions

Action A of 260003 - Treaty of Alcacovas for PortugalDescription
In 1469 Alfonso V of Portugal was presented with the opportunity of becoming the King of Castile when he and his brother-in-law Enrique IV of Castile agreed on his marriage to Isabel, Princess of Asturias (heir title). But the deal failed when Isabel married Fernando of Aragon. When Enrique died and Isabel proclaimed herself Queen, in 1475, he saw his chance disappearing and decided to play hard. In a month he was married to his niece, Juana, and had claimed the crown of Castile for himself, invading the country. The plan was good because Juana had also the support of France and a great part of the Castilian nobility who rebelled in her support. Despite the simultaneous invasion from France and Portugal, and the rebellion of the nobles in the West of Castile, the war did not go well. The French were stopped by the Basques, while Fernando, with troops mostly from Castile and Asturias, inflicted a crushing defeat to the Portuguese in Toro in 1476. Alfonso traveled to France to try to get a stronger involvement from Louis XI, but the French had lost interest. By then Fernando had recovered control of all the Northwest. The war at sea, that extended as far as the coast of Guinea, claimed by Castile, was also favorable to Isabel. Alfonso's marriage to his niece was not recognized by the Pope, and a last invasion at the South ended also in defeat at la Albuera in February, 1479. With the nobility subdued and the Portuguese defeated, Castile had now the upper hand, but Isabel was half Portuguese herself, and Portuguese was her first language. She desired a perpetual peace with Portugal, with long lasting friendship and perhaps a dynastic union in the future, like the one with Aragon, and she was prepared to be generous with the defeated to obtain it. The treaty of Alcacovas, was concluded in September 4, 1479. It had four parts, all of them historically important. In the first part, Isabel and Fernando were recognized as rightful Kings of Castile and Leon, and Alfonso was recognized as rightful King of Portugal. In the second part, Juana renounced to her claim to the crown of Castile and was forced to expend the rest of her life in a convent in Portugal. In the third part, the future marriage between the infant Alfonso, son of Joao and the infant Isabel, daughter of the Catholic Kings was arranged. And in the fourth part, Castile accepted the claim of Portugal over Guinea, and the Atlantic coast of Africa, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde, and any future discoveries South of the Canary Islands toward Guinea. Portugal accepted the claim of Castile over the Canary Islands. The treaty of Alcacovas is very important because it created a long lasting peace between Portugal and Spain, and set the basis for future diplomatic resolution of conflicts, like the discovery of the New World and the treaty of Tordesillas. Some believe it was crucial to the discovery of the New World by Spain, as Africa was reserved for Portugal, leaving only the unknown West for Spain.Actions

Action A of 17355 - Burnt Siena for SienaDescription
In 1549 after increasing turmoil in Siena, the Spanish representative of the city, Don Diego di Mendoza, decided to build a fortress to ensure Spanish control of the territory. This decision was received with horror by the Sienese who begged with Charles V not to proceed. He refused, and several Sienese citizens in Rome received aid from French agents and collected an army. In 1552, as they marched on Siena the people revolted and threw out the Spanish troops, and an independent Siena took up a pro-French policy. Henri II, King of France, tried to exploit the situation by sending there an army led by Paul de Termes, who was successively substituted by Strozzi when an invasion of Corsica was attempted with the help of the Turkish fleet. On Emperor Charles V's decision to inflict an exemplary punishment upon the rebeling city, Cosimo I Duke of Tuscany responded to his call by invading and pillaging the villages surrounding Siena with the help of Spanish/imperial troops. After a year long siege laid by Medeghino and his Florentine troops, the city of Siena was eventually taken. Should we call on Tuscany to help us against Siena?Actions
