In New History of Spain, you will learn about Spanish history in chronological order, covering every era from Prehistory to the present day. This includes the Visigothic Kingdom, al-Andalus, the medieval Christian kingdoms, the Spanish Empire, the Spanish Civil War, or Franco's dictatorship. Every two weeks, I delve into Spain's political history, enriched with diverse historical perspectives, to bring you a vivid and comprehensive understanding.
Learn history critically with the latest research, free from antiscientific and nationalist biases. Prepare to be surprised and challenged as we go beyond dates, kings, and battles to truly understand the forces that shaped Spain's history.
