Description
Spain: What Everyone Needs to Know provides essential context for understanding Spain's current economic and political predicament. This concise overview covers a wide sweep of Spanish history, from the Muslim conquest in 711 to the nation's deep economic crisis sparked by the collapse of its real estate and construction sectors in 2010. William Chislett recounts the country's fascinating and often turbulent history, explaining key events such as the transition from dictatorship to democracy, the creation of a welfare state, and the impact of European Economic Community membership. The book also addresses various questions about Spain's complex past, including the legacy of the Muslim presence, the causes of the 1936-39 Civil War, and the violent Basque separatist group ETA. By providing much-needed political and historical context, this timely addition to Oxford's acclaimed series helps readers understand Spain's place in the world today.
