Spain & North America: new perspectives on a shared past

Paradoxically, the Spanish monarchy achieved its greatest triumphs, its most spectacular expansion, and its widest territorial limits in a time of increasing competition with more powerful and better equipped empires. The lecturer explores the problem, suggests some explanations, and reflects on the consequences present in the United States.
