Spanish History-
When was Spain established? Spain is not immediately formed, but formed through a series of basic processes and events over centuries. Today, Spain occupies most of the Iberian Peninsula in the southwestern corner of Europe. Modern Spain shares borders with France and Portugal. Historically, Spain has been dominated by Catholics, but Muslims had occupied for some time in the past. Today, Spain hosts several different cultural groups, including Basque and Catalan. The first thing that began to create Spain was the Christian conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, which has been named the Reconquista (re-conquest). In the early seven hundreds, a large part of Iberia belonged to the rule of the Umayyad Islam. The Reconquista campaign was used to evict Muslim invaders led by several small Christian

Other cities are the internal city's such as the capital Madrid and Selvilla. Spain is also home to 3 main languages other than spanish, which are Catalan, Galician, and Basque. Spanish is spoken by 74 percent of the population as their first language and is the national language, which makes sense as it is the most prevalent by far. The main riff is between spanish speakers and catalan speakers, as there is diversity in state whether the land that Catalan speakers dominantly occupy should be allowed to have independence from Spain. Spain is dominantly Catholic because of its catholic background. After Catholic practices the population is mainly atheist or non believers. As said before tho, there had been a muslim past before the reconquest of the Iberian peninsula. Lastly about 7.8 to every thousand people in living in spain immigrated there. There is also the problem of people illegally immigrating from morocco into spain, and bringing drugs to europe with them, such as cocaine and hadash.
