    Charles V abdiquates because governing a territory THAT vast at the time was a fucking nightmare (and becauses a LOT of other reasons), basically he was the emperor of the holy roman empire which is already a big boi, plus also the king of spain which means also controlling the spanish colonies, like half of south america, hall of the netherlands and half of italy and also he was duc of burgundy
    so he was almost always on the roads because he had to be at least anywhere at anytime he was like "the errand emperor"

    The names Kingdom of Asturias and Kingdom of Leon are anachronical, same as the Visigothic Kingdom
    The kingdom the Visigoths ruled over was called Spania. The Duke of Cantabria was the son of king Erwig, and the kingdom Alfonso I established called itself Spain, since they considered themselves the legal continuation the Kingdom of Spain.
    So when the capital moved from Oviedo to Leon, the kingdom didnt change its name. It was still called Spain and their monarchs called themselves Imperatus Spaniae (Emperors of Spain)

    España sí conquistó Portugal!
    Fue durante el reinado de Felipe II (que dio nombre a las Islas Filipinas)
    El Reino de Portugal quedó sin heredero y Felipe II, como nieto del antiguo rey reclamó su derecho al trono en 1580.
    La nobleza portuguesa se opuso y nombró a otro nieto del antiguo rey, Antonio Prior de Crato.
    España invadió Portugal por tierra hasta que conquistó Lisboa y después Oporto. Las tropas españolas fueron comandada por el Duque de Alba.
    Antonio y sus seguidores huyeron a las Islas Terceras (hoy Islas Azores) y allí se hicieron fuertes apoyados por la muy importante flota portuguesa y por la francesa (Francia intervino porque no quería que España se hiciese demasiado fuerte)
    A pesar de este apoyo, España decidió invadir las Azores. Esta fue una conquista increíble, pues la flota combinada franco-portuguesa superaba por mucho a la española. Esta fue la primera batalla Naval oceánica (hasta la fecha, las batallas navales habían sido en mares cerrados junto a la costa (como el mar Mediterráneo) donde los barcos maniobraban principalmente con remeros, en tanto que en las Azores, en medio del océano Atlántico, se maniobraba a vela.
    Aunque en menor número, los galeones españoles resultaron estar mejor diseñados y las técnicas navales españolas fueron superiores, gobernadas por D. Álvaro de Bazán, que aniquiló a las otras dos flotas.
    En esta batalla además apareció un nuevo cuerpo de combate, creado por España por primera vez en la historia y que perdura en los ejércitos modernos, la infantería de marina (marines en el ejército de EE.UU actual).
    Hasta la fecha los ejércitos embarcados eran soldados de tierra subidos a un barco... España diseña un cuerpo de soldados-marinos, que sabían perfectamente manejarse por las cubiertas y palos de las naves, embarcar y desembarcar rápidamente a tierra con botes, abordar barcos en movimiento y luchar en espacios reducidos. Además estaban acostumbrados a navegar y no se mareaban ni tenían miedo a la mar. Esto les dio una ventaja absoluta.
    Ambos imperios se mantuvieron unidos desde 1580 a 1640 y, en esa época, el sol siempre lucia en alguna de las posesiones del imperio español, presente en Europa, norte América y Sudamerica, Africa, Asia y Oceanía, manteniendo la hegemonía mundial prácticamente sin oposición durante casi 100 años gracias al poder de los galeones.
    Video rápido sobre esto: ua-cam.com/video/Lzu9iCBIfZw/v-deo.htmlsi=i1ADrKQMJPZORees
    Recomiendo el libro "Las reglas del viento" de Carlos Canales y Miguel del Rey. Es un libro muy muy interesante para los amantes de la historia, con ilustraciones de buques antiguos muy buenas. Siento que no exista versión en inglés)

    Spanish empire was predominant in Europe in the 16th century, being a mighty and powerful maritime power. They used their maritime skills to go to South America and colonise most of it. Culminated in the Armada, being the attempt to invade Britain in 1588. Its quite ok to learn visually from pictures... your brain learns quicker and easier this way for you. You will find lots of Hapsburgs in the Spanish royal chart.

    In addition, Teresa and Urraca married 2 brothers from the house of Burgundy. And it was Teresa's husband who decided to declare himself king of Portugal, which at that time was only a County of the Kingdom of Leon.

    Hi Conner, I'm sorry for the long comment, it's just that when the expulsion of the Sephardic Jews from Spain was mentioned, you wondered why it seems that religions tend to switch between being tolerant and non-tolerant. I study the history of the Middle East at uni, and one thing that seems like a common thread is this: When a state with a state religion is doing well externally/geographically but struggles with internal cohesion, it tends to turn hospitable to people of different religions, whereas when it does poorly externally, it turns inhospitable to people of different religions.
    This is why, when Spain consolidated, it was hostile towards other religions than Christianity; because those separate kingdoms had literally been on the backfoot for 7 centuries and needed something in common to make sure their people would mesh properly. In this case, it was Christianity. Kind of similar to how antisemitism became a way for the nazi's to unite Germany after the defeat in WWI. In other words, the state needs to be doing well and have done well for a good while.
    I think a more clear example is when Islam starts expanding from the Arabian peninsula: it's initially pretty hostile to other religions, then it settles down as a regionally dominant power and becomes generally extremely hospitable in many instances: Like The Córdoba caliphate in Spain and The Ottoman Empire until things started to really fast downhill at the very end. Then, when European colonialism eventually forces a lot of the Muslim countries on the back foot, the reactionary and fundamentalist factions of Islam that we still find to this day began to form. (They really started to take shape in the 1800's when France and the UK began to fight over Egypt.)
    It's important to remember that most Muslims today are not a part of those reactionary and fundamentalist factions and are pretty comparable to Christians in terms of how conservative or liberal they might be. For example, it depends a lot on which country they are from, if they live in a city or in the countryside, etc.
    If you want to learn more about the Ottoman Empire and how it treated people who weren't Muslims, I highly recommend watching Kraut's "The Turkish Century | From Hittites to Atatürk". You can see how the level of tolerance fluctuates with the success of the empire. It's a bit long, so I recommend taking breaks.
    I also have some recommended books, both about the Ottoman Empire and about the comparison of Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism), if you are interested.
