The history OF Spain for the past 200
During the sixteenth century that coun-
try had dominated Europe. and had
been almost invariably victorious until
IL sought to include England among the
number OF Its victims. The ambition Of
Philip. fortified by religious zeal. dis
patched what he proudly called the In
sincible Armada against England In
1858. The destruction of that great fleet
by a storm. important though II was,
formed only an incident among the
many misfortunes which thereafter
overlook that country.
Within a comparatively few years
Holland extorted recognition OF Its
independence. which had practically
begun when English mediation brought
about a twelve years truce. Portugal
became once more q separate kingdom.
Years of warfare had squandered the
wealth OF Spain. derived to great ex-
tent from its colonies In South America.
The population Of the peninsula. esti-
mated at 10000 600 under the Arabs,
reign of Charles III. This decrease was
due In part TO the religious higotry
which had condemned 80 many Jews
and Moers-~or Motiscoes. as they were
caliea--to death and exile. but II was
also due "a a general decline In the eco
nomieal prosperity OF the country. II IL

formed the mainssay OF the country
were driven out. The Moriscees were
the sugar growers. the rice growers. the
silk weavers. the cotton spiuners, and
those craftsmen who had made such
woris as the Damascus blade famous all
over the world.

Gold poured in from the New worId
