## History

The history of Galiza has been started by the Roman opposer Hermeric, which had been stating a law to free the province of Gallaecia. A war was held in the city of Finis Terrae, and then, in that city, many Galizans had been senting a note to the emperor of Rome, Honorius. Hermeric, being the leader of the nation, had blessed Galiza with a mass at the newly-constructed city of Santiago.

A war with the vandals has been made in the coasts of the country, on which the Galizans won by the army of Hermeric III, in 653.

The Visigothics had tried to invade the kingdom of Galiza. Egica, the queen of the Visigoths, along with an Arabic army provenient from Northern Africa, had been battling against the reign of Hermeric IV. The war ended with 80 dead Visigoths and over 10 thousand dead Galizans. However, the territory remained invict, despite it's countless deaths.

The Hermerician Kingdom of Galiza had been ended in 998, when a royal politician called Revico had been asking a group of opposing Galizans to vote on an illegal referendum on how the Hermerician dynasty should be taken down. The referendum was won by the opposers, and then, after a successful revolt in the city of Vigo, the Empire of Galiza has been founded.

It's first king, Garción I, had been coronated in the chapel of Saint James, in the city of Santiago de Galicia.

In the late 1790's, the king of the Crown of Castille established an order to unificate all the countries who inhabitated in the Iberian peninsula. The Galizan people, with the Escuadra Reial, which was the royal army of the nation, had been denying a treaty that would be held in the city of Vigo, and thus, a war had been started in the 1800's. Galiza had been establishing the help of France's leader, Napoleon, to lead them in the battle. After the Galizan people won, the rebel Vicaño do Lugo had been honored king of the Galizans, in 1803, after a mass honoring the patron of the country, Saint James.

The government of the king Miñano II on the 1870's had been one of the most well-stabled governments in the nation. The king ordered an instance to build schools and universities in remote areas, so the people would teach and learn more fluently, and also to rebuild the Palacio Reial with 20 more floors. The king then had the introduction of political parties, and banned the socialist ideology in the nation.

Spain had a final war with Galiza in 1914. Galiza's army, which had been more numerous than Spain's, had been battling in the valleys of the city of Arosa and the forests of the city of Ribadeo. The final war was set in the city of Santiago de Galicia, on which they had been destroying half the city, and with the help of Britain, Spain had been victorious, whilst capturing the last king of Galiza, Elancio I. The Treaty of Castrofeito, a city located in the eastern part of Santiago, has been signed by Elancio's family and the King of Spain, ending Galiza's legacy.
