History of Spain Spanish Language & Liberal Arts Program Spring 2017 Semester - Early Start - Granada

In this subject our aim is to offer a general view of the History of Spain. We would study the most important political, economical, social and cultural aspects of Spanish History. We would start analysing Prehistory and Ancient History in the Iberian Peninsula. We would continue with the fallen of the Roman Empire, the Visigoth Kingdom, Al-Andalus, the ?Reconquista?, the Catholic Kings and the Habsburg dynasty, the crisis of Spanish empire and the Bourbon Reformism. We would learn as well about late Spanish modern history: we would study the Ancient Regime Crisis, the Liberal Revolution, the Restoration, the Primo de Rivera Dictatorship, the II Republic, the Civil War, Francoism and, of course, the Transition to Democracy.
