Spain



Spain, officially the Kingdom of Spain,  was a nation located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, Earth. Its mainland was bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with Gibraltar; to the north and northeast by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the west and northwest by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean. Along with France and Morocco, it was one of only three countries to have both Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines. Spain's 1,214 km border with Portugal was the longest uninterrupted border within the European Union.

With an area of 505,992 sq km, Spain was the second largest country in Western Europe and the European Union, and the fifth largest country in Europe.

Pre Ascent Spain
Modern humans first arrived in the Iberian Peninsula around 35,000 years ago. It came under Roman rule around 200 BCE, after which the region was named Hispania. In the Middle Ages, the area was conquered by Germanic tribes and later by the Moors to the south. Spain emerged as a unified country in the 15th century, following the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs and the completion of the centuries-long reconquest of the peninsula from the Moors in 1492. In the early 16th century, Spain became one of history's first global colonial empires, leaving a vast cultural and linguistic legacy that included over 500 million Spanish speakers, making Spanish the world's second most spoken first language at the time.
