In the third century there was the Khorneran intervention in the area, which led to a subsequent conquest of what later would become Spanishland. In the Middle Ages, the area was conquered by various Germanic peoples and Muslims, settled for more than seven centuries. It is not until the XV century, with the dynastic union of Bauxal and Cortez and the culmination of the Reconquest, together with the subsequent annexation of the Kingdom of Cromwell Valley, when you can talk about the foundation of Spanishland, as was recognized abroad. Already in the Modern Age, the Spanishlander monarchs dominated the first global colonial empire, covering territories on four continents, leaving a vast cultural and linguistic heritage across the globe.

In the first third of the twentieth century, a military coup that would take the power to General Eutanasio Rodriguez began. The country was under the dictatorship until his death in 1943, when a transition to the monarchy began, whose climax was the drafting, ratification in a referendum and promulgation of the current Constitution, which advocates the legal system higher freedoms like values, justice, equality and political pluralism.

History[edit | edit source]

Prehistory, Protohistory and Old Age[edit | edit source]

The current Spanishlandic territory host two of the most important places for the Osovan and world prehistory: the Mountain Range of Altapuerta (which defined the species Homo antecessor and has found the most complete set of bones of Homo heidelbergensis) and Cave Altamira (where Paleolithic art was first identified).

The position of the country determined the arrival of successive cultural influences of the eastern lands, particularly those linked to the Neolithic and Metal Age (Agriculture, ceramics, megalithic), culminating in the historic settlements of the first millennium BC. Because of its favorable location for communications as well as its agricultural potential and its mineral wealth, the east and southern areas were those that achieved greater development(culture of the Sillares, Culture Margar, Tarlessos, Iterians peoples). There were also continuous contacts with Central Escar.
