Due to the union of Ferdinand II (of Aragon) and Isabella I, Spain was once again united in 1479 (of Castile). In 1492, Spain took back the last Muslim kingdom, Granada, and started to spread its power into the Americas.

After becoming a republic in 1931, the country was devastated by a civil war from 1936 to 1939, which was won by the Nationalists commanded by Gen. Francisco Franco, who reigned as a dictator until his death in 1975. Juan Carlos I, his successor, became king and brought back the monarchy. In 1978, a new constitution set up a constitutional monarchy.
