Pro-Habsburg Spain

Pro-Habsburg Spain appears on the map from 1702 to 1708. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1706, it covered about 107,624 km².

One of the realms of Spanish Empire. Spain's empire grew from the union of Castile and Aragon under Isabella and Ferdinand, who in 1492 conquered Granada and sponsored Columbus's first voyage. Within two generations conquistadors toppled the Aztec and Inca empires, and silver from Potosí and Zacatecas paid for Habsburg wars across Europe, where Charles V and Philip II also ruled the Netherlands, much of Italy and, from 1580 to 1640, Portugal.
