| In the XVI century, Spain became the first world power. Carlos I received the biggest legacy ever: Spain (Castile, Navarra and Aragon), Spanish lands in America, Netherlands, Belgium, the French County, southern Italy, Austria and the rights to the Holy Roman Empire. But Spain, the basis of his power, had his own problems: two rebel movements came up and expanded through Castile and Aragon, making the throne tremble: the Communities in Castile, the Brotherhoods in Aragon. | ||
