Illustration
A map illustrating one of the most significant processes of the early modern period - the rise and decline of Spain between the late fifteenth and the late seventeenth centuries. From a patchwork of kingdoms in the north of the Iberian peninsula, the Habsburg Spain grew into a global imperial superpower ruling, at its height, not only large territories in Europe but also vast portions of the Americas, Africa, and numerous islands in the Pacific and Oceania.
