This book by Pío Moa reframes the period of Spanish hegemony, between 1475 and 1640, and its impact on the beginning of the European era (1492-1945). Traditionally, this period has been the subject of biased interpretations, either due to excessive attention to the factors that supposedly made it impossible or due to conceptions of patriotic rhetoric and stagnant religiosity. In this context, Spain created an empire of an innovative nature and faced wars imposed by Ottoman, French, Protestant and English expansionism. The book analyzes the transoceanic explorations, the struggle between Catholicism and Protestantism, and the conception of the era as the beginning of the European era, in which the power and culture of Europe, especially Spain, France and England, were the engine of world history for four and a half centuries.
Luis Pío Moa Rodríguez better known as simply Pío Moa, is a Spanish writer and journalist. He has authored historical essays about the origins of the Spanish Civil War, the Second Republic in Spain, Francoism and the various political movements of that era.
