Why did Spain, and not another country, conquer most of America? Why have so many Spanish regions pushed for independence in contemporary Spain, like Catalonia or the Basque Country? Why are Spain and Portugal not united? In Spain, what is the legacy of Muslims, who ruled the region for 800 years?
Tomas, I've been subscriber since Uncharted Territories Issue #1. This piece is exceptionally well written! A little long, but elegantly covers 2 millenia of geographical influence, accidents, with a line of optimism in the future. I absolutely love that direct flight from Madrid to Medellin CO, totally beats flying through the USA, and exemplifies exactly Spain's place in the world. What a great TLDR of the history of Spain!
Have you ever thought about writing a geographic influenced history book? A global narrative of this lens in textbook form? I'd totally homeschool my future children with that. :)
Like to get your discussion on how climate change with its geographic alterations change in resource availability and differing resource requirements for development will impact each continent and its peoples
As always a very well documented article that took me back several decades to my history lessons. But in the way YOU present it i, it s much easier to ingest and understand.
