== History ==

=== Castille-Aragon Unification ===

During this first period, the nation of Spain was to be founded by GranCapitan in the town of Trujillo in the Castillian region of Spain. Conflict struck however, between GranCapitan and another player, EphixaTR (formerly Madrid), who also had intentions on being the creator and owner of Spain. Eventually, these players agreed to co-rule Spain together, as a royal monarchy duo. EphixaTR was, at this time, the owner of the nation of Spain.

During the month of June 2022, Indochina and its citizens began to massively attack citizens around the world, especially Spanish citizens. In response to these attacks, the former king of Spain, EphixaTR, gave an ultimatum to Indochina. They ignored the warning and continued attacking several Spanish cities as a group. So EphixaTR finally declared war on Indochina and all its allies. After Britain's purchase of Spain and other minor events at the local level, Indochina is declared the official winner of the war.

EphixaTR and GranCapitan had unchecked power in Spain at this time. Being short on gold due to their on-going conflict with the nation of Indochina and Gibraltar. This last one, a large southern Spanish town, the pair decided to become a British Territory to raise gold. This was met with the despair of many Spanish citizens. They had not checked with their peers before selling off to Spain, rather they cruelly announced to the Spanish Public that Spain was now going to be an "independent protectorate of Britain."

Many small skirmishes took place between these time periods, with lots of conflict and spotlight of this conflict in the public eye and media. Despite this, no large, notable battles truly took place during this time largely due to the inactivity and discoordination of Spain and Britain. Lots of negotiation attempts took place between Iberia and Britain for independence, but each time, these talks flamed out in insults and anger. Lots of claimblocking took place (e.g. Alcaraz of Britain), and overall this time involved a lot of financial and claim battles along with diplomacy towards other town owners.

Throughout this 3 day period, the final remaining strongholds (e.g. Burgos, Salamanca, etc.) of British Spain eventually come to join Iberia. On August 8th, 2022, Iberia declares victory over the civil war and independence as well as the legitimate Spain. Iberia additionally reaches nation list page one. The Iberian council offers a plea deal to Britain:

Iberia demonstrated a clear show of power in their decisive, rapid victory over the British in the civil war. As a result, they name the 8th of each month as their independence day, which is also the day that their elections take place each month. The British go on to decline their plea deal and hold on onto the nation of Spain and their remaining claimblock towns to spite the new Iberian victors. This would engage the Iberians in a many month long journey to take their rightful name of Spain and to acquire the few remaining claimblock towns, most notably, Alcaraz. After the war, tensions began to rise between Iberia and Al_Andalus with the both of them butting heads at every which turn.

Sadly, after winning the war, due to school and college apps, the council of Spain goes largely inactive for a large period of time, causing the remaining active members of Iberia to join Al_Andalus. In light of this, Al_Andalus is renamed to Spanish Kingdom. During this time, the Al_Andalusian king, xDoly15, is banned, prompting civil strife within Spanish_Kingdom, Spanish_Kingdom holds an election for who will lead and own the nation after the banning of xDoly15, and a player, Ushkaa, wins the election and is the new King of Spanish Kingdom.
