The Suebi established a kingdom in north-western Iberia, whereas the Vandals established themselves in the south of the peninsula by 420 before crossing over to North Africa in 429. As the western empire disintegrated, the social and economic base became greatly simplified; the successor regimes maintained many of the institutions and laws of the late empire, including Christianity and assimilation into the evolving Roman culture.

In 1793, Spain went to war against the revolutionary new French Republic as a member of the first Coalition. The subsequent War of the Pyrenees polarised the country in a reaction against the gallicised elites and following defeat in the field, peace was made with France in 1795 at the Peace of Basel in which Spain lost control over two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola. In 1807, a secret treaty between Napoleon and the unpopular prime minister led to a new declaration of war against Britain and Portugal.

[6] According to the design contract, the engines were to be capable of a normal maximum of 22,000shp (16,000kW) with a top speed of 19.9 knots (36.9km/h; 22.9mph), and up to 26,000shp (19,000kW) and 20.2 knots (37.4km/h; 23.2mph) at forced draft. All three ships exceeded 20 knots (37km/h; 23mph) in speed trials. [18] Each ship could store up to 1,900t (1,870 long tons) of coal; according to Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, this permitted a cruising radius of 5,000 nautical miles (9,300km; 5,800mi) at a speed of 10 knots (19km/h; 12mph), [6] though the historian Agustín Rodríguez González states the ships had a range of 7,500nmi (13,900km; 8,600mi) at a speed of 10.8 knots (20.0km/h; 12.4mph).

Columbus's first voyage crossed the Atlantic and reached the Caribbean Islands, beginning the European exploration and conquest of the Americas. The Treaty of Granada guaranteed religious tolerance towards Muslims, [38] for a few years before Islam was outlawed in 1502 in Castile and 1527 in Aragon, leading the remaining Muslim population to become nominally Christian Moriscos. About four decades after the War of the Alpujarras (1568–1571), over 300,000 moriscos were expelled, settling primarily in North Africa. [39] Diachronic map of the Spanish Empire
