Agent V, there is an object I wish to acquire by midnight. However to infiltrate the enemy,
you must understand your enemy. Youre destination: spain. Your’e wristwatch is programmed with
the debriefing. Spain, originally inhabited by Celts, Iberians,
and Basques, became a part of the Roman Empire in 206 B.C. , when it was conquered. Aragon
and Castile were the most important Spanish states from the 12th to the 15th century,
consolidated by the marriage of Ferdinand II and Isabella I in 1469. In 1478, they established
the Inquisition, to root out heresy and uncover Jews and Muslims who had not sincerely converted
to Christianity. Roman Catholicism was established as the official state religion and most Jews
and Muslims were expelled. In the era of exploration, discovery, and colonization, Spain amassed
tremendous wealth and a vast colonial empire through the conquest of Mexico by Cortés
and Peru by Pizarro. The Spanish Hapsburg monarchy became for a time the most powerful
in the world. In 1588, Philip II sent his Armada- a fleet of ships- to invade England,
but its destruction cost Spain its supremacy on the seas. Spain then sank rapidly to the
status of a second-rate power under the rule of weak Hapsburg kings, and it never again
played a major role in European politics. Its colonial empire in the Americas and the
Philippines vanished in wars and revolutions during the 18th and 19th centuries
to know that the Basques form a large minority group in Spain.
You’re probably wondering about the demographics. As shown by this population pyramid, spain
is a developed country, and possesses a large workforce. The largest age range is the 35-39
year range. The numbers of men and women are roughly equal, giving the population pyramid
a relatively symmetrical shape. You’re probably wondering about the demographics.

The majority of spain is roman catholic with 70.9% of the population. this is largely due
to the Spanish Inquisition during when Spain was under the reign of King Fernando and Queen
Isabella. During the Inquisition, practicers of religions other than roman Catholicism
were systematically sought out and imprisoned. As a result, the majority of Spain became
and remains to this day Roman Catholic. However, there is still a small minority of atheists,
as well as Muslims too, living in various ethnic neighborhoods scattered around the
country. Long a largely agricultural country, Spain
is the world’s largest producer of olive oil. Within Europe, it produces the most lemons
, oranges, and strawberries. The major industries within Spain are textiles
and apparel, metals and metal products, ships, and automobiles. However, tourism is Spain’s
greatest source of income. Spain has made great economic progress in recent decades,
but compared to other Western European states, it lags behind. Spain trades the most with
France Germany Italy and great Britain. The biggest language in spain is spanish.
spanish speakers are concentrated all over the mainland. Almost 100% of all people living
in spain know how to speak spanish, and for 89% of the people, it is the native tongue.
However, some also speak Catalan, and a small percentage speaks Euskera.
Spain is located in the Iberian Peninsula, and covers 504782 square kilometers. it is
located south of France and is separated from it by the Pyrenees. Spain is the second largest
country in Europe, losing to France. It’s terrain is composed of flat plains surrounded
by rolling hills. The climate of spain is mild and temperate, although sometimes there
are hot summers and cold winters. Like the United states, spain is located at middle
latitude, at approximately 40 degrees north latitude.
Listen, agent, theres one ethnic conflict you must know about in order to complete this
mission. In 1959, The Basques, people of a small culturally separated region in Spain,
unsuccessfully demanded autonomy from both Spain and France.The movement gained more
and more momentum and soon they were branded as a terrorist organization by Spain and Europe
in general. Do not under any circumstances join them because it resulted with almost
900 people killed and 6,500 wounded. The conference resulted in a five-point statement that included
a plea for ETA to renounce any armed activities and to demand instead negotiations with the
Spanish and French authorities to end the conflict. On October 20 — ETA announced
"definitive cessation of its armed activity Improving growth in export markets, gains
in market share and the stabilisation of private domestic demand will help to foster a weak
recovery in 2014 and 2015.. To improve the economic environment and stimulate growth,
the government must fully implement all its announced reforms. To reduce the extremely
high youth unemployment new activation and training measures to upgrade workforce skills
and facilitate mobility are needed. Spain’s future is economically uncertain, yet capable
of improving if the right steps are followed.
