now i would tell you The history of Spain
is the story of the many different peoples who have lived in the Iberian Peninsula, especially in what today is Spain. It spans from prehistoric Iberia. the Middle Ages, through the rise and decline of a global empire, to the recent history of Spain as a member of theEuropean Union.
Modern humans entered the Iberian Peninsula about 32,000 years ago. Different populations and cultures followed over the millennia, including the Iberians, the Tartessians, Celts and Celtiberians,Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Suebi and Visigoths
.In 711, the Moors, a Berber and Arab army, invaded and conquered nearly the entire peninsula. During the next 750 years, independent Muslim states were established, and the entire area of Muslim control became known as Al-Andalus. Meanwhile the Christian kingdoms in the north began the long and slow recovery of the peninsula, a process called the Reconquista, which was concluded in 1492 with the fall of Granada.

Following a period of growing political instability in the early 20th century, in 1936 Spain was plunged into a bloody civil war. The war ended in a nationalist dictatorship, led by Francisco Franco,
which controlled the Spanish government until 1975. Spain was
officially neutral during World War II (1939-1945), although many
Spanish volunteers fought on both sides. The post-war decades were
relatively stable (with the notable exception of an armed independence movement in the Basque Country), and the country experienced rapid economic growth in the 1960s and early 1970s.
