The Spanish Monarchy was at the time the largest and richest empire in the world. It established the first true global economy across four continents and added to the map around 60% of the world, including the oceans. From the 16th century*, it maintained continuous diplomatic relations* with China based on mutual respect and trade. The route from America to Asia and back was traversed every year by the Manila Galleon (1565–1815). The names of the Chinese yuan and Japanese yen derive directly from the Spanish silver coin, the real de a ocho. Also, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, potatoes, chili peppers, tomatoes*, and pumpkins* were all introduced by the Spanish (even though many of the people who went to the Philippines were Tlaxcaltecas, indigenous people from Mexico who helped the Spanish destroy the Mexicas, who were eating them alive).And unlike many other imperial powers like the British, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Ottoman, Japanese, or even the Roman Empire itself, the Spanish treated everyone like equal subjects.

>Builds global spanning empire.>Does nothing but tax farm, build palaces, imperial armies, & churches.The Spanish Empire is certainly unique among European colonies for being spiritually...muslim. Like a white version of the Mughal Empire.

>>18754187>>18754194And here comes the pathetic mob of anti-Spanish losers, storming in—hahahahahahaha. Get a life!
>maybe if i spam /his/ enough they'll finally accept my historical revisionism
>>18754243Well, It worked out damn well for Spain’s enemies. The Sephardic diaspora in the Netherlands and England did a very effective job of helping to spread the "Black Legend"—which persists to this day and also fuels anti-Spanish sentiment within Spain itself, among separatists, leftists, liberals, and so on.
>>18754260>drunken bongs will stop abusing the restaurant staff if i spam /his/ enough o algo
>>18754157>the Spanish treated everyone like equal subjectsActually got a hearty chuckle from this. I sincerely thank you, OP.

>>18754301>>when you make racist remarks about moroccansSaying we are not like them is not racism, just the truth... The day they stop trying to invade my country and respect our borders, I will respect them.

>>18754157If I murdered someone in Spanish Louisiana which organ of Spanish state would hold jurisdiction over this crime and what means did they have to bring me to justice?
>>18754319I'm convinced that this shit is spread by British "intelligence"
>>18754765¡Camarero, camarero, una paella por favor!
>>18754794I'm not even Spanish dawg.
>>18754260>The Sephardic diaspora in the Netherlands and England did a very effective job of helping to spread the "Black Legend"Yes, ((( they ))) did.
>MI5 agents called me a moorberian again o algo
>>18755138Yeah, you're literally working for sephardim.
>>18754157They turned SEVERAL CONTINENTS to biomass wastelands. Arguably the worst disaster to hit humanity.
>>18754241I actually quite like Spain but the empire was a huge mistake. Spain was way cooler during the Reconquista and after the Spanish American war.
>>18754260>>18754271>>18754765The British Empire was arguably an even larger disaster. I mean look at the biological status of Britons today.
They should have never allowed the Portuguese to cuck them out of Brazil. Bribe the pope, move the meridian, do whatever you have to
>>18754160Economics existed in the 1600s and we're not all speaking Dutch. Guess they were just too incompetent
>>18754319Vitamin D is good for you, chud
