Why did the Spanish empire fall?
>>
>>224742712
spaniards fell asleep
>>
>>224742712
Napoleonic invasion allowed rebel landlords to break apart entire provinces as independent states.
>>
Long distances, inflation, complacency, too many open fronts.

>>224742712
Anglo-Masonic conspiracies

>>224742712
they were the monkeys of Europe, that's why Germany or Italy should have discovered america
>>
>>224742712
the americans experienced a taste of self rule after 100 years of being on the cuck chair so they revolted and the spaniards lost it all
>>
>>224742712
We should have let the civilizational stuff to monks instead of friars. Benedictines, Cistercians, Capuchins, etc., showed to be a better civilizational backbone than Jesuits, Dominicans, Franciscans, etc.

Ora et Labora is a better cultural leitmotiv than contemplata aliis tradere.

The real reason is one sterile king, that's all it takes
>>
>>224742712
Their caste system created backstabbers and potential rebels plus Napoleon invading Spain shook the empire

Because it sucked dick and they made the number 1. biggest mistake: never bet against the British.
>>
>>224742712
Literal political incompetence
I honestly think we had the blueprint for an actual long lasting empire, but the other colonial powers just couldn't let it happen and it all fell apart
>>
>>224742772
Today is Mexican Independence Day, but those idiot Mexicans don't realize that around this same time, Spain was undergoing a brief revolution; in other words, Mexicans are pathetic, they only managed to gain independence when Spain was at its weakest.

And 30 years after Mexico's independence, Mexico lost the war against the USA and lost the entire northern part of the country. A shitty country full of losers.
>>
>>224742712
If anything, it lasted a lot longer than anticipated. Spain was already on its deathbed around 1650-1700 and was virtually kept preserved by England and other continental powers cause they didn't want it to be swallowed up by France. It was weakened enough by mid-late 17th century that the empire probably could have been split up by other colonial powers but hadn't to keep a balance of power. If it wasn't for England's and Austria's intervention, the whole empire would have ended up under France.

Hm, yeah because the Napoleonic invasion of Spain went exceedingly well and it surelly didnt spell the doom for the french empire
>>
>>224747040
That was different. The Bourbon succession proceeded pretty smoothly without strong (if any) local opposition outside of Aragon. A outside intervention and continental war was required to prevent France and Spain from merging.
One would think the locals would have been fiercely against that succession since they were partly responsible for screwing over Spain during the TYW but apparently not.

There are historic quotes of european travelers to America where they said that the Spanish America was the highest form of civilization that ever existed. Total stability, harmony, and progress during 350 years. For example Von Hunboldt or Darwin.

We are not responsable of what America did after they got independized.


And the real top extension of the Spanish Empire when we also ruled Portugal and their empire.


>>224747829
At least we had a real empire for 400 years, a global one....what about you?

Napoleon, liberalism, the economy

All apparent of late empires. The real reasons will be lost to time despite how much the retarded Spanish love to write about absolutely fucking everything

Some Italian manlet managed to take over France and launched a massive chimp out over Spain and the rest of Europe

>>224742712
It didn't fell, it was dismantled.

>>224742712
They dug their BWC's too deep, and too lustily. Also they murdered their currency through inflation from the sheer amount of gold they took back

Just imagine how alienated you have to be to embrace the arguments and lies of those who have truly plundered your homeland.
