With a left-leaning Republican government aligned with anarchists and communists on one side, and Conservative, Royalist, Nationalist, Catholic interests on the other side, things were bound to get ugly. A British-led policy of international non-intervention allowed General Franco (supported by N**i Germany and Fascist Italy) to emerge victorious in 1939, plunging Spain into authoritarian dictatorship until 1975.

On any Spain itinerary, you’ll be hitting up some beaches. It’s not just the Iberian Peninsula where you’ll find Spanish territory. There are the famous Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean sea – including the very famous party island of Ibiza, of course – and then way out in the Atlantic Ocean, there are the Canary Islands.

From the late 15th century to the early 19th century, Spain may have controlled a lot of overseas territories, but it had its fingers in a lot of pies.

And, for a while, the most powerful country in the world. Taking it a notch above the Portuguese trading empire, the Spanish pioneered their way across North, Central, and South America and took hold of the Philippines for over 300 years. They got themselves a lot of gold and left a big ol’ cultural legacy – and a whole lot of Spanish-speakers.

We begin with one of the most fun geography-based facts about Spain; it has a land border, not sea, with an African country. That country is Morocco. How could this be?
