Title: Where is Spain?
Review: Spain was, during the Middle Ages, a place where Muslims, Jews and Christians coexisted. While in England, Jews were expelled in 1290, Spain gave them the possibility of conversion in 1478. Spain gave economic support to Christopher Columbus to discover and christianize new lands in 1492. Juan de la Cosa traced the first world map including the new territories of America in 1500. However, Martin Waldseemuller made another one in 1507 naming these territories America after Americo Vespucio. Why Vespucio and not De la Cosa? Spanish professionals have been frequently ignored throughout history. Spaniards kept an Empire that dominated all of the American continent from the south of the US to the Southern Cone and a large part of Europe. Spain had a golden age of art giving artists such as Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, Miguel de Cervantes, Velázquez or Murillo. However, that is not enough to include at least one chapter on Spain. Thank you BBC for sponsoring the Black Legend.
