Price: $19.95 Shipping: $3.75
NEW IN PAPERBACK. From the early 16th century to the early 19th century Spain was the most exalted, feared, despised, and discussed nation since the Roman Empire, without a doubt regarded as a unique social and political community.

Price: $21.95 Shipping: $3.75
The Spanish Empire was the first of the great seaborne empires of Western Europe, for long the richest and most formidable force in the world. It was the focus of envy, fear and hatred. Its beginnings date from 1492 and it ended more than 300 years later in the early 19th century in civil wars between rival generals and “Liberators.” Parry’s classic study relates the impact of Spain in the Americas, presents a broad picture of the conquests of Cortes and Pizarro and of the economic and social consequences in Spain of maintaining this vast empire. He also probes the complex administrative structure, the influence of the Church, the destruction of the Indian cultures and their effect on Spanish policy.
