Spain's Golden Age and Philip II

The concept of the Golden Age of Spain and the Golden Age of Philip II is a controversial issue between modern and contemporary historians. Regarding the date of such age, even its existence is controversial. Assuming that the Golden Age appeared in some way, we deduced if it was more concrete under Philip's control, we do not see the situation in Spain in important areas before and after Phillip joined 1556 There is no doubt. If there is a disagreement, do you need to decide whether they have improved Spain, it means a decrease.

Philip II was born in 1527 and died in 1598. Philip II became king of Spain in January 1556. He dominated Spain to the so-called "Golden Age". However, his rule revealed a devastating decade that includes the Spanish recession, her bankruptcy, and disaster of the Spanish invincible fleet from 1588 to 1598. Philip II thinks he himself is a traditional Spanish - he loves music and art. He has a collection of fantastic masterpieces of Escorial - his palace in the outskirts of Madrid. Philip II is good at reading, I am good at history and politics, but I am not good at language skills. He is enthusiastic about gathering precious books and works of art. He is a very pious person, El Escorial is home to the monasteries of Hieronymus and the church. Although El Escorial is considered a Palace of Philip, his room is very simple and has several furniture. I'd like to see the palace of the wealthiest people in Europe.

Spain's Philip II King, also known as Prudente Phillips, dominated one of the world's largest empires. His reign as King of Spain celebrated the era of great development of golden era, literature, music, visual art culture. After marrying four years with Mary Tudor, he is also King of the United Kingdom. The Philippines is a former Spanish colony named after him.

In 1543, RuyLópezdeVillalobos named Leyte and Samar Las Islas Filipinas after Spanish Philip II. On January 16, 1556, when his father, Charles I of Spain abandoned the throne of Spain, Philip II became king of Spain. Philip was then in Brussels at the time, and his return to Spain was postponed to 1559 due to European politics and Scandinavian war. Immediately after he returned to Spain, Philippe ordered an expedition to the Spice Islands and stated that his aim was "to explore west islands". In fact, its mission is to conquer the Philippines to Spain.

During 42 years Philip II rule, Spain experienced the "Western Region" or "Golden Age" that the historian called Spain. From the affection of Philip II's art and literature, this time it is called the golden age. The architect of Philip II has created a beautiful statue and sculpture throughout Spain and founded School of Science and Mathematics to enrich the knowledge of the Spanish people. All of these were funded by the Spanish Trading Empire (New World) in the United States. This trade empire consists of precious metals, tobacco, cocoa, indigo and sugar, all of which are strongly demanded by other European countries and continues to flow from the American Spanish trade empire.
