The Decline of the Kingdom of Spain

We're going to do a time line of spain, roughly seventeenth century spain in decline. Most people date the decline of spain - whether accurately or not - to 15 88 and the spanish armada. Philip the second dies in a 15 98; philip the third ruled from 15 98 to 16 21. And then charles the second takes over and rules until the end of the century. By the end of this century, spain is in such bad shape that the rest of europe,. dominated by france, is circling around in to pounce on it.
