Brief Political History of Catalonia

This video explores the history of Catalonia and looks to see how it ended up as part of Spain while maintaining a strong sense of distinctiveness. It begins with the first people, traces its path as a Roman colony, its high point as a medieval kingdom and its union with Castille. It continues with the development of Catalan nationalism, its difficult years during the Franco regime, and why in recent times its government and population have sought independence from Spain at different points despite its increasing prosperity.

    make what? condemning yourself to misery and poverty just because a fascist and racist theologist from the 19th century said castilian and aragonese blood is not pure but catalan is? don't make me laugh

    ​@@josepcivil8090Catalunya una Colonia?!?!?! Pero si Barcelona fue uno de los grandes puertos en los que se recibían materias procedentes de América. Además el proteccionismo que España aplicó a la industria catalana nos permitió ser la gran región que somos ahora. Decir que somos colonia es una puta gilipollez, más correcto es decir que España es una colonia nuestra 😂😂😂😂 el mismo sentido

    Catalan counties were 5 times the kingdom of Aragon and the house of Aragon was the house of Barcelona until the new disnasty of Trastamara. ignorants should remember that.
