America was the discovery of an unexpected and prodigious reality, which Spain had to tackle. The original peoples of the new continent also had to face the discovery of a “western culture” (oriental for them) in its Hispanic interpretation. For them it was, equally, an unthinkable and prodigious scenario. Both existences accepted their common challenge with the mindset and the instruments that were available at that time.<br>

He replaces the traditional political line of the Trastámara (Peninsular union and defence of the common interests) by a decisive link with the family interests of the Habsburgs, in their heterogeneous and conflictive Central European domains. In this enterprise were wasted the enormous resources of the Spanish Crown which during the 16<sup>th</sup> century and much of the 17<sup>th</sup>, was the first territorial and economic power in the world. The Habsburgs of the 16<sup>th</sup> century were Charles I and Philip II (1556-98), who in 1580 joined his Crown to Portugal; and those of the 17<sup>th</sup> were Philip III (1598-1621), Philip IV (1621-1665) and Charles II (1665-1700) who in full imperial decline and having died childless, left the crown to the French Bourbons.</p></div>|}}
