Spanish History

Paper Summary:

This paper explains the differences that exist among the different cultures and regions in Spain and looks at how each culture views itself in terms of its leanings toward assimilation in or separation from Spanish society. The paper looks at the dominant minority groups and how cohesive they are within Spanish society and points out that the economic and political strength of Spain relies on the continued cohesion of all of its cultural groups.

From the Paper:

"The independence of any one culture could divide the Spanish nation into fractions that cannot retain the economic and or political strength of the whole. The cultural linguistic divide is relatively small as the majority of the Spanish population communicates within the official language, known as Castilian Spanish (74%) with the largest minority speaking Catalan (17%) and the remaining two significant language groups being Galician (7%) and Basque (2%)."
