Spain in our neighbor,with recognized frontiers since Fernando and Isabel, la Catolica, that began to unified the Peninsula am culminate with the expulsion of de last leader of the Syrian realm of Cordova in XV Century, The History is similar and almost parallel. They begin both in the Reconquista and his own justification was the religious war. After de war that established frontiers till de Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic both countries ser for discovery of new lands, colonization of far east territories, maintaining a great political power in the Crown. The navigations put some problems of frontiers in Far east am America. Both counties applied for the Pope and a Treaty signed under the influence of Papacy divides unknown world between them in Tordesilhas. Portugal applies his effort in Hindustan and Spain above all in South and Central America. The decadence of the economies of peninsular states open the sea to newcomers that quickly altered the situation in their favor. Both countries have no answer to this problem. Te war led by Spain was concludes in the Armada That was destroyed by Elisabeth I. The transitions to Modernity were similar. Portugal new a civil war that left implanted a convulsive liberalism that finished under de power of a coup to implant the I Republic in 1910; Spain has known several military coups and the real implantation of the Republic was contested by a military caste that in the battlefields fight anarchists and communists with a clear victory. The dictatorship came to the years 70, When Franco was substituted by the indicate king. The new king imposed democracy. It is was difficult by the first government of Alianza Popular , a conservative party was a success in an arrangements of transition Adolfo Suarez was made Duke of Soria . In Portugal dictatorship was arrived by a military coup against two scandalous republics, and The finance minister, Salazar, was able to control the country. He paid the creditors and was able to let a heavy heritage of gold and diamonds. Now the two peninsular countries are face a line of problems that require a new answer. But both of them only speak of austerity, reduction of salaries, and a renew of taxes,, when the economies are in decay and the societies can’t pay more and can’t support more unemployed. The Peninsula is, as other geographic locals, with a need of strong cooperation to create a new approach to the problem of decadence that is again sleeping in their doors
