About this audiobook

What was it that set the Spanish Empire on the path to such illustrious glory? Was it the Spaniards’ fiery passion, unwavering ambition, or simply the sheer fortune of timing? To find out, keep reading...

The Spanish Empire stands as one of the most magnificent empires in the history of the world. It unfurled its might across multiple continents, conquered all who stood in its way, and left an indelible impact on cultures around the globe. For over four centuries, its dominance remained unchallenged, casting a vast shadow across Europe and beyond.

But how did Spain, a modest nation nestled in the Iberian Peninsula, ascend to such meteoric heights? What fueled their insatiable hunger for expansion? And what catalyzed their eventual descent into decline?
