🔥El Mayor Enemigo de España NO Fue el que Crees: ¿Francia o Inglaterra? El FIN del Debate

🇫🇷France or ENGLAND?🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 I'm answering the QUESTION we often get wrong! A historical analysis from the Middle Ages to the 21st century, including the 16th century, which we always cover in "Hidden Trenches." Did you know that Charles V and Philip II weren't that afraid of the English? A lesson by the writer Javier Rubio. ⚔️The book is now AVAILABLE on Amazon 👉🏻 https://amzn.to/40XhMIY 📚My book "The Footprint of Spain in Flanders" is now ON SALE 👉🏻 https://www.casadellibro.com/libro-la... 🔥"The Catholic Monarchs forged alliances with England.

Did you know that Flanders was only one of the Seventeen provinces? That the Duke of Alba didn't want to come to these lands and considered his stay a “trap of exile” orchestrated by his enemies at the court of Madrid? That the causes of the Eighty Years' War go beyond a religious civil conflict between Catholics and Protestants? 👏🏻 Javier Rubio Monte is the director of Hidden Trenches. He currently lives in Brussels researching the reigns of Charles V and Philip II. He writes articles about the 16th century for the "History" section of VozPópuli. 🔗 "Hidden Trenches" Twitter: https://x.com/JavierRubioTO 🔥The HISTORY of the Spanish Strait of Hormuz! Spain's Footprint in the Persian Gulf - Iran - 📗 My book "Spain's Footprint in Flanders" 👉🏻 https://amzn.to/40XhMIY The Spanish Footprint in Flanders invites us to rediscover one of the most forgotten—yet most decisive—epics in the history of Spain and Europe: the presence of the Spanish Monarchy in the former Low Countries. Javier Rubio reconstructs, with documentary rigor and narrative skill, the political, cultural, religious, and military role played by the Spanish in lands where much of the destiny of modern Europe was forged. IN THE FLANDERS, SPAIN DID NOT ONLY FIGHT: IT LEFT A PROFOUND MARK OF FAITH, ART, AND CIVILIZATION. Through previously unpublished letters, diplomatic accounts, and chronicles of the period, the author rescues the human dimension of historical figures such as Philip II, the Duke of Alba, and William of Orange, freeing them from the prejudices inherited from centuries of propaganda and the Black Legend. The work illuminates the complex web of interests that linked—and pitted against each other—Brussels, Madrid, Rome, and Vienna, as well as the political and cultural work carried out by Spain in a territory that still bears that imprint in its architecture, art, language, and historical memory. 🕛 VIDEO TIMELINE 🕛 00:00-00:25 What will you see in this video? 00:25-00:52 Buy the book now!
