Abstract: Abstract The chapter examines Spain's imperial history, focusing on the loss of its empire, particularly the impact of the Spanish-American War in 1898. It highlights the significance of the Battle of Santiago de Cuba and the broader consequences of Spain's defeat, including the loss of colonies like Cuba and the Philippines. The chapter also discusses the historical context of the Spanish Empire, its cultural and economic influence, and the internal political dynamics that led to its decline, including the role of the Catholic Kings and the House of Habsburg.
