During the reign of Charles V and Philip II, Spain reached its peak of power with the Spanish Empire spanning 19.4 million squared km of the earths surface, a total of 13%. The 30 years war and financial problems, including a lack of reforms, weakened Spain's power by the mid 17th century. During the 18th century the new Bourbon dynasty revived Spain's economic and military power thru a series of important reforms into the armed forces and into the economy, notability by Charles 3 of Spain. Spain performed well in the wars of the French Revolutionary Wars the wars of Jenkins' Ear and the Austrian Succession and several other engagements thanks to the needed reforms. Due to the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century, Spain's occupation by French armies caused the so-called war of Spanish independence. This gave rise to vast use of guerrilla troops as a result of the wars devastation of Spain's economy. As such its military was in a bad shape and a huge amount of political instability resulted in the loss of most of Spain's former colonies, except Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines - these later would be lost in the Spanish American war. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spanish Armed Forces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
