Summary

As neighbors on the Iberian Peninsula and early rival nations, Portugal and Spain have been associated for much of their histories, each country boasts distinct social, cultural, and economic identities. This book examines the evolution of each country from the rise of their earliest civilizations through their rivalry during the Age of Discovery, their days as empire-builders, their struggles through authoritarian regimes, and their emergence as independent nations
