66 fechas cruciales en la Historia de España

66 Crucial Dates in the History of Spain is an essential journey through the history of Spain through moments that constituted a crossroads for it. There are those who have a deterministic view of history. For them, this would be a kind of exact science and historical processes similar to equations with a single possible result, when in reality unavoidable, unpredictable and difficult to control factors intervene that produce disruptive events with different solutions. It is in this sense that we use the term "crucial" here: at the crossroads; or, to be more specific, historical crossroads. From that point of view, this is a travelogue, whose stops and visits make up those crucial dates we are referring to... And, by the way, some others that were not so crucial. From the fall of Tire to the Babylonians, on the other side of the Mediterranean, to the 23F coup d'état, at the beginning of the Transition, going through events that changed everything at a stroke, such as the battle of Guadalete and others whose consequences, positive or negative, they only manifested themselves with the passage of time, as happened with the wedding of Petronila de Aragón or the loss of Manila to the English troops in the 18th century. Battles, sudden deaths, unexpected decisions, even natural phenomena that made our History take one course and not another that would have been undoubtedly possible.
