Lo que América le debe a España

The encounter between Spain and America was a transcendental event and the legacy that was left there was an imperishable mark. In this work, the prestigious historian Marcelo Gullo addresses the need to adequately understand the History of Spain and Latin America, the ties and the countless points in common that unite us, thus fleeing from the falsified and manipulated history that has been transmitted for decades. With the creation of Hispanidad, America received the values of Greco-Roman Catholic culture, and not only its enlightened classes, but also the popular sectors became legatees of the thought of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas. In turn, the inhabitants of America enjoyed full rights and were free subjects of the Spanish Crown. Latin America owes its substantial unity to Spain, so that from Madrid to Kiev or from Granada to Berlin there is more psychological, sociological and cultural distance than from Lima to Seville or from Buenos Aires to Salamanca. The towns that extend from the Pyrenees to Acapulco and from California to Tierra del Fuego essentially make up a single town, a single town, although, as the black legend shows, they have lost consciousness of their unity of destiny.
