Hello everyone! Let's continue talking about early modern Spain. In this video
00:00:00
we will discuss the founding of a great empire, the rise of the monarchy in the
00:00:10
16th century, the cost of maintaining the empire, and Spanish society under the
00:00:20
Habsburgs. The founding of a great empire. Isabel of Castilla and Fernando of
00:00:31
Aragon had a daughter named Juana. She was Juana of Castilla. Maximilian of
00:00:44
Austria had a son Philip of Habsburg Juana and Philip had a son named Carlos
00:00:53
he was Carlos the first of Spain and the fifth of Germany Carlos the first of
00:01:05
Spain inherited a great empire made up of the Hispanic kingdoms the conquered
00:01:14
lands in the Americas, and several European territories. You can see some of Carlos's empire
00:01:24
in this photo on the right. His empire is shown in green. The red line represents the boundaries
00:01:33
of the Germanic Empire. Carlos I was the first Hispanic monarch from the Habsburg dynasty.
00:01:47
In Spain, they were called the Austrians. When Carlos I of Spain died, the empire was divided
00:02:03
into two, so they split the empire. Carlos's brother Fernando inherited the Austrian and
00:02:14
German territories. Carlos's son Felipe received the rest of the empire, including Portugal.
00:02:27
The Rise of the Monarchy in the 16th Century
00:02:36
The Spanish kings, Carlos I and Felipe II, attempted to strengthen their power over the
00:02:48
peninsular kingdoms and maintain their authority in Europe. The monarchs took all the decisions
00:02:59
with the help of their advisors.
00:03:08
They created new jobs.
00:03:12
Now there were judges, scribes, and tax collectors.
00:03:14
These new jobs could only be held by nobles with clean blood.
00:03:23
So these jobs could only be held by privileged individuals
00:03:32
with what the monarchy thought of as clean blood so they could not have
00:03:39
Moorish or Jewish blood the riches that arrived from the Americas led to great
00:03:48
economic growth the gold and silver increased the wealth of the privileged
00:03:56
classes. So the privileged classes had more wealth. They had more money. The cost
00:04:03
of maintaining the Empire. In the second half of the 16th century, an economic
00:04:18
crisis developed. This crisis lasted until the 17th century. To maintain the
00:04:29
Empire, a huge amount of money was required. They needed money to pay the
00:04:39
workers and soldiers. The monarchs used gold and silver that came from the
00:04:47
Americas and took loans from banks. So they increased the taxes paid by the
00:04:56
working class. They needed more money to maintain a large empire so the working
00:05:04
class people had to pay the government more money. This meant that a large
00:05:15
sector of society grew poorer. Spanish society under the Habsburgs. Spanish
00:05:20
society under the Habsburgs was stratified. There was a privileged group
00:05:36
and a non-privileged group. The privileged did not work. They lived from the rent
00:05:43
from their properties and did not pay taxes. So the privileged made money because they owned
00:05:56
property. The people who lived on their property paid them. The privileged included the nobility,
00:06:04
clergy, and hidalgos. The non-privileged carried out all the work and paid taxes,
00:06:15
so life was harder for the non-privileged. This group included the peasants,
00:06:27
the bourgeoisie the bourgeoisie were the artisans shopkeepers and bankers non-privileged included
00:06:33
the urban working-class and beggars and thieves Spanish society under the Habsburgs the nobility
00:06:45
They lived in grand palaces and in great comfort.
00:07:01
They held parties and receptions in their palaces.
00:07:07
The thieves.
00:07:13
They survived by stealing.
00:07:14
Beggars and tramps.
00:07:19
They traveled around the countryside and cities begging.
00:07:21
They lived off of charity.
00:07:25
The peasants.
00:07:28
They made up the largest part of the population.
00:07:30
and lived in poverty. They went to the city markets to sell their products.
00:07:33
Hidalgos. They were untitled or less wealthy nobles with few assets. They were often officers
00:07:43
in the army or held a position in court. Artisans and shopkeepers. They were the bourgeoisie and
00:07:53
lived in the cities, clergy and nuns. They were very numerous because the church played an important
00:08:03
role in society. All right, that's all for now.
