Spain is located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, France, Atlantic Ocean, and Portugal. 00:00:01
Spain is separated from France by the Pyrenees, a protective mountain barrier between the two countries. 00:00:11
The Strait of Gibraltar divides Spain from Africa, which at its narrowest is about 15 kilometers, or 9 miles, wide. 00:00:18
This eased the invasion of the Moors in the 8th century during the rise of the Islamic Caliphate. 00:00:26
The Arab presence lasted until the end of the 15th century, when Christian Spanish kingdoms unified modern Spain. 00:00:32
This unification helped Spain compete with other maritime powers, such as the United Kingdom, and continental powers like France. 00:00:39
Spain's access to the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, along with its need for natural 00:00:47
resources, promoted its consolidation into one of the greatest naval and colonial powers 00:00:51
of Europe. 00:00:56
While Spain has had external challenges, its main geographic challenge comes from within. 00:00:58
Spain's core is Madrid, the country's capital, most populated city, and political center. 00:01:04
Madrid sits on Spain's Meseta Central and was chosen as the capital in the 16th century 00:01:10
to allow more centralized control of the country. 00:01:16
But Spain's mountainous terrain has historically determined its political life 00:01:19
by hindering communication between different regions within the country. 00:01:23
This geography has led to the emergence of regionalist and separatist movements, 00:01:28
especially in Catalonia and the Basque Country. 00:01:33
Spain's challenge, then, is to bring about a truly united nation 00:01:37
with a balance of power between the central government in Madrid 00:01:40
and the autonomous regions, especially as the European crisis is threatening its stability. 00:01:43
