As we all know"Autonomous region"This name has its own specific meaning in many countries, such as China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, ** Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, etc., which were established mainly to better protect and respect local culture and customs. In general, China is a unified country, and all regions are under the administration of ***.
Referring to this, we have to talk about the system of self-government in Spain, which is also a unique phenomenon on a global scale.
When it comes to Spain, the first thing that comes to mind is its beautiful natural landscapes and the enthusiasm of its people, while relatively little is known about its political structure. When you look at the map of Spain, you can see that the country is divided into seventeen different regions.
Spain is not a large country in size, similar to China's Sichuan Province. These areas are in fact autonomous regions, politically and legally, with no right to intervene.
Such a situation is almost unimaginable for China, which has a complete territory and a unified system.
People will wonder what kind of living conditions the people living under such a system will be, and can such a country still be called "a complete country"? At present, many Spanish managers are trying to change this situation, but they find it extremely difficult and have no choice but to accept it. What is it that makes Spain what it is?
The roots of the problem in Spain's "bulk" history can be traced back three thousand years. Spain is located on the Iberian Peninsula and was originally inhabited by the Basques, and it is speculated that the early inhabitants came here for hunting. Because the Iberian Peninsula is very suitable for hunting, it attracts people of different ethnicities, and despite the conflicts, it is generally relatively peaceful.
In 218 BC, with the rise of the Roman Empire, Spain as a neighbor was annexed, marking the first integration of Spain with other cultures. At that time, the Basques, who were more technologically backward, gladly accepted the rule and technical teaching of the Romans, and the Roman rule was relatively harmonious.
However, the Roman Empire eventually went to the top, and in the face of numerous enemies, it was invaded by the Germanic peoples, and it fell apart into many small states, and Spain became part of the Visigothic kingdom. During this period, Spain had to be reintegrated into a new nation.
Subsequently, Spain became the territory of the Arabs, and the Moorish invasion caused it to once again experience national integration. The strong combat effectiveness of the Moors ensured stability for a while. During this period, Spain witnessed intermarriage and integration between various ethnic groups, resulting in a pluralistic racial structure.
Although generally stable, a number of small countries gained independence from Spain during the war. By the fifteenth century, Spain had become five separate kingdoms with their own political, cultural, and linguistic systems.
Subsequently, the intermarriage of the two independent kingdoms led to a merger that eventually led to what is now known as Spain. With the cooperation of both sides, the Moors were expelled and the remaining three small states were united, but due to the long-term **, even after the merger, the five regions still maintained their own unique peoples and ways of life.
By the time of World War II, Franco the One had taken control of Spain, but because the country had become accustomed to it, coupled with the agitation and raids of small countries for independence, it led to more**.
After Franco's death in 1975, Spain was almost in a state of disintegration, and the new king, Carlos I, had hoped to unify the country, but found it impossible to control it, so he abandoned his attempt to intervene.
As a result, Spain was further subdivided into seventeen autonomous regions, a state that continues to the present day. Spain faces great challenges in the allocation and management of resources due to the severity of the situation, which is one of the reasons for the current state of its economy. As the global situation continues to change, the challenges facing Spain continue to grow.
