SPAIN AFTER 1492 (Unit 13-Science Y5)

We have walked along the medieval time in our country with the VISIGOTHS, AL ANDALUS and THE CHRISTIAN KINGDOMS. We are going to review a bit all of it with a new THINKING ROUTINE: THE HOT WORDS.  What is a HOT WORD? It is a word that can help you to remember lot of things about a topic. So let's think during a minute about three hot words about each one of the topics we have learnt during this unit. 

Now let's watch a video to introduce what happened in Spain after 1492: THE SPANISH EMPIRE. At the end of the video you should be able to answer these questions: 

• Which was one of the conquerors?
• Which continent was the biggest part of the Spanish Empire in?
• Which metal was important during this period?

SPAIN AFTER 1492

Columbus reached America in 1492.

In this year also the Catholic Monarchs unified the kingdoms of Spain. 

Charles I and Philip II acquired new possesion during the 16th century.

In 18th Century the kings established ABSOLUTE MONARCHY. 

THE TERRITORIES OF THE SPANISH EMPIRE 

Between 16th and 19th century Spain has possesions in every part of the world: Canary Islands, America, Philippes in Asia and several teritorritories in Norh Africa. The kings also inherited territores in central and southern Europe.

By the end of 19th century most of these possessions no longer belonged to Spain.

WRITERS AND ARTISTS

In the 16th and 17th  centuries were a great centuries for art and literature in Spain: THE GOLDEN AGE.

Literature: Miguel de Cervantes wrote El quijote. Famous poets like Quevedo and Góngora. Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca wrote many plays. 

Paintings: Diego Velazquez was one of the famous painters of this time. 

THE CHRISTIAN KINGDOMS (Unit 13-Science Y5)

We have been talking about: VISIGOTHS and about AL ANDALUS.  We are going to review how you are learning with a THINKING ROUTINE: THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. Just to remind you:

• GREEN: what you have already learnt.
• ORANGE: what you are trying to improve or going deeper.
• RED: what you haven't learn at all. 

Let's have a look about a famous Spanish TV serie, at the end of the video you will answer some questions:

• Who were the kings when they got Granada?
• Were there any kind of war or battle?

THE CHRISTIAN RECONQUEST

Around year 1000 Al Andalus weakened and broke up into TAIFA.

Christian Kingdoms expanded.

The Christian Reconques was completed in 1492, when the Caholic Monarchs conquered Granada. 

THE CHRISTIAN KINGDOMS

Around 1230 the Christian Territory was divided into:

• The Kingdom of Navarre included Navarre and part of la Rioja.
• The Crown of Aragon included the Kingdom of Aragon, Valencia and Majorca with the Catalonian Counties.
• The Crown of Castile included the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Leon. Later will include Andalusia.
• Portugal was an independent kingdom.

In 1479 Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, married and united the Crown of Aragon and Castile. They were known as Catholic Monarchs.

THE KINGDOM OF GRANADA

It was the last Taifa Kingdom 

(Granada, Malaga and Almeria)

It was weakened by internal disputes. Finally it was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs. 

19th Century in SPAIN (Unit 13-Science Y6)

In this video you will know a bit more about one of the most important characters during this century: FERDINAND VII.

 

After you will watch at this video, you could answer these questions:

1. Who was Ferdinand VII's father?
2. Where was Ferdinand VII born?
3. Who helped Ferdinand VII?
4. Who was Ferdinand VII's heir?
5. Who was Ferdinand VII's brother?
6. Who was 'Pepe Botella'?
7. Why was Cadiz important?
8. How many stages were there in Ferdinand VII's reign?

You could look at the map to find all the important historic facts of the 19th century in Spain:


THE SPANISH WAR OF INDEPENDENCE

• In 1808:
• Napoleón Bonaparte, the Emperor of France, invaded Spain.
• The King Ferdinand VII was forced to abdicate.
• Napoleon's brother, Joseph Bonaparte, became king. 
• Opposition to his reign led to the Spanish War of Independence.
• The Spanish parliament, or Cortes, took refuge in Cadiz. In 1812 they wrote the first modern Constitution, the Constitution of Cadiz (La Pepa).
• It limited the king's power.
• It stablished the right of citizens, including the vote for 25 year-old men. 

THE RESTORATION OF FERDINAND VII:

• In 1814 Ferdinand VII was restored as King. Initially, he did not accept the Constitution and he ruled in an authoritarian manner.
• In 1820 Ferdinand VII was forced to accept the Constitution after the revolt. Three years later he was restored as an absolute monarch with the help of the French. 
• The political chaos in Spain caused an independence movement in the Spanish colonies in Spain.
• In 1824 all the American colonies except Cuba and Puerto Rico were independent. 

CONSERVATISM AND LIBERALISM:

In 1833, Ferdinand's daughter, Isabella II, came to the throne. During her reign there were conflicts between two groups:

• Conservatives, they had traditional values, and supported an absolute monarchy. 
• Liberals, they wanted reforms to modernise the country. They supported the Constitutions, and favoured limitations on the powers of the monarch. 

There were many coups d'etat by army officers and in 1868 Isabella was exiled. 

In 1873, the First Spanish Republic was proclaimed, but it lasted less than a year. In 1874, the monarchy was restored under Isabella's son, Alfonso XII. 

LET'S PLAY WITH THIS ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW THE LESSON. 

Al Andalus (Unit 13-Science Y5)

Today we are going to work with a new THINKING ROUTINE. It is called THE MISTERY QUESTION. You have to think on what we learnt the last lesson: THE VISIGOTHS. Once you have in mind you have to create a question that maybe one of your partners could not understand. The teacher will try to answer and explain better that points.

Once we have solved all the questions and everything is clear we are going to watch a video to learn a bit more about AL-ANDALUS. Pay attention because at the end of the video you have to answer the following question:

• Where did the first Muslim enter through to start the conquest of Spain?

MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS 

In 711A.D. Muslims from northern Africa invaded Visigothic Spain. 

Hispania was called Al-Andalus.

Muslims brought their customs, laws and religion. 

The highest authority was the CALIPH and the religion was ISLAM

They lived in cities. They were merchants and craftsmen.

Christians live in the country in the north of Península, the highest authority was the KING. They were farmers. 

AL ANDALUS

The peninsula was occupied by Muslims for almost eight hundred years.

They lived in walled cities on hills. 

They built palaces and Mosques.

They most important city was Córdoba the capital.

THE CHRISTIAN KINGDOMS

Muslims occupied the south, but there were indepedent Christian Kingdoms in the pas in the north like: Kingdom of Asturias, later the kingdom of Leon. 

At the end of the period the KINGDOM OF CASTILE was formed.
