It's 1492. Christopher Columbus lays the foundations of the Spanish Empire. Soon better men than him consolidate Spanish Power in the Caribbean. In 1522 Ferdinand Magellan circumnavigates the World. Hernan Cortes completes the Conquest of Mexico in 1521, and Francisco Pizarro that of the Inca Empire in 1533. In 1561 Miguel Lopez de Legazpi consolidates Spanish rule in the Philippines. In 1546 silver is discovered in Potosi and Zacatecas, ushering in the golden age of the Spanish Empire. But troubles in Europe spill over to the Americas as more powerful states take chunks of the Spanish Empire. After the Napoleonic Wars independence movements sweep the Spanish from America. By the 21st century Spain looses all former colonies except the Canaries and enclaves in North Africa.
