{maketoc}Iberia, both Spain and Portugal, influenced much throughout 1399Neptune-Pluto1892. In the end, however, both nations had much less clout than most of Europe despite having literally mined millions in bullion and having a head start on international trade. How and why this happened illustrates how outer planet patterns mirror history differently according to national circumstance.<br />What becomes clear the more we delve into this Iberian Spotlight his that not only does history mirror outer planet activity but it does so specific to region. That at each of the cardinal points, 0, 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees each region shows different levels of change stands out for its significance and utility. During the 1560s, for instance, from the distance of history Spain took obvious missteps that obviated their superior position. At that time they should have centralized the treasury and their administration. Instead, their focus on saving Christianity and empire helped untold wealth move through their economy at little benefit to them....page...<h2>1399-1571</h2>From the beginning of the 1398 Neptune-Pluto wave to its first cardinal point (Neptune-90-Pluto-1571) Spain rose to its apex. But within its success lay the cause of its ultimate fall. How Spain went from a second rate system to dominating and initiating its decline within the first quarter wave tells us much about both Iberia and how to interpret history according to outer planet waves.<br />Spain, and in many cases the Portuguese case is the same, never fully established a united nationality. This fact displays why Spain never developed the cohesive systems other nations built. Her circumstance matches that of Germany and Italy in this respect, this comparison being verified by the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s; the World Wars and this conflict have much to do with the late national unification relative to other European states. Because Charles and Philip directed Spanish resources to other than Spanish concerns, Spain never matched the focus and capital of her rivals, Britain and France in particular. This does not mean that the parties acted wrongly. Indeed, Spanish authorities, Casitilian  to more specific, acted to the best of their ability based on established knowledge. Given the same circumstance, many of the other immature governments of the time could have fallen to the same errors. The massive bullion influx represents an unforeseen circumstance no government before since has likely faced. <h3>Christians, Islams and Jews</h3>...page...<h3>Ventures Overseas</h3>...page...<h4>The Caravelle</h4>...page...<h3>Spain Deconstructed</h3>...page...<h2>1572-1648</h2>...page...<h2>1649-1821</h2><h3>Fall From Grace</h3>...page...<h2>1822-1892</h2><h3>The Poor Man of Europe</h3><h3>South American Independence</h3>
