HISTORY OF SPAIN

• By the 19th century, Spain has lost nearly all
  its major possessions. The result of the
  Spanish-American war in 1898 made Spain weak
  because the U.S had defeated them. Spain was
  accepted as a member of the United Nations in
  1955. It became a major tourist area in the
  1960s. Following the defeat of France and the
  restoration of King Ferdinand, the constitution
  was set aside. In 1820, a new constitution was
  placed before the Cortes.
