Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries reached its height and declined under the Habsburgs, sometimes referred to informally as the Hapsburgs.

Under the Bonaparte dynasty, Spain failed to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions of the 18th century, and also failed to absorb the ideals that of the Enlightenment that were revolutionizing European thought.

 Encyclopedia: History of Spain
Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries reached its height and declined under the Habsburgs, sometimes referred to incorrectly as the "Hapsburgs." The Spanish empire reached its maximum extent under Carlos I of Spain, who was also (as Carlos V) emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
Spain initially sided against France in the Napoleonic Wars, but the defeat of her army early in the war led to Charles IV of Spain's pragmatic decision to align with the revolutionary French.
Spain - nearly bankrupt from the war with France and the reconstruction of the country - was unable to pay her soldiers, and in 1820, an expedition intended for the colonies revolted in Cadiz.

 Station Information - Alfonso XII of Spain
Alfonso XII of Spain (November 28, 1857 - November 25, 1885), was king of Spain, reigning from 1875 to 1885, after a coup d'etat restored the monarchy and ended the ephemeral First Spanish Republic.
When Queen Isabella and her husband were forced to leave Spain by the revolution of 1868, Alfonso accompanied them to Paris, and from there he was sent to the Theresianum at Vienna to continue his studies.
He assumed the title of Alfonso XII; for although no king of united Spain had previously borne the name, the Spanish monarchy was regarded as continuous with the more ancient monarchy, represented by the eleven kings of León and Castile already referred to (see Alfonso).
