  Spanish people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spanish people or Spaniards are the ethnic group or nation native to Spain, in the Iberian Peninsula of southwestern Europe.
Modern Spaniards are linguistically Latin, while their ancestors are derived primarily from native Iberians as well as varied Basque, Phoenician, Greek, Celtic, Roman, Germanic, and Berber elements.
Regional diversity is important to many Spaniards and some regions (other than the ones associated with the different nationalities) have strong local identities and dialects, such as Asturias, Aragon, the Canary Islands, and Andalusia.

Modern Spaniards are linguistically Latin, while their ancestors are derived primarily from native Iberians as well as varying Basque, Phoenician, Greek, Celtic, Roman, Germanic, and North African Berber elements.
It should be noted, however, that most Spaniards can trace their paternal and maternal lineages to the early settlers of the Iberian Peninsula, carriers of the male R1b and the female H haplogroups, which are the most frequent haplogroups in Europe.
The majority of Spaniards are at least nominally Catholics (not all are practicing however), while Protestants, Muslims, Jews and other religious groups are also found in Spain.

Other lists feel it is their mission to eradicate the anonymity practices inherent in the Web and have asked me for my real name and a short bio to post on their lists.
One of the most bizarre mailing lists I am subscribed to, and whose name I seem to have forgotten, constitutes the paradigm of absurdity in their subscriber's search for a sense of community.

 Spain
The kingdom of the Catholic Monarchs then imposed the Christian religion: in 1492, Isabella and Ferdinand ordered the expulsion of all Jews from their dominions, having imposed physical segregation in 1480 (two years after the establishment of the Inquisition), and in 1502 Muslims were forced to convert to Christianity or be banished.
By 1512, most of the kingdoms of present-day Spain were politically unified (with the exception of Navarre) although not as a modern centralized state.
With the approval of the Spanish Constitution of 1978 and the arrival of democracy, the old historic nationalities — Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia — were given far-reaching autonomy, which was then soon extended to all Spanish regions, resulting in one of the most decentralized territorial organizations in Western Europe.

By the 1580s the Spaniards were engaged in silver mining and slaving operations near modern-day Cerralvo, in the area that Cabeza de Vaca apparently crossed about fifty years earlier.
One of Chapa's contributions to the understanding of the native population of northeastern Mexico and the lower Rio Grande is his lists of the names and principal areas of residence of over 250 Indian tribes.
The listing indicates that many tribes encountered in Nuevo León were originally from areas outside the region—from modern Texas, Durango, Chihuahua, and the New Mexico area.

 Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Larrazabal joins short but illustrious list of Spaniards to win Amateur Championship
The young Spaniard, a graduate of the University of Coastal Carolina in America, had looked to be coasting to victory after going three holes up at the 27th hole of the 36-hole final, but Sell, a 23-year-old Amateur Championship debutant, produced a rousing late rally to level the match at 16.
Like the young Spaniard, who followed in the family tradition by competing in the 1998 Eisenhower Trophy, Sell’s appearance in the last two could not have been predicted at the start of the week.
The Spaniard forced his way into a four-hole advantage with a birdie-three at the tenth and held that lead until Sell fashioned his first birdie of the day at the short 151-yard 14th to reduce the deficit to three.

It is important to note, however, that many Spaniards identify themselves as Catholics just because they were baptised, even though they are not very religious at all (in fact some polls show that 14% do not believe in any God).
There are also many Spaniards (in Spain and abroad) who claim Jewish ancestry to the Conversos, and still practice certain customs.

After the War of Independence (1808-1814), a series of revolts and armed conflicts between Liberals and supporters of the ancien régime lasted throughout much of the 19th century, complicated by a dispute over dynastic succession by the Carlists which led to three civil wars.
With the approval of the Spanish Constitution of 1978 and the arrival of democracy, the old historic nationalities — Basque Country (Euskadi), Catalonia (Cataluña), Galicia and Andalusia— were given far-reaching autonomy, which was then soon extended to all Spanish regions, resulting in one of the most decentralized territorial organizations in Western Europe.

Attributed variously to measles (zahuatl tepiton), mumps, cocoliztli (great pestilence), typhus (matlazahuatl), or multiple symptoms, which cannot be identified as specific diseases, smallpox is wholly absent from the list. Spaniards knew the smallpox scourge first-hand, from centuries of experience with epidemic outbreaks.
Then too, had there been further deadly eruptions of the disease it is unlikely that both chroniclers and authorities would have failed to seize the opportunity to attribute another massive die-off to the hand of god, rather than the hand of man. 3.1.
Only native remedies were available in Tenochtitlán because Spaniards, who might have provided aid in the same way that captured Christian crossbow-men were used to shoot arrows at their comrades, had already fled or were dead.
