  HistoryBuff.com -- The Spanish Armada of 1588
Though hindsight has sometimes construed the Spanish Armada as a showdown exclusively between England and Spain in 1588, it must be remembered that Philip's primary field of interest lay in the European Continent-his troops were engaged for decades in pitched battles against Protestant forces in the Netherlands and France.
Ten or eleven Spanish vessels were damaged or sunken in the engagement, but many of these were among the least seaworthy in the Armada to begin with, and Medina-Sidonia's still generally intact squadrons were able to quickly resume their battle formations.
While the English had of course been spared the lethal fury of the Atlantic storm, they themselves were felled in large numbers by a deadly enemy of their own: a concurrent outbreak of dysentery and typhus which raged rapidly throughout the English fleet, killing perhaps 6-8,000 sailors and sickening many more.

It was used by republicans during various periods of Spanish history and became the official anthem in 1822 for a short time.

 Black Legend Information
The Black Legend (in Spanish, La leyenda negra) is the disparaging depiction of Spain and Spaniards as bloodthirsty and cruel, intolerant, greedy and fanatical.
To avoid causing offense the Seville Expo '92 (during a PSOE Government) celebrated the 500th aniversary of the discovery of America, as the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and not of colonization or conquest.
Similarly, these advocates tend to excuse the "The Spanish Fury" or the sack of Rome, emphasizing that troops of Habsburg Spain were composed by many different European nationalities and ethnicities but under “fragile” Spanish command.

 Books | Spanish fury at 'slur' on the Conquistadores
Outraged Spanish conservatives have turned against an historian for daring to question the idea that bravery, patriotism and belief in a Christian god were the key values of the Conquistadores who created Spain's new world empire.
Mr Kamen's book has shaken the accepted, school-taught Spanish view of the New World conquista as an epic tale of organised empire-building carried out by brave, loyal Spaniards for the greater glory of their country and monarchs.
The historian has, instead, painted the destruction of the Inca and Aztec civilisations as the work of ruthless, self-interested entrepeneurs and mercenaries who used the Spanish crown as little more than a shield for their ambitions.

Spanish sports minister Juan Gomez-Angulo, who was attending the match at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena, left the stadium in protest and instructed his players not to begin until an apology had been issued.
The final only commenced after an apologetic statement from Tennis Australia, who said the correct anthem would be played when the Spanish flag is raised prior to Saturday's doubles match.
"I will be asking the Spanish ambassador to approach the Australian government to inquire as to how this intolerable offence could happen at the inaugural ceremony of an event as important as the Davis Cup," Gomez-Angulo told a news conference.

 Tribe’s Blog » Blog Archive » The Spanish character
Where the Italians have traditionally prided themselves on their ability to contain opponents (for example) the Spanish have always looked for something else, something a little more akin to poetry.
This appeal to Madrid’s more traditional communist/socialist roots, before the football team and the city became forever identified with Franco, is still the “sweated” side of Spanish football, the one that bases its approach on physical stamina and spirit.
This is the old idea of the ‘Furia Española’ (Spanish Fury) born in the Antwerp Olympic Games in 1920 to which Spain first sent a representative football team (by third-class tickets on a train through France).
