I mean, sort of yes, but also Catalonia was annexed within living memory.
- notspanishflu 9y agoIf you believe that lie, I can't help you.
- xenophonf 9y agoI think you can assume goodwill here. If OP is mistaken, clue them in. Reputable sources of info on the history of Catalonia are plentiful, whether online or in the library. In this case, OP is probably referring to the Spanish Civil War, which indeed happened within living memory and prior to which Catalonia was autonomous under the Second Spanish Republic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Catalonia#Republic_and_civil_war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Catalonia#Republic_...
- kgwgk 9y agoIt's true, Catalonia already proclaimed its independence on the evening of October 6th 1934 (it only lasted until the early morning of October 7th 1934, though).

- yorwba 9y agoWhat annexation are you talking about? As far as I can tell, Catalonia lost it's independence with the Nueva Planta decrees in 1716 [0], which is far from "within living memory". [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nueva_Planta_decrees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nueva_Planta_decrees
- occultist_throw 9y agoOh please. Just because it happened a few hundred years ago, doesnt mean they lost their own heritage, their language, and their self-determination. Look no further than Ireland. That battle goes back to Grace O'Malley and Elizabeth in the 16th'c. In reality, it went further back, to this structure called the Hadrian Wall, but that's in 1st c. "Living memory" indeed.
