- nudpiedo 6y agoSorry but you are mentioning a common historical missconception perpetuated in history because of competition, war and propaganda between the Spanish Empire and England (the sort of conflict and propaganda also evolved in the time, it is a complex topic) Please check this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_legend_(Spain) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_legend_(Spain) There is a lot of literature on the topic, so I won't discuss further.
