  This just confirms the point I made above about naming. What's your point exactly?

    The point about the naming isn't very interesting. The concept existed since medieval times. In the 18th century it got termed reconquista. Later, in the 19th century it got capitalized. None of that is 20th century Francoist propaganda even if Franco did also push the concept.

    It seems to directly contradict a lot of what you've said in this thread about the idea of a reconquest being a modern historiographic invention.
