You're just denying it until your ass bleeds. Anyone could pick up any authentic history of Western Europe and come to my same conclusion. Spain and Austria have been the least powerful European powers for 350 years. It's obvious. While they were declining, all the others were either growing or standing still. I insert the number '350 years', but you cannot accept that; so you trumpet at me how Spain was once so grand 500 years ago. That's 100% beside the point.
