Catalonia

Catalonia is one and the richest autonomous region in Spain. It's official language is the spanish, but, as many other regions in Spain, Catalonia has a native language, and in this case this native language is the catalan. It is talked in parts of France, Valencia, Balearic Islands and Sardinia too, including El Carxe, a piece of Murcia. It is the official language of Andorra. Catalonia existed as a country too.

Roman and Greek Period
Catalonia had its glorious time too. The first catalan colony was founded by greeks, it was called Emporion, nowadays Emporion is still there, as Empúries, a town in North Catalonia. Romans arrived there and occupied Emporion, and founded cities as Tarraco (Tarragona) or Barcino (Barcelona). Don't say its wrong, because Tarraco was the city, and Tarraconensis the province.

Moor, French and Reconquista Period
Catalonia was one of the last zones of moors to ocupy, and moors went away fastly, because french arrived and stablished the Hispanic Mark. Catalonia gained independence of France via war, and married with Aragon. Then Crown of Aragon (The Union) joined Reconquista and conquered Valencia and Balearic Islands, and Murcia too, but Castille buyed Murcia fastly.

1500-1700 Period
Aragon unified with Castille, as another territory, but with its own military and government. Aragon started to expand trough Mediterranean sea, and arrived to Athens, there it stablished a puppet state, As Naples. Naples and Athens gained independence. After that, Aragon collapsed and joined the new Castille, or Spain. At 1700 the spanish king died, so the War of The Spanish Succession started. Ex-Aragon zone supported Archduke of Austria and Ex-Castille zone supported Bourbon dynasty. At 1714, Principalty of Catalonia gained independence, but lasted only 3 months, after the siege of Barcelona defeated Catalonia.

Napoleonic Wars
Between 1714 and 1800 Catalonia suffered a lot of consequences losing all its rights. Napoleon and Catalonia allied against Spain but they were defeated. Catalonia was poorer now.

First Republic - Second Republic Period
Catalans were more happy with republics, and Catalonia was richer than ever. Second Republic for Catalonia was the best period of history for them, but happiness would end when Franco arrived with the Spanish Civil War. Catalonia fought for the Republicans, and majority there (including nowadays) were (and are) communists.

Franco Dictatorship Period
Catalonia, for one more time, losed all its rights, and culture and language were prohibited. Catalonia was poor, and more than 1 million catalans were killed in this period by Franco forces, while Franco said that the killers were red communists, and they dont. All communist polititions in Spain exilied to France and USSR after the Spanish Civil war. On Redemocratization period, all that changed. On November 1975, Franco died by Natural death.

Redemocratization Period
Between 1978 and 1981, catalan independentists and communists increased, and catalan communist families from other countries went back to Catalonia.

Nowadays
Catalans are divided in Indepedentists (As 52% of population in Catalonia aprox.) and Unionists (48% aprox.). The independentists and unionists are divided too.

- Independentists: Communists (they are most there), Democratics and Totally Capitalists.

- Unionists: Fascists, Right Capitalists (PP voters), Left-Handed (PSC or Socialist (Fake) Catalan Party) and Centre Capitalists (Ciutadans/Ciudadanos voters).
