The war had its roots in the discomfort generated in Catalan society by the presence of Castilian troops during the Franco-Spanish War between the Kingdom of France and the Monarchy of Spain as part of the Thirty Years' War. Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares, the chief minister of Philip IV, had been trying to distribute more evenly the huge economic and military burden of the Spanish Empire, until then supported mainly by the Crown of Castile. But his Union of Arms (Spanish: Union de Armas) policy raised hostilities and protests all across the countries of Spain. Catalan peasants, who were forced to quarter Castilian troops, responded on Corpus Christi day, May 1640, with an uprising known as 'Bloody Corpus' (Catalan: Corpus de Sang), under the slogans "Long live the faith of Christ!", "Long live the land, death to bad government". This 'Bloody Corpus' which began with the death of a reaper (Catalan: segador), and led to the somewhat mysterious death of Dalmau de Queralt, Count of Santa Coloma and Spanish viceroy of Catalonia, marked the beginning of the conflict. The irregular militia involved were known as 'Miquelets'. The situation took Olivares by surprise, with most of the Spanish army fighting on other fronts far from Catalonia.
Many Catalans have long called for an independent Catalonia. The dispute over the region’s future divides not only Spanish but also Catalan society.
In October 2017, the Catalan regional government called a referendum on an independent Catalonia. Spanish authorities deployed police in a bid to stop the vote. In the end, the result was unrepresentative, and Catalan politicians and activists were tried in court or fled abroad. Since then, many supporters of a separate state have seen other concerns overtake that dream. First the pandemic hit Catalonia and especially Barcelona, which depends on tourism, very hard. Then came inflation. All of this pushed the conflict over Catalan independence, which once nearly tore Spain apart, into the back seat. But for many people, the issue is far from r...

Catalan protests: Separatists clash with police in Barcelona | DW News
Spanish and Catalan leaders are appealing for an end to the violence in Barcelona and other cities after protesters clashed with police for the third night running. The demonstrators want the release of Catalan independence leaders who received long prison terms. They also want a path to nationhood. Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas after reportedly being attacking with petrol bombs.

Brief Political History of Catalonia
This video explores the history of Catalonia and looks to see how it ended up as part of Spain while maintaining a strong sense of distinctiveness. It begins with the first people, traces its path as a Roman colony, its high point as a medieval kingdom and its union with Castille. It continues with the development of Catalan nationalism, its difficult years during the Franco regime, and why in recent times its government and population have sought independence from Spain at different points despite its increasing prosperity.

Spanish protesters opposed to Catalan amnesty bill clash with riot police in Madrid
Spanish protesters opposed to a controversial amnesty bill clashed with riot police in Madrid. They oppose the acting prime minister’s plan to give amnesty to Catalan separatists in return for their support.
The deal, which will grant an amnesty to Carles Puigdemont, a fugitive Catalan separatist leader, and others who took part in a failed illegal independence bid in 2017, has stoked political tensions and prompted hundreds of thousands of Spaniards to protest.

Anti-tourism protests across Spain continue despite economic growth | BBC News
The Spanish economy has been growing faster than most of its European neighbours recently - and that's in great part due to its tourism industry.
Tourism contributes around 13% of GDP growth to the country's economy thanks to a model based on sand, sea and sun.
This year, nearly 100 million foreign visitors are expected - a new record - and not everyone is happy about the influx of tourists.
Anti-tourism protests have been taking place across many parts of the count§y, including popular destinations Barcelona and Malaga.

Why Do Some Catalans Want Independence From Spain? | History of Catalonia 800 - 2021
Catalonia/Catalunya/Cataluña is an autonomous community in the northeast of Spain that in recent years had an increasingly visible movement asking for full independence, culminating in an election in 2017 that the Spanish government deemed unconstitutional and illegal. In February 2021, the Catalan rapper Pablo Hastél was arrested for lyrics and tweets insulting the Spanish royal family and praising groups such as ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) and GRAPO (Grupos de Resistencia Antifascista Primero de Octubre), Basque and Marxist armed groups. This has sparked more protests across Spain but especially in Catalonia. In this video I take a look at the history of Catalonia and the roots of its independence movement. Was it ever an independent kingdom? How long have Catalans wanted independence? A...

Many Catalans have long called for an independent Catalonia. The dispute over the region’s future divides not only Spanish but also Catalan society.
In October 2017, the Catalan regional government called a referendum on an independent Catalonia. Spanish authorities deployed police in a bid to stop the vote. In the end, the result was unrepresentative, and Catalan politicians and activists were tried in court or fled abroad. Since then, many supporters of a separate state have seen other concerns overtake that dream. First the pandemic hit Catalonia and especially Barcelona, which depends on tourism, very hard. Then came inflation. All of this pushed the conflict over Catalan independence, which once nearly tore Spain apart, into the back seat. But for many people, the issue is far from resolved. The young lawmaker Marta Rosique is one of those who continues to vigorously campaign for independence. Meanwhile others like Pilar Barriendos feel patronized and pressured by independence supporters and their activities. In protest, the teacher has joined a group calling itself the ‘Cleaning Brigade.’ At night, its members remove pro-independence flags and placards from streets and squares.
Across Spain, the Catalan independence movement has helped buttress the rise of right-wing parties that feed off nationalist sentiment and invoke Spanish unity. As Spain approaches early parliamentary elections on July 23, the parties are wielding the issue to their advantage. Catalan artist Odon Ventura Ruiz is one of those who wants to see mediated solutions rather than continued divisiveness and conflict. He and many others stand between the pro- and anti- independence camps. He believes that trying to push Catalan independence through with only 50% approval among the population is a dangerous mistake. To overcome the divisions in society, he hopes for a new sense of community. ‘Whatever we want to do and achieve, we have to do it together,’ he says.

Many Catalans have long called for an independent Catalonia. The dispute over the region’s future divides not only Spanish but also Catalan society.
In October 2017, the Catalan regional government called a referendum on an independent Catalonia. Spanish authorities deployed police in a bid to stop the vote. In the end, the result was unrepresentative, and Catalan politicians and activists were tried in court or fled abroad. Since then, many supporters of a separate state have seen other concerns overtake that dream. First the pandemic hit Catalonia and especially Barcelona, which depends on tourism, very hard. Then came inflation. All of this pushed the conflict over Catalan independence, which once nearly tore Spain apart, into the back seat. But for many people, the issue is far from resolved. The young lawmaker Marta Rosique is one of those who continues to vigorously campaign for independence. Meanwhile others like Pilar Barriendos feel patronized and pressured by independence supporters and their activities. In protest, the teacher has joined a group calling itself the ‘Cleaning Brigade.’ At night, its members remove pro-independence flags and placards from streets and squares.
Across Spain, the Catalan independence movement has helped buttress the rise of right-wing parties that feed off nationalist sentiment and invoke Spanish unity. As Spain approaches early parliamentary elections on July 23, the parties are wielding the issue to their advantage. Catalan artist Odon Ventura Ruiz is one of those who wants to see mediated solutions rather than continued divisiveness and conflict. He and many others stand between the pro- and anti- independence camps. He believes that trying to push Catalan independence through with only 50% approval among the population is a dangerous mistake. To overcome the divisions in society, he hopes for a new sense of community. ‘Whatever we want to do and achieve, we have to do it together,’ he says.

The demonstrators want the release of Catalan independence leaders who received long prison terms. They also want a path to nationhood. Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas after reportedly being attacking with petrol bombs.

This video explores the history of Catalonia and looks to see how it ended up as part of Spain while maintaining a strong sense of distinctiveness. It begins with the first people, traces its path as a Roman colony, its high point as a medieval kingdom and its union with Castille. It continues with the development of Catalan nationalism, its difficult years during the Franco regime, and why in recent times its government and population have sought independence from Spain at different points despite its increasing prosperity.

Spanish protesters opposed to a controversial amnesty bill clashed with riot police in Madrid. They oppose the acting prime minister’s plan to give amnesty to Catalan separatists in return for their support.
The deal, which will grant an amnesty to Carles Puigdemont, a fugitive Catalan separatist leader, and others who took part in a failed illegal independence bid in 2017, has stoked political tensions and prompted hundreds of thousands of Spaniards to protest.

The Spanish economy has been growing faster than most of its European neighbours recently - and that's in great part due to its tourism industry.
Tourism contributes around 13% of GDP growth to the country's economy thanks to a model based on sand, sea and sun.
This year, nearly 100 million foreign visitors are expected - a new record - and not everyone is happy about the influx of tourists.
Anti-tourism protests have been taking place across many parts of the count§y, including popular destinations Barcelona and Malaga.

Catalonia/Catalunya/Cataluña is an autonomous community in the northeast of Spain that in recent years had an increasingly visible movement asking for full independence, culminating in an election in 2017 that the Spanish government deemed unconstitutional and illegal. In February 2021, the Catalan rapper Pablo Hastél was arrested for lyrics and tweets insulting the Spanish royal family and praising groups such as ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) and GRAPO (Grupos de Resistencia Antifascista Primero de Octubre), Basque and Marxist armed groups. This has sparked more protests across Spain but especially in Catalonia. In this video I take a look at the history of Catalonia and the roots of its independence movement. Was it ever an independent kingdom? How long have Catalans wanted independence? And why is Spain so unwilling to let go of its northeastern community?

The war had its roots in the discomfort generated in Catalan society by the presence of Castilian troops during the Franco-Spanish War between the Kingdom of France and the Monarchy of Spain as part of the Thirty Years' War. Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares, the chief minister of Philip IV, had been trying to distribute more evenly the huge economic and military burden of the Spanish Empire, until then supported mainly by the Crown of Castile. But his Union of Arms (Spanish: Union de Armas) policy raised hostilities and protests all across the countries of Spain. Catalan peasants, who were forced to quarter Castilian troops, responded on Corpus Christi day, May 1640, with an uprising known as 'Bloody Corpus' (Catalan: Corpus de Sang), under the slogans "Long live the faith of Christ!", "Long live the land, death to bad government". This 'Bloody Corpus' which began with the death of a reaper (Catalan: segador), and led to the somewhat mysterious death of Dalmau de Queralt, Count of Santa Coloma and Spanish viceroy of Catalonia, marked the beginning of the conflict. The irregular militia involved were known as 'Miquelets'. The situation took Olivares by surprise, with most of the Spanish army fighting on other fronts far from Catalonia.
