My Argentine Eurocho* friend visits us today to talk about   1. Demographic history of Hispanoamerica 2. The way Spanish society changed as the Empire declined 3. The Spanish Civil War (and post 1800s Spain in general) 4. Franco, the good and the bad 5. Catalonia and its nationalism   Think of it as the Peninsula episode tbh   Also, other things we'll talk about in general. -the timeline of post-imperial America vs post-imperial Peninsula -the Brazilian/Portuguese question   *raised in the Peninsula
