<p>“Evaluate the maxim “Leadership determines the fate of a country” in terms of Spain’s experience under Phillip II.”</p>
<p>The essay is due tomorrow and I’m not sure what to write. I am definitely going to write about the Spanish inquisition and how it hurt commerce and how he drained the country’s wealth by trying to halt the Reformation. Conquest of Portugal, organization of the nobles into a bureaucracy as well as the revolts of the Netherlands. Am I missing anything?</p>
