Spain (Vegetarian World)

Spain is located in on the Iberian Peninsula. It borders on its east,  on its west, and  to the northeast. The area now known as Spain was previously composed of many kingdoms, but most were incorporated over time (through peaceful unification) to form one nation. In the south, before the late 1400s, there was a Muslim state known as Al Andalus. The Spanish kingdoms eventually conquered Al Andalus, but after decades of mistreatment, there was a revolt, and the nation of Andalusia was formed. However, Andalusia was eventually reincorporated into Spain through the "Treaty of Granada", which established the rights of religious minorities (the Muslims and Jews). Currently, Spain has the largest Muslim population (and percentage) of any Western European nation. Spain played a huge role in colonization efforts, including the "Spanish Crusades" waged in northern Africa, as well as in the New World and across the globe. Spanish hegemony came to an end as England, France, and other European nations gained power, but monuments to Spain's successes are still to be found not only in Spain itself, but in its former territories, too.
