What reading level is Spain, Its Greatness And Decay (1479-1788) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seemed impossible that Spain could fall lower than this. Utterly beggared now, scornfully taken up and betrayed, as it suited them, by Holland and England ; obliged to accept, almost without question, the terms dictated by its enemies \ with its young rival Louis XIV growing daily in power, riches, and splendour, Spain had not even yet fully learnt the bitter lesson taught by so many cruel calamities. The tradition of pride and universal superiority was still persevered in. The questions of ...precedence and etiquette were not by any means the least difficult points in the conclusion of peace, whilst in Spain itself the overwhelm- ing grandeur and wealth of its own monarch continued to be an article of national faith \ and his clemency in letting his enemies off so easily a matter for admiring congratulation upon his magnanimity.
CHAPTER XI.
CHARLES II, 1675—1700.
The canker of favouritism had eaten too deeply into the political system of Spain to be eliminated, except by a monarch of far greater genius and force than Mariana.
