In that quote he is saying that when Spain gets up and decides to make a move, the entire world is scared and waits to see what will happen. He is insinuating that Spain is a leader, and really controls the entire world. Queen Elizabeth I would probably call him on this, laugh at it, because Spain has been defeated.

1.Romulus and Remus & Aeneas 2. Romulus was descendant of Dardanian or Trojan hero, Aeneas, one of two surviving leaders to escape the fall of Troy 3.& 4. The patricians and plebeians had united in their efforts to drive out the kings; but when the struggle against the kingship was ended, the chief fruits of the victory fell to the patricians. The plebeians could, it is true, still vote in the comitia centuriata; but they could not hold any of the new offices, nor could they sit in the senate. Rome became a republic, but it was an aristocratic, and not a democratic republic; that is, the chief power rested not in the whole people, but in a particular class. The plebeians might perhaps have submitted to the government of the patricians, if it had not been exercised in a selfish and oppressive manner. But the patrician rule proved to be as despotic as that of the kings; and a long and fierce struggle ensued between the two orders. As the patricians were generally more wealthy than the plebeians, the conflict became at first a struggle between the rich and the poor, a contest for a more equal distribution of wealth. 5. Italy's location favored it in two ways. It had a strategic position that divided the Mediterranean into western and eastern halves. Also, it was far enough away from the older civilizations of antiquity to allow it to develop on its own without too much outside interference. Therefore, once Italy was unified, its geographic position allowed Rome to unite the Mediterranean under its rule. 6. Senate, the consuls and the Assemblies.

The Babylonian Captivity period split the Catholic Church, with two different people claiming to be the rightful Pope at the same time. This obviously weakens the claim of the Pope being the main representative of God on Earth. The captivity you are referring to, lasted from 1309 to 1378, when the Popes were briefly living in Avignon, France. When the sitting Pope moved back to Rome in 1378, it created a great schism, as a council of cardinals elected two more successive antipopes in Avignon. The Italians didn't like it, and placed a different person on the Papal throne in Rome. This problem lasted until 1417, when a big meeting was held to clarify who was the Pope, although the last Avignon Pope had already been expelled from Avignon in 1403. Go to your information search window, and type in "Avignon Papacy" Choose the wikipedia site, for easier reading. Good luck with your studies, and have a star!

Help with history Homework?? MIDDLE AGES?
With the beginning of the Middle Ages, most of the European monarchs began to transform from simple chieftains and feudal lords to develop the idea of Absolute monarchy. But to do this they had to do several things. The king had to control his nobles. To many nobles, a king was just another noble that everyone agreed was in charge and to resolve disputes amongst his nobles. So the king, to keep his power had to conslidate his power. To consolidate his power the king disbanded many of the private armies of his nobles. Most feudal kings relied on the nobles to provide soldiers, usually common farmers that worked the land for the nobles or the estates of the king and church. But with the middle ages, we see the professional development of armies, employed by the state. We also see the king taking control of the finances. Usually the feudal system had farmers working lands, nobles paying loyalty to the king and money raised stayed in the hands of the landowning nobles and the church - leaving the king very dependant on the nobles for money and support - unless the king had an income himself in estates. A change happens when medieval kings move away from this system to make themselves independent of the church and the nobles - the king starts to develop much more efficient ways of receiving income thru levying of taxes to pay for development of armies. The centralisation of income raising from nobles to the king also provides for the greater wealth of the king - which in turn allows the king to build monuments and castles - a show of his true power. The king consolidates his power also in building alliances thru marriages with other royal families. England and France as well as Germany intermarry. This allows the king to not only have alliances with other countries, but thru marriages children and possibly an heir is born - further consolidating royal power by allowing the king to pass his power on to his own family - his own sons. By consolidating his power, the king can keep his nobles and the powerful Catholic church in check - at a time when the state and the Church are arguing over who really rules.
