Yes Diksha,
I'd like to know a few things, Spanish history seems quite complicated - a LOT of civil wars, Carlists, first Republic, second Republic etc. Maybe you can precis the history for us since (say) 1800?
Thank you in advance!

Hey there hangoverocks 
Diksha is one of the Moderators and Admin team of Expat.com. The team ask these questions to keep the forums such as this one Spain flowing. So you will not get a reply from her as she is no expert in Spain. I do recomend that you start a new topic off and members will surely reposnd to it, as this was just for fun.
