| Summary | "A Short History of Spain" by Mary Platt Parmele is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide a succinct narrative of Spain's rich and complex past, exploring its significant events and cultures that have shaped the nation. The book begins by examining the early inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula and traces the influences of various civilizations, including the Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the Iberian Peninsula, noting its geographical features and early inhabitants, particularly the Iberians and Basques. Parmele emphasizes the historical import of the region, detailing the arrival of the more warlike Kelts, which led to the formation of the Keltiberian culture. The text hints at the material wealth of the Peninsula that attracted various ancient civilizations, setting the stage for a rich story of conquest, cultural exchange, and transformation that would intertwine these early peoples with the illustrious history of Spain.
