The important thing about the conquest of America is not that they were the first to arrive, but that their arrival brought about a real change in the world.

The eagle in the facist flag actually comes from the catholic kings (Reyes catolicos) not from other facist regimes

Failures:

1: The purple band is for the "Comuneros" of Castille banner, that was thought to be purple (Today we know it was red), anyways it is still used as a protest flag.
2: The origins of the flag of aragon was the inspiration of the current flag, so you should search that, being a very nice and epic story.
3: The eagle of Franco is the eagle of San Juan, taking back the symbols of Elisabeth and Ferdinand (Also the symbols of the bottom).
4: Gibraltar may be under british rule, but is still claimed by Spain. Also the UN consider Gibraltar as a Non-self-governing territories, so a few years from now It will be back in Spain or become an independent country.

0:43 The reason for the golden and red colors is simple and logical: they made the flag much more visible between ships at long distances at sea. Pretty useful for a seafaring culture such as the Spanish.

It must be pointed out that the town of Gibraltar was never included in the Treaty of Utrecht (only the rock was) and that these 30000 British citizens statement is a consequence of unilateral illegal action by Britain, if one is accurate.

You did not include the Canary Islands, Ceuta or Melilla in the map.

Gibraltar was given to the British by the French. If I remember correctly, they tried to take more land and Spain beat them out of all of it but the land they owed them. I noticed that in history, Spain almost always beats Britain, which is why England doesn't talk about them very much and instead focuses on France. Save for the armada, but they change the story so much, it no longer means anything. And Granada was mostly Christian by the 1300's. It remain as a vassal state. It was kinda fake.

The pillars with the words: "plus ultra" means the territories that where beyond the cape of Finisterre, in Galicia, where Hercules put the pillars as a symbol of the end of the world, in other words, mean the American discover, not Gibraltar.
