Topic Reading-Vol.230-11/27/2012

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Catalonia's fight for independence: Are there lessons from the Dutch revolt?
You can always learn from history, especially the ones in your own country or culture. Catalonia, best known apart from the capital, Barcelona, is of course the Mediterranean coast with a population of approximately seven and a half million, represents the one fifth of Spain’s total economy. People in Catalonia feel unheard by the leaders and politicians in Madrid. They also feel overtaxed and unfairly treated. There has been a move to become independent from Spain and there are things people can learn from history, especially the one of their country.
Enjoy reading and learning about Spain’s history of ruling its territories.
