Question

Three of the following were true of the "Golden Age" of Spain during the 16th and early 17th centuries. Which was NOT? Spain became a leading commercial and industrial power in Europe. Spain obtained a huge empire in the Western Hemisphere. A highly centralized and autocratic state was developed. The Catholic Church was militantly supported by the government.

Answer 1

Hello! During the Spain Golden Age, which was between the 16th and 17th centuries, the empire was based upon the mutual support of the Catholic church. Besides that, it's true to say that Spain became one of the greatest commercial power in Europe, with a centralized government, but it's wrong to say that the country turns on in a industrial potency, once there is no industry in early 17th. So, the incorrect one is: Spain became a leading commercial and industrial power in Europe. Hugs!
