Spanish Empire

Japanese: スペイン帝国 - スペインていこく
Spanish Empire
Generally, it refers to Spain from the 16th century to the first half of the 17th century, when the country dominated Europe, America, and Asia, and was on a par with the great powers of Western Europe. From the perspective of cultural history, this period is called the Golden Age of Spain, Siglo de Oro. The term "Spanish Empire" was created later, and the Spanish kings at the time commonly referred to their own territories as the Catholic Kingdom, Monarquía católica. Furthermore, if we interpret "empire" as the governance of lands and their inhabitants outside of the Spanish Empire's own territory, the "Spanish Empire" lasted until 1898.

Japanese:
一般に16世紀から17世紀前半にかけて,ヨーロッパ,アメリカ,アジアの諸地域を支配し,かつ西ヨーロッパの列強に伍したころのスペインを指す。そして文化史の視点からは,この時代はスペインの黄金の世紀Siglo de Oroと呼ばれる。なお,〈スペイン帝国〉とは後世に造られた呼称であって,当時のスペイン王は自分の版図をカトリック王国Monarquía católicaと呼び慣らわした。さらに自国領以外の土地およびその住民に対する統治行為の意味に〈帝国〉を解するならば,〈スペイン帝国〉は1898年まで続いた。
