The area in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, stretching from the western end of the Pyrenees to the eastern Cantabrian Mountains. It includes the three Spanish provinces (Álava, Guipúzcoa, and Biscay) that face the Bay of Biscay, the region of Navarre, and part of the French department of Bas-Pyrénées. Basque is the French name, and is called Vasco in Spanish and Euskadi in Vasco. Agriculture, forestry, and dairy farming are practiced here. Iron ore is produced here. It is one of the leading industrial areas in Spain, and finance and commerce are also active. The Basque people maintained their independence under ancient Roman rule, and resisted invasions by the Visigoths and the Franks. The Basque people's desire for independence led to the formation of the Basque National Party (PNV, founded in 1895) and the Basque Homeland and Freedom (ETA, founded in 1959), and their movement led to autonomy in 1979. There is also a movement to promote the Basque language, which was banned under the Franco regime. → Related topics Spain | Basque people | Bilbao | Ethnic sports | Regionalism Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
