I paid $1.69 for my Snack Size McFlurry (a full ten cents cheaper than the $1.79 charged at my local McDonald's).
What were four reasons for the decline of Spain as a world power? Spain's power began to decline because of the defeat of the Spanish Armada, influx in gold/silver income, much fighting over wealth and losing the battles, and not many coloni â¦ es or vice-royalties to rely on for agricultural income.
1659 is the year of the Peace of the Pyrenees which showed up Spain's great weakness relative to its chief opponent of the time, France. Now to the possible causes. First of all, your teacher had two good points. I'll try to expound on them and also on what I think are other possible causes of Spanish decline. One must bear in mind, however, that no one cause can be singled out as the cardinal reason for decline; rather, it was a combination, often mutually reinforcing, of these causes that brought Spain down.
