Indeed, Spain was once the richest nation in Europe. It had America and the gold kept piling in. Spain was the Financial Capital of the Western World at that time. Even the main currency in the United States prior to the Revolution as Spanish dollars. Here is a private note from the Exchange Office in Mississippi. Note that they picture a US dollar as well as Spanish dollars. The US adopted the Spanish monetary system because it was the Financial Capital of the Western World at that time.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Spanish_Inquisition_Torture.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-80699 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Spanish_Inquisition_Torture-1024x760.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Spanish_Inquisition_Torture-1024x760.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Spanish_Inquisition_Torture-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Spanish_Inquisition_Torture-768x570.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Spanish_Inquisition_Torture-600x445.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Spanish_Inquisition_Torture.jpg 1280w\" alt=\"\" width=\"671\" height=\"498\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Spanish Inquisition was even rejected by the Pope. It was being used for political purposes not unlike how they are using COVID today. They would torture and confiscate the property of especially Jews and Muslims. What they too succeeded in doing was driving the jews out of Spain. Where did they go? They migrated to Amsterdam and in the process, they began banking and the first insurance companies. It was the English who copied the \u201cDutch\u201d which were really the Jews at that time who even created the first stock exchange \u2013 the bourse.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Wisselbank-Book-Amsterdam.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129185 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Wisselbank-Book-Amsterdam.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Wisselbank-Book-Amsterdam.jpg 521w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Wisselbank-Book-Amsterdam-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Wisselbank-Book-Amsterdam-300x409.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"521\" height=\"710\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was the Sephardi Jews from the Iberian Peninsula who had been expelled from Spain in 1492 after the fall of Muslim Granada. There were some who first migrated to Portugal. However, they too were forced to leave in 1497. The crown was using religion for-profit and the Jews were given the choice between conversion to Catholicism or suffer the death penalty on the grounds of heresy.
