It really hasn’t been particularly peaceful.

The last dictatorship was in the 1970s? The last World War the 40s? The US might have had a civil war but it went in and came out the other side with the same borders, government, and constitution. Still going strong since the 18th century.

The person you are responding to was talking about the EU. It did not exist in the 40s and Spain wasn't a part of it til the 80s. You are really bringing the level of discourse down.
