Guadalupe Carrasco González
(Universidad de Cádiz, Spain)
Abstract: The Mare Nostrum was the frontier between the two great monotheistic religions and with the passage of time was similarly the frontier between two empires: the Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Spain. We shall see through the course of this article how the Northern political structures grew and how other European states gradually came to intervene in the Mediterranean.
Key words: Mediterranean Sea, Islamic world, confrontation, Morisco, Ottoman Empire, Hispanic Monarchy, 16-18th centuries.
