--- Quote from: LeeC on 31 Mar 2017, 20:22 ---I learned that Spain has a Constitutional Monarchy (like the UK) of the Bourbon dynasty (established after the Spanish War of Succession in 1714). I always thought they were a democratic republic of sorts. I also learned that the French Bourbon dynasty still exists (always thought they died out). The current pretender to the throne is Louis XX and he's 28.

He's been pretending to be king for 28 years, he's 42.

Spain has been a republic twice for a combined 6 years but it never went what you'd say "well". The first republic had a new head of state every two weeks for several reasons (assassination, resignation, putting a scapegoat...) which eventually made the citizens decide that constitutional monarchy would've been a better idea and the second one devolved into a civil war and dictatorship after 5 years because that Franco dude staged a coup and shit.

It seems so obvious now but I just never knew. The division symbol is just a blank fraction. You replace the dots with numbers.
Welu:
Never noticed that!
