You see?
I know that's not true, so you don't bother me. You probably don't know any Spanish history either.

we are taught about history where it has affected the course of civilisation
unfortunately Spain hasn't contributed much so we haven't been taught about it.

You clearly haven't studied any history at all
I pity you.

I can see you're still upset and talking stupid things
Because the British never had a war or kill anyone, did they? You're just using that to try to upset me, as you're taking this personally, when I'm trying to have a constructive discussion about politics.

If you're going to go that way, I say our conversation is finished.

I know
Mine was a half joke too... I know you know more than that because we've talked before.

I actually know very little of Spanish history
other than a little of the early 20 century stuff. Just not something we were taught, and other than taking a bit of interest in very specific periods and places, I've not really studied any since school.

I'm well aware that Catalonia is a part of Spain
because as you're Spanish, and Gary Lineker is not, I assume that you're right.

See where I'm going with this?

Yes, but have you lived in Spain?
I'm saying that you can call yourselves a country, but what I see everyday is that you aren't. You can't move your finger without having to agree with Wales and Scotland; not on the big things, not on the small. As I said to Vipros, call it country to stop a war, but it doesn't look like one.
