[edit] Summary

Political map of Spain in 1854 after the First Carlist War and the tax, legal system and military frontiers move to the Pyrenees, which resulted in the spreading of a sense of frustration among the Basques that led to another Carlist war and the subsequent birth of the modern Basque nationalism. Catalonia had two new Carlist wars.

It shows the areas where different law systems, tax frontiers and military power applied, although unified after the First Carlist War. It explains pretty well the Spanish actual affairs with both Basque Country and Catalonia.
