OpenHistoricalMap/Projects/Spanish Empire

The Spanish Empire started in 1492 with the voyages of Columbus. It lost most of it's territories in 1898 during the Spanish-American War. The Spanish Empire was dissolved with the loss of Spanish Sahara in 1976.

Spanish admin levels are weird. I will map viceroyalties, captaincy generals and colonies as admin_level=2 even though they overlap sometimes. Because for example in the Viceroyalty of New Spain you had a few kingdoms like Nueva Galicia and Reino de Mexico and then other places were provinces which I'll tag admin_level=4 and then you had the regional commander known as the viceroy that was in charge over them all.

Tagging should include empire=spanish and border_type=*, which can then be queried with these queries...

[out:json][timeout:25];

nwr["empire"="spanish"]["border_type"="province"];

out geom;

Border types are

• captaincy_general
• colony
• duchy
• governorate
• intendancy
• kingdom
• mayoralty
• province
• viceroyalty
  

Status: mapping finished, but n eed to add empire= and border_type= tags.
