This is either dynamite (looking at France, but equally applicable to Spain!), or well known to historians - which I am not, though both my parents were ;-)
The cannon-fodder regions "versus" the wealth-creating regions, and all to bolster up the regime!
Plus a juicy opinion about the origin of French - Spanish enmity.

JEREC-Escamots

A dia d'avui, el tema només té un interès acadèmic: fa decennis que l'independentisme català abandonà del tot les formes militaritzants.

El 1998, a "La opinión catalana sobre Francia en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII", Ricardo Garcia Cárcel reprodueix un text "traducido de un supuesto original inglés". He pogut localitzar l'original de dos dels tres paràgrafs en qüestió... i una curiosa referència a com veuen els "castellans" els "aragonesos"!
