I do not think the basque country should split since Spain is made up of different regions like Catalonia,Andalusia,and the rest they keep their unique identity and they are still part of Spain and indeed,the basque country has been an very important part of the country's history and present life.We can all be united and still maintain our roots like our language and traditions.

What is the issue with Spain's Basque people?
Economic, linguistic, political and social concerns are the issues of Spain's Basque people.Specifically, the Basque people aspire to cultural survival within a country whose people they do and do not resemble. They feel that the revenues and taxes which were generated and imposed during the years of Spain's control by General Francisco Franco y Bahamonde (1892-1975) were not used to their advancement or benefit. They had to fight to keep their language alive during those years since the national government considered languages other than Spanish - such as Basque and Catalan - the "language of dogs". They know that administrative and elected officials tend to favor and represent non-Basque interests since the four Basque-speaking provinces are a minority in the population of the Iberian peninsula and its islands. They want to make sure that their society which is strong on family and small-scale enterprises endures despite the general tendency - in Spain and elsewhere in the world - towards industrialization, modernization and standardization.

France and Spain are the countries from which the Basque people wanted their freedom.Specifically, the Basque live predominantly in seven provinces which straddle both sides of southwest France's border with northwest Spain. They may share such economic activities as farming, fishing, small-scale business, and tourism with their French and Spanish neighbors. But they speak a language which is not at all related to French and Spanish. They therefore worry about losing their cultural and linguistic identities in two countries with little else in common other than geography and religion.
