Catalonia became part of Spain in the late 15th century during the unification of the Crown of Aragon and the Crown of Castile through the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in 1469. However, Catalonia retained a significant degree of autonomy until the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714), after which the Nueva Planta decrees in 1716 effectively centralized Spanish authority and diminished Catalan self-governance.
