==Madrid is Spain's capitol. However, it does not benefit Spain in any geographical or historical way. It does not provide any benefits from geography because it is at the worst site for agriculture and it is in desert area. Historically, it had many religious and ethnic conflicts, which would make it less likely to become Spain's capitol. The only reason as to why it is recognized as the capitol of Spain is because during ancient times, Spanish king Philip II chose it because it was the only place that was not connected to an established, nonroyal power. Spain was currently struggling with becoming a democracy and staying a democracy during this time so being made capitol, Madrid helped Spain become the democracy it is today.==
