Francisco Pizarro (c. 1475–June 26, 1541) was a Spanish conquistador, conqueror of the Inca Empire and founder of the city of Lima, the modern-day capital of Peru. Pizarro was born in Trujillo, (Extremadura), Spain. Sources differ in the birth year they assign to him: 1471, 1475-1478, or unknown. He was an illegitimate son of Gonzalo Pizarro (senior) who as colonel of infantry afterwards served in Italy under Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, and in Navarre, with some distinction. Francisco was the eldest brother of Gonzalo Pizarro (junior), Juan Pizarro, and Hernando Pizarro. He was the second cousin of Hernán Cortés, the Conquistador of Mexico. (There was another Francisco Pizarro who travelled with Cortés on his journeys.)\n\nPizarro's parents never married each other when he was little. His father was a royal captain of infantry and so he never saw much of him. He was cared for by his mother's family but he appears to have been poorly cared for, and his education was neglected, leaving him illiterate. He was in Seville shortly after news of the discovery of the New World reached Spain. He sailed to the New World in 1502, landing in the West Indies and lived on the island of Hispaniola, where he took part in various Spanish missions of exploration and conquest. He is heard of in 1510 as having taken part in an expedition from Hispaniola to Urab under Alonso de Ojeda, by whom he was entrusted with charge of the unfortunate settlement at San Sebastián. In 1513, Pizarro accompanied Vasco Núñez de Balboa (whom he later helped to bring to the executioner's block) in his crossing of the Isthmus of Panama to discover the Pacific and to establish a settlement at Darién, Panama. He also received a repartimiento under Pedro Arias de Ávila (Pedrarias), and became a cattle-farmer at Panama.

Emilio Botin\n\nSpain's richest man faces pension fraud trial  \n \n26 January 2005\n\nMADRID-Dressed in a sobre suit and with his trademark red Banco Santander tie, Spain's richest man Emilio Botin arrived in court to face trial over alleged pension provision irregularities.\n\nBotin, head of Spain's largest bank Banco Santander Central Hispano (SCH) and one of Europe's most powerful banking figures, has been described in his own country as "the emperor of banking".\n\nLast year's acquisition by SCH of Britain's Abbey National for a total of EUR 13.19 billion (USD 17.12 billion) turned Spain's main player into the world's tenth-largest bank as the emperor set his sights firmly on the global stage.\n\nThe 70-year-old, born in the northern coastal city of  \n \nSantander, is the scion of a true banking dynasty stretching across four generations with the move for Abbey proving a veritable coup.\n\nThe balding but bushy-eye-browed Botin, who is almost never to be seen without his Santander-logo red tie, is the unquestioned master of all he surveys at the bank, which employs more than 100,000 people and which has a strong Latin American presence as well as 11 European countries.\n\n"He is a very ambitious man, slow to trust anyone and whose decisions nobody at the bank dares to call into question," says a union source with close knowledge of how Botin's world works.\n\n"He lives for the bank 24 hours a day and can call up a director general at any hour," says the source, who additionally reveals that one of Botin's maxims is "devour them before they devour you."\n\nBotin has amassed one of the largest fortunes in Spain and his family owns 1.77 percent of SCH, now the number one bank in the euro zone by market capitalisation since adding Abbey to its portfolio.\n\nA law and economics graduate, Botin joined the bank at 24, working under the watchful eye of his father.\n\nIn 1986 he took the reins himself with the bank at that time ranked seven in Spain.\n\nHe quickly made his presence and eye for a deal felt, launching a revolutionary account in September 1989, the "Supercuenta," a deposit account paying 11 percent. As a result, SCH saw its market share rise by 50 percent.\n\nSoon afterwards, taking his cue from his love of Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu's Art of War-generally recognised as the oldest military treatise in the world -- Botin set off in search of the banking conquest of South America.\n\nIn recent years, SCH has under Botin's stewardship invested more than EUR 17 bn euros in Latin America, a sum unmatched by any other bank.\n\nBotin, as keen to get in a round of golf as he is to fly round the world on his private jet, turned to domestic prey in 1994 with the purchase of Banesto bank, an acquisition which vaulted Santander into top spot in the Spanish sector.\n\nFive years later, he sprang a surprise in announcing the merger of Santander with Banco Central Hispano (BCH) in the then largest deal of its kind in Spain.\n\nFor two-and-a-half years he would share the chairman's post with BCH chairman Jose Maria Amusategui, who in 2001 took early retirement, seemingly the loser in a battle for supremacy with Botin.\n\nIn line with family tradition Botin has been able to swim with the political tide in all directions.\n\nClose to former conservative prime minister Jose Maria Aznar he has since managed to broker good relations with Socialist Jose Luis Rodrigez Zapatero, elected last April.\n\nIn Brazil, a key SCH market in Latin America, he has spoken fervently in favour of leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.\n\nBotin tends to leave mundane visits and cultural gatherings alike to his wife of Irish descent, Paloma O'Shea, who has for the past 15 years organised an international piano competition.\n\nBotin is a father of six, with daughter Ana Patricia notably the president of Banesto, one of the jewels in the

I guess you could say that the Philippines was discovered by Ferdinand Magellen but the Philippines was named after Philip II (Spanish: Felipe II de Habsburgo; Portuguese: Filipe I) (May 21, 1527 – September 13, 1598), known to some historians by the indelicate nickname "Philip the Sap", was the first official King of Spain from 1556 until 1598, king of Naples and Sicily from 1554 until 1558, King of England (co-regent with Mary I) from 1554 to 1558, King of Portugal and the Algarves (as Philip I) from 1580 until 1598 and King of Chile from 1554 until 1556. He was born at Valladolid and was the only legitimate son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Isabella, the daughter of king Manuel I of Portugal, to survive childhood.

Franco was a dictator, whose regim is now called "national catholic" (because some of its caracteristics are different from fascism). I can´t agree with people who find anything good in what he did (he was antidemocratic and made thousands of people die).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Franco

Francisco Franco (1892-1975), Spanish military leader who rose to power during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and went on to rule Spain as dictator from 1939 until 1975. Franco has inspired highly contradictory opinions about his role in history. His defenders have viewed him as modern Spain's most distinguished statesman, arguing that he was responsible not only for saving Spain during a bitter civil war but also for steering the country towards peace and prosperity. His critics have painted a much darker portrait of him—as an opponent of democracy, as a comrade of German dictator Adolf Hitler and Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini during World War II (1939-1945), and as a despotic ruler of Spain for nearly 40 years. Born in the northwestern Iberian coastal town of El Ferrol, Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco Bahamonde was the second son of a father who was a naval paymaster and a mother who was a devout Catholic. Due to her husband’s long absences, Franco’s mother took on many of the duties of rearing Francisco, his two brothers, and his sister. Her influence over the young Francisco was particularly profound, especially as a moral and intellectual guide.\n\nFranco wanted to follow a family tradition by pursuing a career in the navy, but government cutbacks in the size of the naval officer corps pushed him in another direction. At age 14, he gained admission to Spain's premier military institution, the Infantry Academy at Toledo. For the next three years Franco acquired the skills then considered essential to a Spanish officer; apart from fencing, riding, and shooting, he spent long hours in the classroom absorbing the lessons of war theorists such as Prussian Karl von Clausewitz. Upon graduating in 1910, the 17-year-old Franco received his commission as a second lieutenant.\n\nFranco grew up during a time when his country was experiencing a series of major crises. Foremost among them was Spain’s humiliating defeat in the Spanish-American War (1898). As a result, Spain lost the remnants of its once-global empire, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Such a profound blow to national pride prompted many Spaniards to blame the government for Spain’s rapid decline in world prestige.

Sorry this is not a question.  Please rephrase so we can figure out what it is that you want to know.  I hope this helps you.\n\nJohann Christian Andreas Doppler (November 29, 1803 in – March 17, 1853) was an Austrian mathematician and physicist, most famous for the hypothesis of what is now known as the Doppler effect which causes the frequency of a wave to apparently change as its source moves toward or away from the observer.
