[1] The identification of a unified Hispanian cultural heritage both encompassing Portugal and Spain had been developed centuries earlier with the publishing of Juan de Mariana's History of Spain (1598), in which Mariana supported a Hispanian identity based on the Reconquista, on both countries' Roman-Visigothic heritage and their common Catholic and monarchical polities.[2] During the Spanish Civil War, the Carlists and the Falange (prior to the two parties' unification in 1937) both promoted the incorporation of Portugal into Spain.[4] After the victory of the Nationalist faction led by Francisco Franco in the Civil War, radical members of the Falange called for the incorporation of Portugal and the French Pyrenees into Spain.[9] Rodolfo Gil Benumeya traced the links back to the Neolithic Era, pointing to a common Ibero-Berber people living on both sides of the Strait.[10] Gil Benumeya and Hernández Pacheco stressed the strengthening of those links due to Morocco once being "Mauritania Tingitana", part of the Roman Diocese of Hispania.
