This also explains why there is such a huge population in the country of Spain. Spain had an estimate of about 31/2 million people who lived in Spain that had permanently left to Latin America.On the other hand, Spain signs a treaty to join Europe called the Treaty of Adherence. Then, suddenly Spain had a big increase in immigrants.
