[b]Reino de España. Speech by his royal majesty King Alfonso XIII[/b]

"As we enter the 20th century it is unfortunate to see so much conflict to occur in such a short span of time, from the Boxer rebellion and the Philipine-American war in Asia, to the Colombian civil war in the Americas, and the 2nd Boer war in South Africa. These violent wars have shown that the world is not peacefully and that killing others is an addiction that cannot easily be stoped. Though even through this Spain will prevail through these tyrannical times and will survive the outburst of violence in this world that has ruined many great nations in the past.

And even through the flames of destruction we shall fight on until the end if war must come to us, but we will ensure that peace is maintained in Europe and will accomplish these things with any means necessary. I pray that these dire times come to an end and peace is restored in Asia, the Americas, And Africa."

-King Alfonso XIII 1900
