  1.  @harrydean5603  No. The Cortes of León (Spain) or Decreta of León from year 1188 was a parliamentary body in the medieval Kingdom of León. According to UNESCO it is the first documented example of parliamentarism in history.

  2.  @doctorasmaakhatab9011  The muslims translated the ancient greeks and romans texts because they where camel sons before that, then Alfonso X the Wise created the School of translators of Toledo. This way Europe was alphabetized for second time from Spain, first from the Spanish legions.

  3.  @harrydean5603  I know, check if we are talking about a European parliamentary system. Even so, the Isle of Man is ahead of you, which is not recognized as such either.

  5. You didn't expect it, why? It lasted longer in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials. The reality of the Spanish Inquisition is far from what you have seen in movies. The Protestant, Calvinist, Lutheran and Anglican inquisitions were bloody. The Spanish Inquisition was born as an arbitration and educational system to avoid false converts after the Reconquista and due to the numerous deviations that existed in the cult, etc. It also ended popular witch hunts, which had burned women since pre-Roman times, for example. In fact it was a very popular and loved organ in Spain and its Empire. People preferred to say that they were heretics to be judged by the Inquisition (not the Indians, they could not be judged by it), because the procedures and sentences of the civil courts were worse than those of the Church. Very few sentences ended in death after 4 centuries. Furthermore, the Inquisition promoted the studies of new scientific trends.
