How was the colonial status of Spain, once the world hegemon, replaced by Britain step by step?

Spain at that time can be said to have won Britain at the beginning of the last century and was a prosperous Spain. Spain accounts for the vast majority of the world's gold and silver development, but such luxurious materials have not benefited the people, nor have they developed their own military strength, but have been used by the royal family for various extravagant consumption.

/kloc-In the 5th century, after the success of the campaign to recover lost territory, Spain quickly went overseas to expand Zhang Zhilu, constantly expanding its own colonies, and provided itself with abundant raw material production and market demand. /kloc-In the 6th century, Spain and Portugal were pioneers of geographical discovery and colonial expansion, and opened up trade routes in major oceans, and their trade flourished. Spain crossed the Atlantic to America, Mexico to the Pacific, and the Philippines to East Asia. Spanish conquerors overthrew the Aztec, Inca and Mayan civilizations and claimed sovereignty over large areas of North and South America.

Spain is prosperous, its influence in Europe is expanding rapidly, and it gradually dominates Europe, occupying a large territory and expanding its sphere of influence in Europe. During the period of Carlos I, the Spanish throne and the Holy Roman Empire merged into one, which made Spain's influence in Europe increase rapidly. Carlos I defeated or killed the most powerful enemies, France and the Ottoman Empire, and Spain began to dominate Europe. This is manifested in the battle of Pavia, the capture of the French king, the robbery of Rome, and the establishment of Spain's hegemonic position in western and southern Europe.

The prosperity of Spain is also a great wealth to Britain, France and other countries, because the Spanish royal family will spend most of its materials on luxury goods in Britain and other countries, which will promote the development of Britain and other countries. Britain pays attention to the development of military industry, and then replaces Spain, which is called the empire that never falls.
