The origins of Valencia date back to the former Kingdom of Valencia, which came into existence in the 13th century. James I "the Conqueror" led Catalan and Aragonese colonization of the Islamic taifas of Valencia and Dénia. So the Kingdom of Valencia has been an independent country inside of the Aragonese crown confederation until 1707, when the first Bourbon king of Castile and Aragon forbiden the constitution, language, institutions and laws of these kingdoms and subordinate them to Castilian structure creating the centralized Kingdom of Spain de facto. The first attempt to gain self-government for Valencian Country in modern-day Spain was during the 2nd Spanish Republic, in 1936 year, but the Civil War broke out and the Valencian autonomist project was suspended. Recently, Valencia is officially recognized as a nationality, after a bipartisan reform of the Valencian statute of autonomy.
