As time entered the year 1871, one matter caught the attention of the Spaniards and many European Royal Families: the marriage of King Carlo of Spain.
Now that Carlo has firmly established himself on the throne of Spain and is about to turn 20, he is at the age when European nobles start discussing marriage prospects.
As the King of Spain and a member of the Savoy Dynasty, many European royal families are eager to form a matrimonial alliance with the Spanish Royal Family, including those of major powers.
Firstly, Spain's geographic location is indeed crucial, and secondly, Spain's overall national strength is considerable, ranking in the first tier below the major powers.
Moreover, Carlo is the son of King Vittorio Emanuele II of Italy, so forming a matrimonial alliance with the Spanish Royal Family is effectively forming one with the Italian Royal Family.
