History Of The Basque People
The Basques ( eu, Euskaldunak) are an indigenous ethno-linguistic group mainly inhabiting Basque Country (adjacent areas of Spain and France). Their history is therefore interconnected with Spanish and French history and also with the history of many other past and present countries, particularly in Europe and the Americas, where a large number of their descendants keep attached to their roots, clustering around Basque clubs which are centers for Basque people. Origins First historical references In the 1st century, Strabo wrote that the northern parts of what are now Navarre (''Nafarroa'' in Basque) and Aragon were inhabited by the Vascones. Despite the evident etymological connection between ''Vascones'' and the modern denomination ''Basque'', there is no direct proof that the Vascones were the modern Basques' ancestors or spoke the language that has evolved into modern Basque, although this is strongly suggested both by the historically consistent toponymy of the area ...
