genie already out of bottle. france effectively wiped out catalan/basque separatism in early 20th via language policy
and of course centuries of centralizing tendency preceding. spain has a long history of trying to accommodate however
carlist wars and civil war fell along same lines, franco didn't effectively extinguish, more concessions after
