History
As a reward for the bravery of the inhabitants during the fight against the Moors, Charlemagne granted Andorra civic rights. Then it became a fief of the Counts of Urgell, and finally in 1133 it came under the rule of the bishop of La Seu d'Urgell. In the 12th century it was the subject of a dispute between the bishops and their French neighbors in the north, the Counts of Foix. In 1278, the conflict was resolved - under the agreement, the bishop and the count became co-ordinates. Andorra, on the other hand, undertook to pay tribute to both sides: bishops of Urgell in the amount of 460 pesetas a year, counts of Foix in the amount of 960 francs a year [6]. In 1419, at the request of the people of Andorra, a local parliament called the Territorial Council (Consell de la Terra), later transformed into a General Council (Consell General). In 1607, King Henry IV, Count Foix, issued an edict transferring his rights to co-rule Andorra to the French ruler.
In the period 1812-1813, the French Empire took Catalonia and divided it into four departments. Then Andorra became part of one of them (départament de Sègre). In 1933, France occupied Andorra in the face of social unrest before the elections.
On July 12, 1934, the Russian adventurer Boris M. Skosyriev declared himself Boris I, the independent prince of Andorra, simultaneously declaring war against the bishop of Urgel. On July 20, he was arrested by the Spanish police and expelled from Spain. In 1936-1940, a French garrison was stationed in Andorra to counteract the influence of the Spanish Civil War.
During World War II, Andorra remained neutral, but it was not until 1958 that it declared peace with Germany after World War I (1914-1918), with whom it was in a state of formal war, which was omitted in the Treaty of Versailles. Left in a state of isolation, Andorra was somewhat outside the mainstream of European history. In recent times, thanks to flourishing tourism and the development of transport, it managed to break out of this isolation and completely change its political system in 1993, when it became a member of the United Nations.
