Hello! During the Spain Golden Age, which was between the 16th and 17th centuries, the empire was based upon the mutual support of the Catholic church. Besides that, it's true to say that Spain became one of the greatest commercial power in Europe, with a centralized government, but it's wrong to say that the country turns on in a industrial potency, once there is no industry in early 17th. So, the incorrect one is: Spain became a leading commercial and industrial power in Europe. Hugs!

Kalahira · Answer

The incorrect statement regarding Spain's Golden Age is that it became a leading commercial and industrial power in Europe. Spain's economy during this time was more focused on resource extraction and agriculture rather than industrial growth. The correct points are the empire expansion, centralized governance, and strong support for the Catholic Church.
