I see why you ask, it is a complex sentence. The verbs are:
"To become" (infinitive form) and "spans" (meaning "covers").
This is a figurative use of spans - you talk about the span of a bridge or the span of an era in history. "Queen Elisabeth's reign spanned from the 1953 to 2022" Or "Her reign was the longest span of any of the Monarch."
You are welcome to ask about the other words in the sentence; it think this is called a compound-complex sentence (for good reason).
