 | | Philip was a devout Catholic and took personal responsibility for his actions, but his devotion to the Counter-Reformation was to ensure that regardless of how many victories Spain's forces would win the country would be constantly drained of resources in the Habsburg's futile attempt to turn back the clock on religion. | | | Western Christendom would remain rent in two and in the end it was Christianity itself that would be undermined, but this would be long after his reign. | | | The socially marginalised Morisos had fallen on hard times since the end of Arab rule in Granada in 1492, and were mostly engaged in unskilled work. |

| | Spain - THE GOLDEN AGE - Ferdinand and Isabella |
| | After 1525 all residents of Spain were officially Christian, but forced conversion and nominal orthodoxy were not sufficient for complete integration into Spanish society. | | | The incident led to mass expulsions throughout Spain and to the eventual exodus of hundreds of thousands of Conversos and Moriscos, even those who had apparently become devout Christians. | | | Purity of blood (pureza de sangre) regulations were imposed on candidates for positions in the government and the church, to prevent Moriscos from becoming a force again in Spain and to eliminate participation by Conversos whose families might have been Christian for generations. |

| | On August 15, 1761, a secret convention was concluded between France and Spain, under which Spain engaged to declare war against England in May, 1762. | | | He had planned an expedition against Havana and the Philippine Islands, where no adequate resistance could have been made; and, had he remained in office, there is but little doubt that the most precious possessions of Spain in the New World would have been incorporated in the British Empire. | | | He saw that instant steps should be taken to meet the danger, and proposed at a Cabinet held on October 2 that war should be declared against Spain. |
