| | History of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A revived movement for the Christian unification of Spain was capitalized on by the "Catholic monarchs" (Reyes Católicos in Spanish) Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon in order to justify their invasion of Granada, the expulsion of the Jews and the forceful conversion of the Moors. | | | At the same time, the Jews of Spain were ordered on March 30, 1492 to convert to Christianity or be exiled from the country. | | | Although the juntas that had forced the French to leave Spain had sworn by the liberal Constitution of 1812, Ferdinand VII openly believed that it was too liberal for the country. |

| | Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Arabic was the official language of government, commerce and scholarship in Muslim controlled areas of Spain, and the majority of the population, including Christians and Jews, spoke it, though many were bilingual and the majority had been converted to Islam. | | | Spain is believed to have been about 8 % Jewish on the eve of the Spanish Inquisition. | | | It also had a significant effect on the upcoming elections in Spain, due in part to the ruling government's insistence that the ETA was the prime suspect in the bombings, even as the evidence of Muslim extremist terrorism rapidly emerged from the police investigation and the international press. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Spain |
| | That moral unity which the Catholic Sovereigns had restored in Spain by the expulsion of the Jews, the subjection of the Moors, and the establishment of Catholic unity, was broken by the influx of ideas from the French Revolution and English Liberalism. | | | Pombal and Choiseul had driven the Jesuits out of Portugal and France, and their enemies in Spain exploited this tumult to persuade the king that the Society was a menace to public order. | | | Only the impenitent were condemned to the stake, and the number of condemnations has been much exaggerated. |

| | Isabel and Ferdinand succeeded in uniting the whole country under their crown, and their effort to "re-christianize" Spain resulted in the Spanish Inquisition, when thousands of Jews and Moors who didn't want to convert to Christianism were expelled or killed. | | | After the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492 tons of gold and silver were brought in from the new continent, and Spain became one of the most powerful nations of this Age. | | | Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. |

| | However, the states of Christian Spain were also frequently engaged in bloody rivalry, and the Christian kings were in almost continuous conflict with the powerful nobles. | | | The Mudéjares, as the Muslims in reconquered Spain were called, were not immediately expelled, but after an uprising they were forcibly converted (1502) to Christianity. | | | In 1956, Spanish Morocco became part of the independent state of Morocco; in 1968, Spanish Equatorial Guinea became independent; in 1969 Ifni was ceded to Morocco; and in 1976 Spanish Sahara was transferred to Morocco and Mauritania. |

| | Brief history of spain |
| | Toward the end of the decade, some of Franco's former supporters (some in the church, some in the Movimiento) began to recognize that Spain must change (towards democracy) and though he had been ill for a long time, his death in 1975 was well timed with growing public displays of dissatisfaction. | | | Ferdinand and Isabella are often regarded as heroes for pushing the moors out of Spain with the conquering of Grenada and for sending Columbus to discover ‘the new world.’ However, they also organized the council of the Inquisition in 1478, tortured and killed infidels and expelled over 100,000 Jews, | | | Unfortunately for Rivera, there were not enough landowners to support his endeavor and the separatists quickly realized he would not grant the wishes he had promised them. |
