 | | Under their watch, Muslim rule on the Iberian Peninsula came to an end, and the Muslims who did not convert to Christianity (thenceforth called moriscos) were banished from the land. | | | 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. |

| | Naive Spanish Judeophobia - Gustavo D. Perednik |
| | Spain was in the process of becoming a democracy, and the extreme right party (Fuerza Nueva) claimed that democratization was part of a Jewish conspiracy. | | | Today Spain's population is forty million; the Jews are at most 0.05 percent of it (about 20,000 Jews) and this figure is the result of dramatic growth during the last decade. | | | In Spain, "the Jewish lobby" is freely cited in intellectual circles. |

| | 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. | | | When, in 711, a Muslim Berber army under Tarik ibn Ziyad crossed the Strait of Gibraltar into Spain, Roderick, the last Visigothic king, was defeated, and his kingdom collapsed. |

| | 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. | | | It was suppressed on account of the Arab invasion, and restored in the ninth century. |
