Reconquista

From Conservapedia

The Reconquista was the reconquest by Christians of the Iberian Peninsula (present day Spain and Portugal), which was under Islamic control. The Reconquista lasted from c.722 AD with the success of Pelayo over the Islamic armies at Covadonga, and was completed in 1492, when the Christian Spanish King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella gained control of the only remaining Moorish enclave (the small Kingdom of Granada in southern Spain).

As part of the "Rechristianization" process after the long war which had seen non-Christians work with the Islamic invaders, the Spanish Inquisition was begun, and the Jewish population of Spain was expelled.
