Was castile and leon both countries in 1492?

In 1492, Castile and León were not separate countries but rather two kingdoms that had been unified under the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. The unification of these kingdoms played a crucial role in the formation of modern Spain. That year was significant as it marked the completion of the Reconquista with the conquest of Granada and the start of Columbus's voyage to the Americas. Thus, while they had distinct historical identities, they functioned as a unified entity in that pivotal year.
