The exact number of Moors forced out of Spain varies by historical account, but it is generally estimated that around 200,000 to 300,000 Moors left Spain during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, particularly following the Reconquista and the Alhambra Decree of 1492. This decree mandated the expulsion of Jews and later affected many Muslims who were pressured to convert to Christianity or face exile. Many of those who remained faced significant discrimination and persecution.
