The Reconquista, the centuries-long campaign by Christian kingdoms to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule, significantly affected Muslims and Jews. After the conquest, many Muslims faced forced conversions, displacement, or persecution, leading to a decline in their population and cultural influence. Jews also experienced severe repercussions, including violence, forced conversions, and expulsion, particularly with the Alhambra Decree of 1492, which led to the mass exodus of Jews from Spain. This period marked a significant shift in religious and cultural dynamics in the region.
