The order for Jews in Spain to convert to Catholicism or face expulsion was issued by the Catholic Monarchs, King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. This decree was part of the Alhambra Decree in 1492, which mandated the expulsion of practicing Jews from Spain unless they converted to Christianity. The decision was influenced by a desire to unify Spain under a single faith and eliminate religious diversity.
