The most important events centred aroundSpain.Muslimforces were finally expelled (sent away) from Spain. This ended 780 years of Muslim control inAl-Andalus.[1]
Jewswere also expelled. With the backing of the King of Spain,Christopher Columbusset off on the voyage by which he would discover the "New World",by which was meant theAmericas.
