The goal of the Inquisition was to enforce Catholicism in Spain and in Spanish territories. Torture was considered legitimate by the inquisitors. As under the Soviets, everyone was afraid of informers. Many thousands were tortured and killed.
As part of the Christianizing of Spain, Jews who openly remained Jewish were expelled from the country. Many died in the process, and everyone else was uprooted.
