The Spanish helped themselves. Prior to the expulsion of the Moors in 1492 Spain was a series of independent Christian and Moorish political entities. The marriage of Isabel I of Leon and Castile to Ferdinand II of Aragon and Leon united the two largest kingdoms in Spain. Then when they finally expelled the Moors in 1492 they were pretty much the most powerful entity in Spain and the lessor kingdoms fell under their dominion.
