Spain was united as a Christian state primarily through the Reconquista, the centuries-long campaign to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule, culminating in 1492 with the fall of Granada. The Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, played a crucial role by consolidating their kingdoms and promoting a unified Christian identity. Their marriage in 1469 and subsequent policies reinforced religious homogeneity, leading to the expulsion of Jews and Muslims from Spain. Ultimately, the unification was marked by the establishment of a centralized monarchy that emphasized Catholicism as a core element of national identity.
