The Reconquista, which culminated in 1492 with the fall of Granada, led to increased Spanish nationalism and the desire for exploration and expansion. This atmosphere of newfound confidence and unity in Spain encouraged King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to support Christopher Columbus' voyage to find a westward route to Asia. Columbus' successful expedition ultimately resulted in the discovery of the Americas, marking the beginning of Spanish colonization and the global age of exploration.
