The Reconquista, the centuries-long effort to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule, culminated in 1492 with the fall of Granada. This victory spurred the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, to establish the Spanish Inquisition, aimed at consolidating religious unity and enforcing Catholic orthodoxy among the newly converted Christians, particularly those of Jewish and Muslim descent. The Inquisition sought to root out heresy and maintain control over the population in a newly unified Spain, reflecting the intertwined goals of religious and national unity following the Reconquista.
