Yes, Spain experienced significant historical events during the 1400s. This period saw the culmination of the Christian Reconquista with the fall of Granada in 1492, the expulsion of Jews and Muslims from Spain, the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella unifying the country, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus leading to the discovery of the Americas. These events laid the foundation for Spain's emergence as a global power in the following centuries.
During the late 1400s and early 1500s, Spain claimed the largest area in the Americas following the voyages of Christopher Columbus and subsequent explorers. The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, brokered by the Pope, granted Spain rights to vast territories in the New World, leading to extensive conquests in regions such as present-day Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America. This expansion established Spain as a dominant colonial power in the Americas during that period.
