The Crusades and the Reconquista are related as both were military campaigns motivated by religious fervor and aimed at reclaiming territory from Muslim control. The Crusades, beginning in 1096, sought to regain the Holy Land, while the Reconquista, spanning from the 8th to the 15th centuries, aimed to recapture the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. Both movements reflected the broader Christian desire to expand their influence and territory, and they influenced each other culturally and politically, as the Reconquista was often framed within the same religious context as the Crusades. Additionally, the experiences and tactics from the Crusades informed the strategies employed during the Reconquista.
Spain was not involved in the Crusades primarily because it was already engaged in its own significant conflict during the same period: the Reconquista, which aimed to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. The Reconquista began in the early 8th century and continued until 1492, coinciding with the time of the Crusades. Additionally, by the time the Crusades were in full swing, many Spanish kingdoms had their own priorities focused on territorial expansion and consolidation rather than participating in distant campaigns in the Holy Land.
