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.
