The Spanish monarchs, particularly Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, achieved significant successes during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. They completed the Reconquista by expelling the Moors from Granada in 1492, unified Spain under Christian rule, and sponsored Christopher Columbus's voyage, leading to the discovery of the Americas. Their reign marked the beginning of Spain's rise as a global power, establishing a vast overseas empire that would dominate trade and influence in the New World. Additionally, they implemented reforms to strengthen royal authority and centralized governance, laying the foundation for a powerful Spanish state.
