The Reconquista, which culminated in 1492 with the fall of Granada, unified Spain under a single Christian monarchy and spurred nationalistic fervor. This newly unified Spain sought to expand its influence and wealth, leading to the sponsorship of Christopher Columbus’s expedition to find a westward route to the Indies. The desire for trade in spices and other riches motivated this exploration, ultimately resulting in the discovery of the Americas instead. Thus, the Reconquista not only reshaped Spain's political landscape but also redirected its exploratory ambitions towards the New World.
