The Moors, who were Muslim inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, gradually lost control of Spain due to the Christian Reconquista that spanned several centuries, culminating in the capture of Granada in 1492. Following their defeat, many Moors converted to Christianity, while others chose to leave the region to avoid persecution. The Alhambra Decree later mandated the expulsion of Jews and non-converted Muslims, further facilitating their departure. Those who remained often faced heavy restrictions and discrimination, leading to a significant decline in their population in Spain.
