Detailed explanation-1: -What was the Reconquista? The Reconquista was a centuries-long series of battles by Christian states to expel the Muslims (Moors), who from the 8th century ruled most of the Iberian Peninsula. Visigoths had ruled Spain for two centuries before they were overrun by the Umayyad empire.
Detailed explanation-2: -It decreased the power of the Church in Northern Europe. It decreased the roles of monarchs in the Church. It increased the roles of Islamic ideas in the Church.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Reconquista dramatically decreased the population of the three main cities of the Moorish Caliphate-Granada, Cordoba, and Seville. This represents a very particular shock in the sense that these were cities with a vast majority of Muslim population, which was then replaced by Christian residents.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Reconquista (“reconquest”) is a period in the history of the Iberian Peninsula, spanning approximately 770 years, between the initial Umayyad conquest of Hispania in the 710s and the fall of the Emirate of Granada, the last Islamic state on the peninsula, to expanding Christian kingdoms in 1492.
