Spanish Inquisition/Westward Expansion (1478 - 1834) (1 Nov 1478 Jahr – 15 Jul 1834 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

"The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition," commonly known as the "Spanish Inquisition," was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile.

Isabella and Ferdinand launched the Inquisition, taking aim especially against conversos - converted Jews and Muslims, whom they suspected were Christians only in name (when Granda fell, the crown ordered the expulsion of all Jews from Spain; after 1499, a more tolerant attempt to convert the Moors by persuasion gave way to forced conversion - or emigration.

They sought to drive out all non-Catholics out of Spain which led to the Inquisition in 1481.
