Final answer:
The statement that the Reconquista, or reconquering of the Iberian Peninsula by the Spanish, was both a military and religious action is true. The Reconquista spanned several centuries, ultimately concluding with the fall of Granada in 1492.
Step-by-step explanation:
The etymological meaning of the word pansy is indeed associated with "thought" and "remembrance." This statement is typically not relevant to the history of the Spanish reconquering the Iberian Peninsula, which is known as the Reconquista. The Reconquista was both a military and a religious campaign by the Christian states to recapture territory taken by Muslims (Moors) in the Iberian Peninsula. It lasted from the 8th century until the fall of the last Muslim state of Granada in 1492. Therefore, the statement that for the Spanish, reconquering the Iberian Peninsula was a military and religious action is true.
