Final answer:
The Reconquista was both a military and religious action by the Spanish and Portuguese to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors, concluding in 1492 with the fall of Granada.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to the historical event known as the Reconquista, the period when the Spanish and Portuguese kingdoms sought to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim Moors. This effort was indeed both a military and religious action. It spanned several centuries, culminating in 1492 with the fall of Granada. The Reconquista was motivated by the desire to expand Christian kingdoms and reduce Muslim rule in the region.
The use of the tripod on Easter Island in photography is completely unrelated to the matter of the Reconquista and seems to address perhaps a separate concern about rules or etiquette concerning the use of tripods when photographing the Moai statues.
