Step-by-step explanation:
True/False: For the Spanish, reconquering the Iberian Peninsula was a military and religious action. The correct answer to this statement is true. The reconquest, also known as the Reconquista, was a period that spanned approximately from the 8th to the 15th century during which Christian kingdoms in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula sought to retake land that had been conquered by Muslim powers who had invaded in the early 8th century. This long series of battles and political struggles was motivated by both the desire to expand Christian kingdoms — a military goal — and to expel Muslim influence and spread Christianity, a religious goal.
