Step-by-step explanation:
The significance of la Reconquista in Spain was that it was a period marked by Christian re-conquest of Christian territory that had been seized by the Muslim kingdoms. The idea was to expel the Moors (Muslims) from the Iberian Peninsula ending Muslim rule in the region.
The Reconquista began in 718 when King Pelayo of the Visigoths defeated the Muslim army in Alcama at the Battle of Covadonga. This was the first significant victory of the Christians over the Moors. Over the next several hundred years the Christians and the Moors would do battle.
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were called the "Catholic Monarchs". It was Ferdinand and Isabella who authorized the expedition of Christopher Columbus in 1492.
After the Reconquista, Muslims and Jews who lived in Spain were forced to convert to Christianity or they were expelled from the country.
