Question

We read several papers about the reconquest of Spain and the expulsion of the Muslim community. The question: How might Spain's development have been different had they been more tolerant of the Muslim community

Answer 1

Much more influence of Muslim culture in Spain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spain situated in the Iberian Peninsula, and the Pyrenees mountains isolate the region from the rest of Europe. The Iberian Peninsula divided in the 15th century based on geography, politics, and ethnography.

The Moors were Muslims people from northern Africa who invaded Spain. These people conquered Spain during the times leading up to the First Crusade. They ruled the Southern part of Spain from 711 to 1492 until Granada captured by Fernidad V and Isabella I. Some cities like Toledo, Granada, Cordoba, and Seville were under the Moors. In Southern Spain, the Moors presence considered a threat because of their religion.

If Spain had been more tolerant of the Muslim, then the entire region would have converted into Muslim with diminishing Catholic religion and values.
