What happened with the Muslim Majority of Spain? 

The same thing happened all along the Mediterranean coast, j*ws always supported and helped the muslim invaders against the eastern roman empire and the different successor states, as they did before. They really hated the romans!

So probably why the Jews were expelled later on🤷

Jews sided with hitler, not suprised

I'm no expert but I don't think this is a lot different to how the British controlled India for so long, via the British Raj & Princely states systems.

"Religion and language" as dividing factors? Not when the Muslims were in charge of Spain. Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in peace there until the Christians took over. Those Christians then set out to dominate and plunder the Americas.

As someone that has traveled down through, I'd say you're right you can definitely see it in the cities, and I'd say the Portuguese did the same.

The truth is until the late reconquesta, nobody wanted any kingdom, be it Spanish or moorish, to become to powerful and be able to conquer all the rest. They did a pretty good job of all 3 faiths living together. The great El Cid had very good ties to Zaragoza. At the same time the king of Leon was sent into exile so he went to toledo, under moorish rule. The great AL rahman 2s mother was a Navarro princess and he had blue eyes and light skin. His aunt asked him to send his Jewish doctor because his cousin, and soon to be king of Navarro, was fat.

Probably even worse. Most of the time a leader died, The new leader had to fight off his brothers, uncles and sometimes others. Later on in the ottoman empire, the new leader killed all his brothers so that kind of kept them safe and his son didn't have to deal with his uncles.

And the beggining of reconquista wasnt about religion. Many christians allied themselfs with muslins and many familes mary their sons into different religions. The true goal of reconquista was power, expel the "foreigners" and try to unite iberia under one kingdom. The 10 and 11 century were a complete mess, worst than game of thrones. Many wars between families, counties, kingdoms. But with the depopulation of Iberia because of constant war, many people from France and Germany or Morrocos come to the Peninsula to try established himselfs in life. Thats when things become a litle more religious and with the help of English/French/Germans the muslins were expelled to Granada.

@@CesarLuisAfonsoDias exactly, conflicts are never as simple as 1 religion vs another

@@CesarLuisAfonsoDias What's crazy is that the Muslims failed to see themselves as one people. They used to side and seek European military aid against other Muslim kingdoms, all for money and power. They only thought about their own greed. The same thing happened to the Ottoman empire with time, with the exception that the Ottomans didn't fight themselves, but were not "fair" (or so as history mentions) in governing the areas they controlled in the Caliphate at the time and thus got a big revolt from the Arabs especially the Arabs of the Arabian peninsula, modernly knows as Saudi Arabia (with the help of the British offcourse). The Ottoman empire was strong at the time and they could of helped. However, I think they saw that its better to keep their current borders and economy safe and secure since they were not going to benefit from Iberia.

The Ottoman Empire in 1915 systematically expelled and murdered Christian populations, especially Pontic Greeks, Maronite Catholics, Assyrians and Armenians. The Muslims were expelled from Spain for a reason. Remember, Muslims were only expelled fully in 1609. They had until 1492-1609.

To Europe and Israel. The French took some of them with them when they left North Africa. For economic reasons many left for Israel. Jews and Christian’s had many religious freedoms in Northern Africa and there was never any hate towards them since North Africa itself used to be Christian. There was never and kind of ethnic cleansing in North Africa that was even close to that what the Germanic people that conquerod modern day Spain did.

@srg25008 I would say that seeing what happened in Europe when you dragged your feet and hoped-for the best .Quite a few took the option of going before they were pushed. Nevertheless, direct persecution did and does take place especially in Iran Iraq, Syria ,Yemen , with the Christian people of Lebanon find their homes and land being used by Hezbolla to fire rockets into northern Israel. Then we come back to the Koran being the one and only religious text that advocates death to non Muslims.

queso ... is basically the same word as "Käse" in German. The ancient Romans were not big fans of diary products and cheese making, that is something the Gothic tribes brought.

Shhh people don't care about all that. It's a Christian victory let the crusaders celebrate!

It's true. Although the idea of ​​Hispania-Spain is created by the Romans. And the Visigoths reigned in Hispana-Spain in the 6th century. There was already an idea of ​​Spain at that time. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Spaniards from Aragon, Castilla, Galicia or Navarra called themselves Spaniards. El Cid speaks of the Spains, in the plural. There has always been that idea of ​​a single homeland, but with several kingdoms. It's like Germany, which throughout the Middle Ages had 300 or 400 independent kingdoms, united by a highly divided empire, which was definitively united in 1870. Or Italy, which was united in the 1860s. Although Goethe, Beethoven, Raphael or Leonardo da Vinci know that they are German or Italian from different kingdoms.

@@Truthseiker87 I mean the internal divisions don’t matter as much as the over-all effect of Hispania remaining Christian.

@@Gloriaimperial1 That Hispania and not España was destroyed in 711. What emerged was al-Andalus and the Asturo-Leonese kingdom of the north. The northern Catalan territories and the Portuguese did NOT identify themselves as Spaniards. Roman Hispania included the province of Lusitania, which would be more or less the territory of Portugal. The Portuguese, who declared their independence from the Leon in the first half of the 12th century, did not consider themselves as Spanish or as Spaniards.After becoming independent from the Frankish kingdom, they were known as the Catalan counties that would join with the Kingdom of Aragon to form the loosely Crown of Aragon, which was a loose confederation that was later conquered the Balearic islands and Valencia. The Asturo-Leonese kingdom would subdivide into León and Castilla. The Leonese Crown did have the claim to Hispania and Alfonso VII crowned himself as emperor of Hispania. Your claim that the Navarrese and Catalans viewed themselves as "Spanish" is not based on any documentation. You provide an oversimplified interpretation of a complex identification of the different elites of the five kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula of the middle ages. I would recommend that you read Miguel Ladero Quesada, Julio Valdeón Baruque, Vicente Álvarez Palenzuela and Luis Suárez Fernández among Spanish medieval historians, and then José Mattoso, Joaquim Veríssimo Serrão, A.H. de Oliveira Marques and Bernardo Vasconcelos e Sousa amongst the Portuguese medieval historians

@@Gloriaimperial1 Your notion of Germany that finally unified under Prussian hegemony in 1871, is no comparison to the Holy Roman Empire or the Confederation of the Rhine or the German Confederation. Although the notion and concept of Germany existed for centuries, many people identified themselves with the crowned leaders of the separate kingdoms, duchies and principalities that existed. This "German particularism" is what kept the German states from uniting. It was only in the 19th century that nationalism brought the different German states together. This notion that in the Middles Ages, people had the same concept and interpretation of nationhood did not exist.

True, ruling class and the common people, don't have to share same religion values (or grade of fanaticism) and ethnicity.

Good thing. As an atheist i'd rather have Christianity than Islam.

They Arab caliphates were defeated by the Franks They raided Italy twice and were repelled within days both times Let's say that in fact Iberia is the only region of Europe that the Islamic expansion succeeded

In a series of battles the Pratiharas(sometimes with the help of Chalukyas) defeated the Umayyads and later Abasids, the last of these was fought by Mihira Bhoja. After the Abasids signed truce, Mihira Bhoja shifted his capital to Kannauj and the Pratiharas conquered a region almost the size of Pushyabhuti Empire. It was later the Turks who actually invaded India. Read about the Mughal Maratha wars. The Marathas almost never lost to Mughals and if not for losing the Second and third Anglo-Maratha wars they were going to conquer most of the former Mughal territorries. North India would have been a Muslim majority if they didn't defeat the Mughals. The terma "Swarajya" and "Hindavi Swarajya"(self-rule for Indian people) was first used by Marathas. Now, there are many kingdoms throughout the world that fought of Arabic/Turkic expansion. For example Kalinga(modern Odisha) not only fought off the Turks, some like Langula Narasingha Deva and Kapilendra Deva even took offensive against Turkic kingdoms. Only during the reign of Akbar did the Mughals took the North(then ruled by Mukunda Deva and later Bhois) and Golconda took the South(under Maharaja of Jeypore who had the titles Kalingadhipati and Gajapati). Even then Jeypore made itself independent and slowly losing most of his Northern territorries to Nawab of Bengal(later taken by Marathas) and Southern terriorries to Vizianagaram estate, Jeypore finally conquered in 1780 by British. Also, the Ahoms(modern Assam) and Nepal successfully repelled a Mughal invasion. I am sure you can find many instances of people successfully repelling Arabic or Turkic expansion in the world.

It's no coincidence that the discovery of the New World and the Reconquista happened in the same year -- the Turks cut off access to the Black Sea and the Silk Road; a new route to the Far East had to be discovered. Invasion from Asia and Africa into Europe had been incessant, as was the capture and enslavement of European peoples by Ottomans, Arabs, Jews, Turks, and North Africans. Finally defending themselves led to these societies to look elsewhere, to Africa, for their odious slave trade.

Yes the people of Castile, Aragon, León etc were essentially the same people . They were the people of Hispania .They were not Berbers or Arabs

Yeah this whole video series leaves me unconvinced. It's not academically robust, it seems like there is a political agenda behind it but we don't know which, though I doubt it is one based on love and acceptance of the other. Ironic that now we have the world's knowledge at our fingertips, if we read or see anything on the internet now, we need to go to the physical library to check if it is legit or misinformation or what. Digital era... underwhelming.

History is mostly incositant because what we have is the propaganda from the winners lol.

Putting Madrid in the map was very inaccurate.

Yeah, not the first time when this content creator doing inaccuracies. Now i'm clicking don't recommend on youtube main page, to avoid getting dissinformation.

Say that to the Portuguese LOL yes they tried

Portugal was part of Al Andalus and the Visigoths. The two countries of Portugal and Spain were one in the past.

@@Handle0108 actually it wasn't like that, most of Portugal was under the rule of "suevos", and Bilbao was under "vascoes", while the rest of iberia was under the rule of Visigoths. Nonetheless Portugal was under Spain during 1580-1640 a completely different period.

They didn't drink wine... they didn't eat pork... they had to go.

resest your sources man

@@lmnop286 Not they weren't, the was basically just muslin elites, thanks god

Many probably just pretended to be muslims to avoid the invaders non-muslim tax

True. Most of spain had a majority of Christians except few cities. Muslims didn't care to convert the locals for many reasons. Also Andalusia was the most peaceful society humans had ever seen up until 20th century. However, what this useless video failed to mention is the Spanish Inquisition that ended tolerance and harmony and forced a certain religion on the whole nation.

@@baidon3613 Muslims were the majority in Iberia by the time the Caliphate of Cordoba collapsed around the 11th century. Stop trying to change history.

Because christians are no lnger ruled by christians.

Great research of your name👏

al in arabic means "the", so its actually "the lighthouse" :)

That is very interesting. It helps connect the present with the past. It is also fun to learn something about language roots. Spanish is not just strictly a Latin language.

yes... its a stretch since that area is down south

There is a small town in Portugal called Alfarras.

Archeology says otherwise.

@@ricxhenz9748 The historical monuments they left behind, the water and irrigation networks, the inherited architecture and Arabic literature indicate a civilization built there by those who wanted to advance and not plunder the area.

youve a 1400 year defecit of history

@@abuhamze5926 Civilisation already existed there they had water and irrigation works build by the romans

You got it all wrong my friend!! In Portugal we did mixed with the enemy meaning we gave the a choice to convert or to be expelled to Al-Andaluz ... and the majority prefered to remain and that's why 30% of our DNA is jew & moor ... and visigoth, fenician, greek, roman, celt and offcourse still a small portion of Lusitano our founding bloodline.

The conquest didn't stop. The entire peninsula (society, politics, religion, culture and economy) was shaped by the reconquista. It developed a warrior society over the course of centuries. It was hard to snap out of it. It took Ottoman, British, French, Dutch and US imperialism to stop Iberian imperialism. But we are normal again. Thank God.

If they hadn't kicked the muslims out they wouldn't of been able to create their empire n sail to South America, everything couldve been different n the Mexican population would be totally different than it is today, it's why history matters imo.
