The LONGEST War ever... | Historically | History Teacher Reacts

Описание: Check out our new video on the crazy 4th Crusade!    • The 4th Crusade was an EPIC FAIL  

This video by Historically ‪@HeyHistorically‬ provides a comprehensive overview of the Reconquista, a 781-year historical period marked by the struggle between Christian and Muslim forces for control of the Iberian Peninsula. The conflict began in 711 when the Umayyad Caliphate swiftly dismantled the Visigothic Kingdom following the Battle of Guadalete, leading to the establishment of Al-Andalus. Christian resistance was sparked by Pelayo at the Battle of Covadonga, which served as the symbolic starting point for the long reclamation effort. Over the centuries, the tide shifted through pivotal moments like the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, which decisively broke the power of the Almohad Empire and left only the Kingdom of Granada as a Muslim stronghold. The era finally concluded on January 2, 1492, when the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, captured Granada, effectively unifying Spain under Christian rule just as Christopher Columbus was set to sail for the Americas.
