This is What Happened to Muslims and Jews after the Fall of Islamic Spain in 1492

"By 1614, all Moriscos and Marranos were expelled, and Islam and Judaism were eradicated from the Iberian Peninsula" Let's clarify: the Marranos were not expelled. Judaism was banned in 1492, and Islam in 1502. Those who remained were officially converted Christians after having been baptized, so the Inquisition could judge them, since the Inquisition could only judge Christians. The expulsion of the Moriscos was officially for treason to the king, not for religion (the latter was told to common people). The fear that they would ask the Ottoman Empire for help to rebel again, in addition to the request to send weapons to the Moriscos of Aragon from France, either by the Protestant Huguenots or by King Henry II, and the help they gave to the Berber pirates to plunder the Spanish coast (robberies, kidnappings, massacres), convinced the king to expell them all. Anecdotal fact: the Spanish Inquisition itself defended the Moriscos of Murcia to prevent their expulsion. And please, let's not recommend novels instead of history books to better understand history, it does not seem very appropriate for learning history, and it is maybe the biggest mistake of all.

"after burying his wife, Morayma, and youngest son, Yusuf. Boabdil's eldest son, Ahmed, remained in Spain, adopted Christianity, and integrated into Spanish society." Boabdil's two sons were returned and met with her mother in Laujar, and after her death the two went with their father Boabdil to Fez. "The fall of Granada was celebrated as a triumph of Christianity (...) The fall of Al-Andalus is considered one of the most tragic events in Islamic history" How would we then consider the fall of the Visigothic kingdom in 711 from the Christian point of view? A triumph of Islam, or a tragedy for Christians? "After Granada's fall, Castile gradually revoked its tolerant policies." They were revoked in 1502, not gradually, after the armed revolts caused by the aggressive evangelization policy of Cardinal Cisneros that began in 1499. The armed revolts were the trigger for the breaking of the treaty, those who revolted would be forgiven if they were baptized, which they did en masse, avoiding forced exile and keeping their religion a secret.

As for genocide: using the term to describe events before the 20th century, when neither the mentality nor the context of the 20th century existed, is at the very least risky, because history would be full of them, so not mentioning them all would imply a very obvious double standard. The Berber Almoravids imposed harsh treatment on both Christians and Jews (also on Spanish Muslims). Jews were massacred in Granada in 1066, Christians were expelled in 1126 from Granada, Cordoba and Seville, also later in 1138 from other places, leaving Al Andalus with a declining Christian population. The Jews who remained in Al Andalus had to face in 1145 the invasion of the Berber Almohads, who treated non-Muslims even worse, and even the Almoravids, whom they accused of not having treated non-Muslims harshly enough. They forced the Jews to choose between conversion to Islam or death in 1146 (converts were also discriminated against) and ordered the expulsion of the remaining Christians in 1170, although by 1162 there were almost none left. Wasn't that genocide? The arrival of both Berbers meant the end of what until then had been rivalry, and brought a radical religious intolerance of which Christians were later exclusively accused.

"In 1609, King Philip III of Spain expelled all Moriscos, giving them three days to leave for North Africa or the Ottoman Empire" Let's clarify: not all the Moriscos were expelled in 1609. There were expulsions in the different kingdoms from 1609 to 1613. In the different kingdoms of Spain there were different deadlines. In Castile they were given one month to sell their belongings and take merchandise that could be sold in the destination country. And they were not forced to go to North Africa or the Ottoman Empire, some used the route to France or Italy. "The Muslim population in Spain decreased from 500,000 to zero within 100 years, marking one of history's most significant acts of genocide." Before the war in Granada there were no censuses and researchers believe that the Muslim population of Granada was around 300,000. Because of the wars (that of the Catholic monarchs and the Granada civil war) many fled to North Africa. In 1502 there were 165,000 left, so 135,000 left Spain in 20 years, an average of 6,750 per year, but they were not expelled. Out of the 286,000 Moriscos registered in 1609, 272,140 were expelled.

"This momentous event followed decades of warfare between the Catholic monarchs and Boabdil, the last Sultan of Spain" Let's clarify: Boabdil was the last sultan of Granada, or of Al Andalus. The War of Granada lasted from 1482 to January 1492 (the first 3 years were not a war, only seasonal and improvised confrontations) between the Catholic monarchs and three sultans of Granada: Mulay Hacen, El Zagal and Boabdil, who maintained a civil war between them, during which Boabdil was taken prisoner by the Catholic monarchs twice, and released. In fact, after his second liberation, he led a Christian (that of the Catholic monarchs) and a Muslim army to recover Granada from the hands of his uncle El Zagal. "Boabdil was exiled and granted an enclave in the Alpujarra Mountains, where he spent his remaining days in Morocco" Boabdil lived in the Alpujarras for a year and a half, and finally decided to go to North Africa, after selling to the Catholic monarchs the lordship that they had granted him (after pressure and intrigue from a Christian and a Muslim traitor he trusted). His exile was voluntary (he certified it in a letter), accompanied by the Granada Muslim elite (about 6,000 people). (3 of 7)
