Scenarios about 'catholic monarchs'
The term "Catholic Monarchs" primarily refers to Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, whose marriage in 1469 united Spain and who ruled jointly from 1479 to 1504. Their reign marked the completion of the Reconquista with Granada's conquest in 1492, the expulsion of Jews and Muslims, the sponsorship of Columbus's voyages, and the establishment of Spain as a major European power. In alternate history scenarios, different decisions by these monarchs could dramatically alter the course of European colonization, religious history, and the development of the Spanish Empire.
