Scenarios about 'reconquest'
The reclaiming of territories previously lost to an opposing power, often referring to the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule between the 8th and 15th centuries. This centuries-long process, known as the Reconquista, involved military campaigns, political alliances, and religious motivation that ultimately shaped modern Spain and Portugal. In alternate history scenarios, reconquests frequently explore different timelines for territorial recovery or reversal of historical conquests.
