C. Reconquista

Extra: The Reconquista is a period in the history of the Iberian Peninsula, spanning approximately from 711, when the Islamic Moors from North Africa first invaded the region, to 1492, when the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile captured Granada, the last Moorish stronghold. This period was marked by numerous battles, skirmishes, and shifting alliances as Christian kingdoms in what is now modern Spain and Portugal fought to reclaim territories held by the Moors.

The Reconquista was not a continuous effort but rather a series of campaigns and battles interspersed with periods of truce. It also had profound cultural, religious, and social implications, as it led to the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition, forced conversions, and expulsions of Jews and Muslims. The culmination of the Reconquista coincided with the Age of Discovery, when Spain became a major European power with ambitions and resources to explore and conquer new territories across the world. The term "Reconquista" itself means "reconquest" in Spanish and Portuguese, reflecting the viewpoint of Christian reclamation of territory.
