The Reconquista was a centuries-long campaign by Christian kingdoms in Spain to recapture territories from Muslim rule.

The outcome of the Reconquista was the eventual defeat of the Muslim rulers and the establishment of the Kingdom of Spain. The effects of the Reconquista included the strengthening of the Christian kingdoms, the spread of Christianity, and the expulsion or conversion of Muslims and Jews from Spain.
