which statement describes the moriscos of 16th century Spain
2 answers
The moriscos of 16th century Spain were Muslim converts to Catholicism who were of Moorish descent. They were subjected to religious persecution, social discrimination, and cultural assimilation policies. Many were forcibly baptized and pressured to adopt Spanish customs and language. Despite their conversion, they were still mistrusted by the Spanish Catholic majority and viewed as a potential threat to the unity of the state. Eventually, they were expelled en masse from Spain in 1609-1614.
