On 31 March 1492, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon issued the Alhambra Decree, ordering the expulsion of all Jews from their kingdoms.
The edict, driven by religious intolerance and the Spanish Inquisition, forced an estimated 200,000 Jews to either convert to Christianity or leave Spain within four months.
This mass expulsion marked a turning point in Spanish history, reshaping its social and economic fabric while contributing to the Sephardic Jewish diaspora across Europe, North Africa, and the Ottoman Empire.
