Reconquista

The period in Spain's history during which the Christian kingdoms slowly recovered the territories occupied by the Moslem Moors of North Africa. The Moorish invasion of the Iberian peninsula began in 711 AD and was halted at the Battle of Covadonga in Asturias, in 718. The expulsion of the last Moorish ruler of the kingdom of Granada in 1492 completed the Reconquest. The intervening 781 years saw periods of conflict and coexistence between Moors and Christians. Alliances of Moorish and Christian kingdoms against Christian rivals were not unknown.

Reconquista

The Reconquista was ended after eight centuries of Moorish occupation by the reconquest of the Kingdom of Granada. For eight centuries, the sole objective of the Christian rulers had been to drive the Arabs out of the Península Ibérica. Those Moors and Jews who wished to remain in Spain had to convert to the Christian faith.
