1492 was the year Columbus left Spain and discovered the New World.
I forgot the date the Inquisition started and ended,but exact dates don't matter. What matters is operated just like I said it did,and for those very reasons.
The Alhambra Decree (also known as the Edict of Expulsion) was an edict issued on 31 March 1492, by the joint Catholic Monarchs of Spain (Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon) ordering the expulsion of practicing Jews from the Kingdoms of Castile and Aragon and its territories and possessions by 31 July, of that year.
It wasn't revoked until 1968.
