Скачать или смотреть Why Spain Kicked Out the Jews (1492 Edition)

In 1492, Spain didn’t just send Columbus west — it also expelled one of Europe’s largest Jewish communities. After centuries of thriving, collaborating, and clashing under Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, and Christian kings, the Jews of Spain went from influential merchants, slavers and administrators… to enemy of Christendom.

This video covers the entire saga — from Judea to Hispania, the Muslim conquest, the “Golden Age” under Islam, the Reconquista, pogroms, conversions, and finally the Edict of Expulsion.

Was it religion, economics, politics — or all of the above?
And how did centuries of resentment, collaboration, and power struggles explode in 1492?
