In 711 AD, the Moors entered what is now Southern Spain and the final expulsion of Muslims from Spain occurred between 1609 and 1614, and Catholic domination of the country was complete. Using the weekly readings and documentary examine and analyze the impact of the Moors on Spanish history and culture. What types of innovations, technology, and philosophies did they bring to Spain? Why do you think the Muslim history of Spain is under-examined and how does it help us understand Spain before the country began exploring the Americas in 1492? Add any other commentary or analysis of your learning this week.
