Q & A
What was the role of the Reconquista in the formation of Portugal and Spain?
-The Reconquista was a key event that drove the formation of both Portugal and Spain. It was a series of military campaigns by Christian kingdoms to reclaim territory from Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula. This process helped strengthen the centralization of power in both countries, shaping their political identities.
How did the County of Portucalense lead to the creation of Portugal?
-The County of Portucalense, initially part of the Kingdom of Castile, became independent after Afonso Henriques proclaimed its independence in 1139. This marked the start of Portugal's identity as an independent state, distinct from Spain.
Who was Henry of Burgundy, and what was his role in the formation of Portugal?
-Henry of Burgundy was a French nobleman who played a crucial role in the war against the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula. He was rewarded with the County of Portucalense and married the daughter of the King of Castile, establishing the foundations of Portuguese independence.
What were the key factors that contributed to the centralization of Portugal in the 12th century?
-The key factors included the victory over the Moors, the consolidation of borders by 1249, and the establishment of a centralized monarchy that controlled local nobility and maintained strong governance across the region.
How did the death of King Fernando I of Portugal in 1383 affect the country's political landscape?
-King Fernando I's death without a direct heir led to a struggle for succession between the King of Castile and Dom João, the Master of Aviz. This conflict, known as the War of the Two Pedros, was resolved in favor of Dom João, who established the Avis dynasty, strengthening Portugal’s independence.
What role did the Battle of Aljubarrota play in Portugal's history?
-The Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385 was a decisive victory for Dom João, securing his claim to the throne and marking the beginning of the Avis dynasty. It helped solidify Portugal's independence and centralization, ensuring the country’s continued autonomy from Castile.

-The marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile in 1469 united the two powerful kingdoms, laying the foundation for the creation of modern Spain. This union helped consolidate Spain’s territorial and political power.
What was the significance of the fall of Granada in 1492 for Spain?
-The fall of Granada in 1492 marked the end of the Reconquista, completing the expulsion of Muslims from the Iberian Peninsula. This event consolidated Spain as a unified Christian kingdom and signaled the beginning of its global exploration and empire-building era.
How did the political structure in Portugal differ from that of Spain in the medieval period?
-Portugal developed a centralized monarchy much earlier than Spain, with a clear territorial identity by the 13th century.

What were the main differences between how Portugal and Spain expanded during the Reconquista?
-Portugal's expansion during the Reconquista was more focused on solidifying its borders and achieving independence, culminating in the consolidation of its territory by 1249.
