About my research topic

I am still working on the right research question for my topic, but so far I have, “What are the characteristics of medieval Spain, and how does it change through the Reconquest.” I don’t know why this is so difficult for me so far, but I hope that once I have the right research question everything will be a smooth ride from there.


I am writing about Islamic Spain and the Reconquista of Spain. Catholicism Spain was conquered by Muslims in 700, and was not re-conquered until 1492. When the Christians conquered Spain, it was known as the Reconquista of Spain. I will connect this to Christopher Columbus because after Spain was re-conquered by Christians, Christopher Columbus was sent to the New World.

  3. I think this is an interesting topic. I would love to read the full paper when it is complete! I also think that this topic might be a very good point to argument.
