Jews to be expelled from Spain

In Spain, a royal edict is issued by the nation's Catholic rulers
declaring that all Jews who refuse to convert to Christianity
will be expelled from the country. Most Spanish Jews chose exile
rather than the renunciation of their religion and culture, and
the Spanish economy suffered with the loss of an important
portion of its workforce. Many Spanish Jews went to North Africa,
the Netherlands, and the Americas, where their skills, capital,
and commercial connections were put to good use. Among those who
chose conversion, some risked their lives by secretly practicing
Judaism, while many sincere converts were nonetheless persecuted
by the Spanish Inquisition. The Spanish Muslims, or Moors, were
ordered to convert to Christianity in 1502.
