Muslims and Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492 unless they converted to Catholicism. The Kings of Aragon and the Queen of Castille (at the time these two countries represented practically the whole of the current Spain) want their countries to be Catholic.

Persistence drove the Moors from Spain.

Spain was not a unified country when the Moors invaded in 711 AD. Over the next 700+ years the various kingdoms of Spain drove the Moors from the north to the south a piece at a time. Eventually all that was left to the Moors was Granada. The combination of Queen Isabel I of Castile and Leon and King Ferdinand II of Aragon finished the long campaign in 1492 with their defeat of the Moors of Granada.

The event that forced most of the Muslims (Arabs and Amazigh) to leave Spain was the SPANISH INQUISITION and the banning of Islam as an acceptable religion in the late 1400s.
