1492 A critical year in Jewish history
The Expulsion of Jews from Spain was the expulsion from Spain following the Alhambra Decree in 1492, which was enacted in order to eliminate their influence on Spain’s large converso population and to ensure its members did not revert to Judaism. Many Jews in Spain either converted or were expelled. The resulting expulsion led to mass migration of Jews from Spain.
