Answer:

The brief war fought against the Spanish Navy and land forces in 1898 established the United States as a global, major navy and military power.

The war was fought in Cuba - the Caribbean - and in the Pacific. If a century before American governments were not willing to join wars among European powers and pursued a cautious diplomacy, full industrialization, territorial expansion and a fantastic growth of economic might made the United States a player in world affairs to be reckoned with a century later. That´s why the Spanish-American war is a turning point in American history: the US would play a large role in world affairs from that moment on.

How did the desire of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to unify Spain affect the Jews and Muslims who lived there?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Ferdinand of Aragon marries Isabella of Castile in Valladolid, thus beginning a cooperative reign that would unite all the dominions of Spain and elevate the nation to a dominant world power. Ferdinand and Isabella incorporated a number of independent Spanish dominions into their kingdom and in 1478 introduced the Spanish Inquisition, a powerful and brutal force of homogenization in Spanish society. In 1492, the reconquest of Granada from the Moors was completed, and the crown ordered all Spanish Jews to convert to Christianity or face expulsion from Spain. Four years later, Spanish Muslims were handed a similar order.
