Around the time that marks the beginning of the High Middle Ages, the various realms that formed the Catholic north began to take shape, this was the starting point upon which the eventually six most representative nations of the Iberian Peninsula would appear: the Castilians, based around the Kingdom of Castille; the Galeo-leonese, members of the Kingdom of Leon; the Catalans, inhabitants of the Kingdom of Aragon; the Basque, living in the Kingdom of Navarra; the Andalusian, ruling the Kingdom of Granada; and, the Portuguese, natives of the Kingdom of Portugal. It must be noted however that because of the unions (yes, unions) between Castille and Leon shortened the term from six to Five Kingdoms, four Christian and one Muslim. One of the misconceptions of the Reconquista is that it was a purely Spanish business while the truth was that all of the listed realms participated in the fight against the Muslim dukes in the Iberian soil with some finishing their own fight long before the fall of Granada like Portugal or Aragon.

However, the Christian kingdoms were not without their own bickering. In 1475, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Castilian_Succession War of the Castilian Succession]] erupted after the death of Henry IV of Castile, and was fought between his daughter Joanna (married to Alfonso V of Portugal) on one hand, and his half-sister Isabella (married to Ferdinand II of Aragon) on the other hand. Their showdown at the Battle of Toro proved to be inconclusive, but Isabella and Ferdinand gained a series of political victories through careful diplomacy and scheming, resulting in the Treaty of Alcáçovas, which recognized Isabella as the Queen of Castile and thus the unification of the crowns of Aragon and Castile into Spain, and paved the way to the eventual conquest of Granada and the beginnings of the Spanish Empire. Portugal, on the other hand, was recognized by the treaty as its own independent power, with its own colonial empire and sphere of influence.

The fall of the Almohad caliphate incidentally lead to a decline in Muslim power through out the Iberian Peninsula. Having broken up again into several Taifas, the Muslims were fractured while the Christians were more unified which allowed them to control their territory bit by bit. Portugal completed the Reconquista by seizing the region of Algarves, while [[UsefulNotes/TheCatholicMonarchs the kingdom of Castille and Aragon conquered the Emirate of Granada]], the last remaining Islamic kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula. It was seen as a counterbalance to UsefulNotes/TheFallOfConstantinople a few decades prior.
Nevertheless, the Reconquista's impact cannot be understated: it was one of the most successful Crusades - more so than the ones in the Middle-East - and the Iberian nations were the first ones to fund explorers searching for alternate routes to India, starting the Age of Discoveries and subsequent colonization of UsefulNotes/TheAmericas
