Which of the following was the goal of the Reconquista?

A.

to take back the Holy Land

B.

to unite Spain and Portugal

C.

to drive the Muslims from Spain

D.

to drive the Muslims out of the Byzantine empire

I think the answer is D.

The correct answer is C.

Muslims arrived in the Iberian Peninsula (where the current countries of Spain and Portugal are located nowadays) in the year 711. In 10 years they managed to conquer almost its whole territory.

Some territories remained unconquered in the North and its poblators started the Reconquista in 722 in the Batlle of Covadonga. The Reconquista process would last many centuries. The last Muslim reign was defeated in 1942, when the Catholic Monarchs expelled Boabdil from Granada.
