The Crusades’ effect on Spain Christians pushed Muslims and Jews out of
Spain, and Queen Isabella ended the religious tolerance that had been practiced under Muslim rule.
The Church set up the inquisition, a court that tried people accused of heresy. Jews & Muslims guilty of practicing their religions would be punished by government officials. If anyone tried to avoid practicing Christianity,
they would be burned at the stake. 150,000 Muslims & Jews left Spain
