Did the moors afect the Spanish gene pool?

Bump

nah

it took a lot because it wasn't a christians vs moors war until the end, it was more like a bunch of Kingdoms fighting each other, also sweet Granada money

barely, only a bit noticeable in the area around Granada

the whole situation was kind of a stalemate until the collapse of the calliphate of Cordoba(early 11th century), which shattered into feuding taifas. Then the Christian states on performed the good old smash and grab and started gobbling up territory from the taifas. The taifas were worried and moors invited the berber almoravid empire from morroco who swiftly conquered the remaining taifas. From that point on it was full damage control mode for the moors, they had lost their independence to the berbers.The Almoravids would be taken over by the Almohads and they too would continue the fight but almost all territory outside of the emirate of granada would be permanently lost by 1250. There would still be attempts to reconquer spain though.
The emirate of granada kept existing but this was largely because the christian kingdoms thought maintaining it would pull Islamic commerce to the peninsula.

That is a historicist painting about the Aragonese Crusade.

Iberian Reconquista**

>the compromise of caspe elected a castillian faggot

May anyone explain more?

>Were all the muslims killed?
No. At first they were allowed to remain quietly Muslim, but as the Reconquista became total, tolerance evaporated. They generally were forced to either convert or GTFO. Most chose the latter option, going to Morocco and Algeria, but some also went to Egypt, Iraq, etc.

>Why did it take so long for the Christians to defeat the moors?
They were pretty weak, and disunited.

Obviously yes, but not as great as one would expect, since cross-faith marriages were basically forbidden, and converting still left you under great scrutiny. Most muzzies just left.

do you think Euro's are superhumans who can defeat anyone effortlessly or something?

Muslims in the beginning of the Middle Ages were powerful as hell while Christianity was a chaotic mess especially in Iberia. As the Caliphate declined Christiandom became more stable and the many Christian states in the Iberia became three states and finally fused into two as they kicked them out.

The Islamic """Golden Age""" is a myth. All of their success came from their geographic position ideal for trade routes which brought new ideas to them.

Europeans discovered the new world. That gave them a strong advantage. The real question is, why were Europeans the first to industrialize? That was the game changer for Euros.

>why were the euros first to industrialize
because other places in the world were far more stable and had access to relatively large groups of artisans who produced goods?

WUZ

>all of their success
So they were successful, and were the hosts of much progress? Geez, user, that sounds like a Golden Age.

The moors were black. Iberia was doing great till the white barbarians pushed them out.

God you make it fucking easy

>b-but we discovered the new world!

doesn't say much about Spain in the middle ages.

Such as? Many of the examples of the greatest that came out of the """golden age""" were either; truly Islamic, but didn't actually discover or invent the thing, but translated it into Arabic and transmitted and interpreted the knowledge that was already discovered and invented

Or

The Islamic invaders kept some alive who were would either convert due to necessity or keep their faith but were forced to pay the tax thing (jizyah I think? Idk)

The Moors were well orginized and ruthless. They'd leave piles of spanish skulls that you couldn't even see over while on horse back. That and they would economically/militaristically neuter non muslims. It was a shitty situation. Plus the moors were even raiding france. The main reason the spanish pushed them out was because they were tired of being treated like shit.
