Eight hundred years
>muslims conquer Spain in eight years
>sp*niards take EIGHT HUNDRED to reverse it
OH NO NO NO
Once again main protags
any armchair historians here who could answer this?
which one was the bigger fuckup, greeks losing anatolia or muslims losing iberia? who had more population/resources/favourable terrain yet still lost their territory?
>Everyday, until you like it
The actual reconquest took about 200 years. It started after the dead of Almanzor in 1002 and was basically over in 1230s. For the next 250 years Granada was Castilian vassal until they chimped out and got stomped.
Definitely Anatolia. Al-Andalus was majority Christian by population. It's incredible how Byzantines managed to lose it. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Inshallah!
You should hear how energetically Muslims talk about al-Andalus
