How did Jews, Muslims, and Christians view the Reconquista? The Inquisition? Why did Ferdinand and Isabella adopt the policy to expel Jews and Moors from the Iberian Peninsula?

What were Spain and Portugal like on the eve of the Encounter? What kinds of encounters were made as a result of the initial Spanish and Portuguese voyages of discovery? As a result of the Encounter, how did the standard of living in Europe, Africa and the Americas change? Why do different interpretations of the Encounter exist? What trading networks already existed in the Indian Ocean before the Portuguese intervened? How did this intervention change this trade? What changes occurred in colonial South America in terms of governing and religious practices? What other political and cultural changes followed. What is the legacy of these changes? What was the connection between the European discovery of the Americas, and later Portuguese claims in East Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Asia? In addition to geographers and historians, why do biologists and immunologists also regard the Encounter an important topic to explore?
