Timeline of the Reconquista > 
European Voyages of Exploration: Iberia was invaded in 711 by Muslim armies that succeeded in conquering most of the southern regions of the peninsula within seven years. This began a 700-year intermittent struggle for control over Iberia between the Christians and the Muslims who inhabited the southern portion. The most active years of conflict were between 850 and 1250. During this period the struggles were named the Reconquista and were accompanied by the religious zeal of the crusades.
