Hello, it is Elizabeth here, and today I want to talk to you about Social Sciences 5, Unit 6, Lesson 2.

2
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:16,789
So now we are on to talking about who were the Catholic Monarchs.

3
00:00:17,489 --> 00:00:21,170
So who were they? We will find out today.

4
00:00:21,929 --> 00:00:27,129
Alrighty, so how did Fernando and Isabel become Monarchs?

5
00:00:27,129 --> 00:00:30,309
And you're probably wondering, who are these people?

6
00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:32,509
These are these people.

7
00:00:32,509 --> 00:00:34,630
This is Isabel and this is Fernando

8
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:37,649
and they are the Catholic Monarchs.

9
00:00:37,649 --> 00:00:38,969
But how'd they get there?

10
00:00:38,969 --> 00:00:40,409
Hmm, okay.

11
00:00:40,409 --> 00:00:45,409
So it all started with Enrique, the King of Castilla.

12
00:00:46,750 --> 00:00:51,750
And he named Isabel as his heir to the throne.

13
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:55,549
So when he died, and let's look at our timeline.

14
00:00:55,549 --> 00:00:57,130
When did he die?

15
00:00:57,130 --> 00:01:02,130
In 1478, Isabel declared that she was queen.

16
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:10,170
But there were some problems because Juana, Enrique's daughter, she thought that she should be queen.

17
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:14,269
So their supporters had a war.

18
00:01:15,290 --> 00:01:20,609
And in 1479, Isabel won the war.

19
00:01:20,609 --> 00:01:30,849
and in that same year her husband Fernando became the king of Aragon. Alrighty so now

20
00:01:30,849 --> 00:01:40,030
what did the Catholic monarchs do? What did they even do? Okay so first they united Castilla and

21
00:01:40,030 --> 00:01:48,010
Aragon to form one big kingdom. This increased their power. Then they created a modern state

22
00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:56,890
with many officials then they conquered granada from the muslims in 1492. this was the end of the

23
00:01:56,890 --> 00:02:09,289
reconquista they expanded their kingdom to include the canary islands melilla and navarra all right

24
00:02:09,289 --> 00:02:15,210
they also gave money to christopher columbus for his voyage to discovery

25
00:02:15,210 --> 00:02:24,069
so now we will talk about what was the spanish inquisition fernando and isabel were very

26
00:02:24,069 --> 00:02:32,229
intolerant towards the other religions and wanted religious unity so they established the inquisition

27
00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:41,969
in 1478 this means that they had special powers to find people who did not follow the catholic

28
00:02:41,969 --> 00:02:54,349
religion this resulted in people being arrested tortured killed interrogated and in 1492 the

29
00:02:54,349 --> 00:03:04,689
jewish people were even expelled from the kingdom all right let's review enrica juana fernando and

30
00:03:04,689 --> 00:03:11,629
isabel and these two are our catholic monarchs all right thank you see you next time

31
00:03:11,969 --> 00:03:12,090
Thank you.
