The Crusades brought a sense of religious unity and prosperity to Europe, as Europeans came home with much treasure. In addition to preserving Christianity in the Middle East with the Crusades, many European countries were reconquering their own land for Christianity, most notably Spain. Spain was successful in reconquering the Iberian Peninsula for Christians by expelling all Muslims and Jews (or forcing them to convert), which brought about high self-esteem and wealth for Spain. This is why Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand decided to fund the voyage of Christopher Columbus, really kicking off the Age of Exploration.
