In what way did the Spanish Reconquista relate to the Spanish conquest of the Americas? 1. The conquest of the Americas was an extension of how the Spanish conquered more land during the Reconquista. 2. The Reconquista convinced Spanish missionaries to avoid trying to convert Native Americans to Catholicism. 3. The Reconquista triggered a burdening overpopulation in Spain that only new conquests could resolve. 4. The most adept military leaders refused to go to the New World so they could continue the Reconquista. Please Help!!!
