Again, the family was forced to convert or else be killed or put in exile.

They chose life in the New World.

All of that was part of the actual, real Spanish Inquisition.

And Spain agrees, while you say Spain is wrong to admit such a thing.

Under Spanish Law Converso we’re forbidden from going to the New World. That is ridiculous in scale.

In 13-1600’s Travel to the New world was also far more costly than other countries.

They went to other parts of Europe, not the New World.

No, Spain doesn’t really agree. See for yourself: https://www.exteriores.gob.es/Consulados/losangeles/es/Comunicacion/Noticias/Documents/BillGrantingSpanishCitizenship%20(2).pdf

The issue was the CROWN forcing Jews out of Spain, not the Spanish Inquisition.

And now the Spanish government is backing out: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/24/world/europe/spain-jews-citizenship-reparations.html

But you would believe the virtue signaling Spanish socialists wouldn’t you?
