History

The Other 1492: Ferdinand, Isabella, and the Making of an Empire uses this critical year in Western history as a focal point to follow the events that enabled Spain to become an empire. Guided by Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, an authority on Spanish history, these lectures paint an engaging portrait of 1492 as the centerpiece of the transformation of Spanish society by tying together several key themes including the rise of Catholic monarchs, the end of pluralism, and the discoveries of Christopher Columbus. You'll quickly discover that there is a 1492 different from the one of most of us were taught—one that is more complex and more complete.
