Spain

People often act as if it's a big surprise that 1492 was not only the year Columbus sailed for America from Spain, but also the one where the Jews were expelled from the (relatively new) country. If you are here - and especially if you look at that previous post, and the one about First Turnings - it's not a surprise at all. If anything, it's expected.  If major exploration is being sponsored, chances are potential traitors have been or soon will be pursued, expelled, blacklisted. Or vice versa.

(Yes, the 1492 post is a bit cheeky, placing it as part of the Fourth, since the Reconquista ends at the very start of the year. It pulls the end of the war and the start of exploration together so perfectly, though.)

Does the proposal to grant Jews Spanish citizenship say anything about the Turning there? Perhaps: This sounds like a Third or Fourth Turning event, like woman's suffrage at the start of the 20th century. Alternatives welcomed.
