Canary Islands, conquest of the

Years: 1402 - 1496

The conquest of the Canary Islands by the Crown of Castille takes place between 1402 and 1496.

It can be divided into two periods, the Conquista señorial, carried out by Castilian nobility in exchange for a covenant of allegiance with the crown, and the Conquista realenga, carried out by the Spanish crown itself, during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs.

"Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe... Yet, clumsily or smoothly, the world, it seems, progresses and will progress."
