The Queen Who Built an Empire: Isabella of Castile

She unified Spain, funded global exploration, and reshaped history. Few rulers left a legacy as powerful or as controversial. Isabella I of Castile was one of the most influential rulers in European history. Alongside Ferdinand of Aragon, she helped unify Spain, strengthen royal authority, and lay the foundations of a global empire. This video explores Isabella’s rise to power, her political reforms, and the decisions that defined her reign — from the completion of the Reconquista to the sponsorship of Christopher Columbus’s voyages. Beyond conquest and expansion, the video also examines the darker consequences of Isabella’s rule, including religious persecution, forced conversions, and the long-term impact of imperial policies. Told in a calm, documentary-style narrative, this video looks at Isabella not as a symbol, but as a ruler whose choices shaped the modern world.
