The Catholic Kingdom started a program to get any other beliefs apart from catholicism out of Spain. Most Jews were forced out of the country.

At that time Isabella and Ferdinand ruled Spain.
The Jews had 3 options:
1) Become Christians. Some did become Christians and stayed that way also in the future. Some became Christians and practice Judaism secretly.
2) Die.
3) Leave Spain. A lot did in 1492 and migrated all over the world: Europe, Muslim Countries and afterwords (when discovered) to the Americas.
This also explains why the Jews needed a country. They were expelled (at some point from England, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain) or persecuted (West and East Europe) or murdered (Germany and Poland - Holocaust) wherever they were. Sad!

Hard to believe in today's world, but in the past Muslims were often more tolerant of Jews than Christians. Before the fall of Muslim Spain, Jews had to pay a special tax, but could worship as they pleased. As other posters have said, this changed after 1492.

Rome went from being a pagan anti-Christian, anti-Hebrew nation (from 33 C.E to 70 C.E. Note: Over 80% of the Christians were Jews) to a quasi-religious country by the middle of the Fourth century. According to the prophetic blueprint of Solomon's Temple, "the profane" would be allowed to work on the 4th tier. God gave us another prophetic look at how they would change the pigmentation and image of Jesus by having Rebecca change the appearance of the covenant seed "Isaac." Since God has established a procedure for events happening more than once with His covenant people, a church, outside of His covenant would change the appearance of His Hebrew seed. Since Gentiles looked different from the ancient Hebrews, they painted away Jeshua' Hebrew ness (Jeremiah 8:21 - For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black) and banished all Hebrews back to their continent. Pope Fernan Martins V signed a Papal decree in 1493. It said in no uncertain terms that the Jews must go back to Africa from whence they originated--Amos 9:7.
Immediately after that, "Racial prejudice' became institutionalized and all Rome's seed (France, Holland, Spain, Germany, Portugal, England and America) fulfilled the prophecies of Nahum 3:10 - "Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains."
After that the world got turned upside down, the former Gentile nations began teaching that they were chosen and superior and that God's people were inferior. They burned books, confiscated property and seed of mighty kings, carved up their lands, took their precious minerals and worked without pay for 400 years. To this date the symbol of justice, the United Nations, never brought those violations to the table. Isn’t it ironic that the nations that committed those atrocities use human rights violations as their main criterion for withholding the "unjust gain" and "unrighteous mammon" from the same countries whose resources they removed surgically? Beside those, our educational disciplines were reconstructed and skewed to include such disciplines as "evolution." Allegedly we climbed the evolutionary ladder. So the earliest people supposedly look and behave like apes and we have evolved into higher species. Since it gives us an air of superiority, we feel comfortable accepting such without scrutiny. Through a system of organized cloning, we produced new races with new philosophies and new religions. Satan is having a ball.

Does it have anything to do with the Zoroastrian being stapled to a chicken?
