Why were the Jews expelled from Spain?

Question

What were their reasons?
Where did they go?
Were there any allowed to stay?

Answer 1

Because they were Jews. And not "us". Also they had many political connections with the recently expunged Muslim kingdoms. Mostly because they were foreign and not Catholic. The unification of the various kingdoms of what was to be Spain, was something of a crusade. Those who converted to Christianity (conversos) were allowed to remain.
Many went to various North African and southern Mediterranean destinations where they continued in the functions, businesses and professions they followed prior to the expulsion. Many, as might be expected, died during their flight.

Answer 2

An Edict of Expulsion issued in 1492 ordered all Jews of whatever age to leave the kingdom by the last day of July (Tisha B'Av), but permitted them to remove their property provided it was not in gold, silver, or money. The reason alleged for this action in the preamble of the edict was the relapse of so many "conversos," owing to the proximity of unconverted Jews who seduced them from Christianity and kept alive in them the knowledge and practises of Judaism. No other motive is assigned, and there is no doubt that the religious motive was the main one.

Answer 3

The reason that Jews were expelled is because many were masquerading as Catholic priests and Queen Isabella in an effort to keep the Catholic faith pure and not defiled by the lies of these 'priests' she expelled them. Many went to Russia where they were happily accepted and formed what is later known as Bolsheviks, which prompted the October Revolution of 1917.
Those that were allowed to stay, and we're talking of the fake priests, had to convert or be expelled, some did; many did not.

When the spanish inquisition was set up by the king/queen of Spain.During this period moors,jews and protestants were persecuted.Not only them but anyone deemed not to be a devout roman catholic.Many jews renounced thier faith to be able to stay.People were burned alive for not believing in the true faith.The jews who left went mainly to France and holland.Not only were all religions driven from Spain,The inquisition even dug the corpses up of non believers and burned them.As they(the dead)were unfit to lie in hallowed ground
