The Granada War (Spanish: Guerra de Granada) was a series of military campaigns between 1482 and 1492 during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella by Castile and Aragon against the Nasrid dynasty's Emirate of Granada. It ended with the total defeat of Granada and its annexation by Castile, ending Muslim rule on the Iberian peninsula and completing the Reconquista. The ten-year war was not a continuous effort: it was a series of seasonal campaigns launched in the spring and postponed in the winter. The Granadans were crippled by internal conflict and civil war; meanwhile the Christians were generally unified. The war also saw the effective use of artillery by the Christians to rapidly conquer towns that would have required a long siege otherwise. The final surrender of the war took place on January 2, 1492, with King Boabdil delivering the keys to the city of Granada from the fortress-palace of the Alhambra. It is still celebrated every year on that date by the City Council of Granada. The war was a joint project between Castile and Aragon, and presaged what would later become the Kingdom of Spain.
