After the reconquesta Spain became less tolerant of their jewish population, with the discovery of the new world they forcibly removed Spains jewish population and made them settle in the island of Cuba. As the Spanish Monarchy gained power over other regions, other jewish populations were forced to move to Cuba. Though non of these forced relocations matched the fleet of tears, over the centuries the Jewish population of Cuba grew, becoming bigger, and more bitter about how the empire treated them. Finally the resentment came to a head during the 1860s when Spain decided to bring up the idea of forcible conversion to Catholicism again.
Five years of brutal war later, the Spanish were kicked off the Island and Cuba became the first Jewish State to exist in centuries, it still exists even now, but what if Spain didn't use Cuba as a dumping ground what if the Island of Cuba didn't become the republic of New Israel as it is known to this day?
