Al Andalus is one of the most interesting societies in world history. It was an eclectic, diverse society of Muslims, Christians, and Jews living together in relative harmony compared to other regions at the time. It was one of the most advanced societies in Europe for its time, with Cordoba alone being a center of arts, learning, and the highest population in Europe. It was a land where the Arab world met the European world, east meets west. And then, after 600 years, it was gone, swept away by the Reconquista.
How could Al Andalus have continued on into the present? Would it take avoiding it fracturing into the Taifas? What was the best chance for a Muslim Iberia to continue existing to the modern day. What would a still existing Al Andalus look like, and how would that affect the eventual discovery of the New World. Hell, could it butterfly the entire Great Divergence and lead to a less European dominated world?
