+The conquest of the Canary Islands was the process by which this archipelago, inhabited by aboriginal peoples, was incorporated by military occupation to the Crown of Castile throughout the 15th century.
+Two stages can be distinguished in this process: the stately conquest, carried out by the nobility in exchange for a vassalage pact, and the royal conquest, carried out directly by the Crown during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs.
+The islands are known from antiquity, when they were inhabited by the Canarian Aborigines. From the 16th century on, Europeans became interested in the archipelago again, the conquest of which began in 1402 (with the expedition of the Normans Jean de Bethencourt and Gadifer de la Salle). A second stage of the conquest, the conquest of realengo, was initiated by the Crown of Castile in 1477.
+After the Spanish conquest, human and cultural miscegenation gave rise to modern Canarian society. The beginning of the 18th century is characterized by a series of pirate attacks, which did not invade any island.
+Currently the Canary Islands are an Autonomous Community of Spain, divided into two provinces, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
