Centuries after the Spanish Inquisition led to the forced conversion of Jews to Catholicism Not precisely a correct depiction of history.
The Jews in Spain were given the choice of converting to Catholicism or leaving Spain.
The commonly held notion that Jews were tortured and forced to renounce their religion and become Catholics is untrue.

“Centuries after the Spanish Inquisition led to the forced conversion of Jews to Catholicism,”
Nonsense! Jews starting converting many years BEFORE the inquisition was founded in the late 15th century in Spain. Most conversions were in the 13th and 14th centuries. Some Jews converted under feelings of duress, but many converted freely.

Christopher Columbus departed Spain
on the 1st of Av 5252( Aug 3rd, 1492 CE ). This was the last day for all Jews
to leave Spain under pain of death.
Could it be that many of his sailors were Jews.

Hmm...
I assume the use of the word “intermarriage” is used differently than its usual use - to marry someone of a different religion.
Here it must mean marrying within your group. confusing.
