Isabella and Ferdinand needed money to fund Columbus' voyage. That was part of the reason they decided to force the Jews to leave without any belongings and then steel the belongings to fund the voyage.

Muslims and Jews (Non Catholics in general). Those who wanted to stay had to forcibly convert to Catholicism or face expulsion.

The early Rock and Roll song "Timing" helped me get this answer. "Who in the world would ever know what Columbis would do, if Queen Isabella hadn't hocked her jewels in 1492?" I knew about Columbus, of course, but had no idea about her anti semitism.
