    This led directly to pogroms and mass expulsions

    There's this spanish "historical" drama series about the lives of the Catholic Monarchs during and post-Reconquista where they depict the expulsion of Jewish people from Spain after centuries of (relative) tolerance from the Muslim Moors.

    They depict Queen Isabella as being "forced" to expulse all the Jews and feeling really bad about it and tearfully saying goodbye to her Jewish physician who saved her son's life. And there's absolutely eyerolling scene of her tearfully contemplating the expulsion of Jews as a failure on her part but one that was unavoidable.

    Meanwhile IRL, Queen Isabella was probably the most enthusiastic antisemite who didn't give a fuck about about the consequences to herself or the country even when that expelled Jewish diaspora became pirates down the line (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_pirates#Iberian_Jewish_pirates) as a consequence of being forced out of their homeland while having their wealth confiscated, and even when the expulsions meant that several professions suddenly had zero people to work on (silk making for example in Spain completely disappeared with the expulsion of Jews and Muslim Moriscos leading to Italy becoming the top producer of silk in Spain) it didn't matter to her because of how antisemitic she was.

        It was the TV-equivalent of Americans painting the Native American Genocide as nothing more than misunderstandings and tragic (but necessary) events towards aMeRiCaN gReAtNeSs
