Question: When was the expulsion of Jews from Spain, and the European country that once held the birthplace of Manuel John Johnson as a colony?

the monroe doctrine was a united states policy of opposing european colonialism in the americas beginning in 1823. it stated that further efforts by european nations to take control of any independent state in north or south america would be viewed as ``the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the united states. ''at the same time, the doctrine noted that the u.s. would recognize and not interfere with existing european colonies nor meddle in the internal concerns of european countries. the doctrine was issued on december 2, 1823 at a time when nearly all latin american colonies of spain and portugal had achieved, or were at the point of gaining, independence from the portuguese and spanish empires. <SEP> islam was a widespread religion in what is now spain and portugal for nine centuries, beginning with the umayyad conquest of hispania and ending (at least overtly) with its prohibition by the modern spanish state in the mid-16th century and the expulsion of the moriscos in the early 17th century. although a significant proportion of moriscos returned to spain or avoided expulsion through various means, and the decree never affected the country's large enslaved muslim population, the indigenous practice of islam had faded into obscurity by the 19th century. <SEP> The divisions between all these groups are approximate and their boundaries are not always clear. The Mizrahim for example, are a heterogeneous collection of North African, Central Asian, Caucasian, and Middle Eastern Jewish communities that are no closer related to each other than they are to any of the earlier mentioned Jewish groups. In modern usage, however, the Mizrahim are sometimes termed Sephardi due to similar styles of liturgy, despite independent development from Sephardim proper. Thus, among Mizrahim there are Egyptian Jews, Iraqi Jews, Lebanese Jews, Kurdish Jews, Libyan Jews, Syrian Jews, Bukharian Jews, Mountain Jews, Georgian Jews, Iranian Jews and various others. The Teimanim from Yemen are sometimes included, although their style of liturgy is unique and they differ in respect to the admixture found among them to that found in Mizrahim. In addition, there is a differentiation made between Sephardi migrants who established themselves in the Middle East and North Africa after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal in the 1490s and the pre-existing Jewish communities in those regions. <SEP> He was born in Macao, China, the son of John William Roberts of the East India Company and was educated at Mr Styles' Classical Academy in Thames Ditton and at the Addiscombe Military Seminary for service in the East India Company (the HEIC). <SEP> Macau was administered by the Portuguese Empire and its inheritor states from the mid-16th century until late 1999, when it constituted the last remaining European colony in Asia. Portuguese traders first settled in Macau in the 1550s. In 1557, Macau was leased to Portugal from Ming China as a trading port. The Portuguese Empire administered the city under Chinese authority and sovereignty until 1887, when Macau became a colony through a mutual agreement between the two countries. Sovereignty over Macau was transferred back to China on 20 December 1999. The Joint Declaration on the Question of Macau and Macau Basic Law stipulate that Macau operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2049, fifty years after the transfer.
