===Denial of the Muslim conquest of the Iberian peninsula===

A spin-off of the vision of history espoused by the "inclusive [[Spanish nationalism]]" built in opposition to the [[National Catholicism|National-Catholic]] brand of Spanish nationalism, it was first coined by [[Ignacio Olagüe]] (a dilettante historian connected to the early [[Spanish fascism]]) particularly in the former's 1974 work ''La revolución islámica en Occidente'' ("The Islamic revolution in the West").<ref name=garciasanjuan /> Olagüe argued that it was impossible for [[Arabs]] to have invaded Hispania in 711 since they had not yet established their dominance over the neighbouring part of [[North Africa]]. Instead, Olagüe held that the events of 711 could be explained as skirmishes involving allied North African troops within the context of a civil war pitting Catholic Goths led by [[Roderic]] against Goths adhering to some form of [[Arianism]] and a largely-[[nontrinitarian]] Spanish population, including [[Nestorians]], [[Gnostics]] and [[Manichaeans]]. The negationist postulates of Olagüe were later adopted by certain sectors within [[Andalusian nationalism]].<ref name=garciasanjuan /> These ideas were resurrected in the early 21st century by the Arabist Emilio González Ferrín.<ref name=garciasanjuan>{{Cite journal|first=Alejandro|last=García Sanjuán|title=La creciente difusión de un fraude historiográfico: la negación de la conquista musulmana de la península ibérica|journal=Vínculos de Historia|issn=2254-6901|issue=7|year=2018|pages=173–193|doi=10.18239/vdh_2018.07.10|hdl=10272/16207|author-link=Alejandro García Sanjuán|publisher=[[Universidad de Huelva]]|location=Huelva|doi-broken-date=1 November 2024|url=http://rabida.uhu.es/dspace/bitstream/handle/10272/16207/La%20creciente.pdf?sequence=2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://elpais.com/elpais/2018/04/06/hechos/1523043230_705992.html|website=[[El País]]|title=El "fraude" que intenta tergiversar la historia de Al Andalus|first=Patricia R.|last=Blanco|date=9 April 2018}}</ref>
