Historically speaking, the "Reconquista" was the Catholic movement in Spain under Los Reyes Catolicos (Ferdinand and Isabel) to expel the Islamic Moors from Spain. It was a very bloody war and only ended after years of struggle when the final Moor stronghold of La Alhambra was taken by Spanish forces.

Pearson is trying to be poetic here, but there's nothing for him to "reconquer" as he will no doubt once again target France and England, which were never Spain's and never will be.
