2025: The Year the Reconquista Began

Future generations will look back at 2025 as the year the Reconquista began—not as a sudden rupture, but as the moment when resistance finally crystallised into action.

History rarely announces itself loudly. It moves through elections, policy reversals, cultural pushback, and the collapse of illusions. In 2025, all of these converged.

The Trigger: A Landslide in the United States

The turning point came with the landslide election victory of Donald Trump as President of the United States. This was not merely an electoral outcome; it was a civilisational signal.

The American electorate did not vote for moderation. It voted for confrontation against ideological overreach, against social engineering, and against a ruling class that had severed itself from the instincts of ordinary people.

From the first days of his return to office, Trump declared open war on liberal orthodoxy. Woke-related legislation was dismantled. Gender and identity dogmas embedded into law and institutions were rolled back. The state withdrew from cultural coercion. Borders were reasserted. Illegal migration was reframed not as a humanitarian abstraction but as a matter of sovereignty, security, and social cohesion.

This was the first breach in the wall.

Russia: Standing Alone Before It Was Fashionable

Before 2025, Russia stood largely alone in openly resisting the ideological direction imposed on Europe and the wider West. While much of the continent surrendered to ultra-liberalism—redefining family, dissolving national identity, and criminalising dissent, Russia positioned itself as a civilisational holdout.

Its confrontation in Ukraine was framed by Western elites in simplistic moral terms, but beneath the slogans lay deeper fault lines: the rejection of imposed cultural nihilism, resistance to militant social liberalism, and opposition to a post-national order hostile to tradition, faith, and family.

Whether acknowledged or not, Russia was fighting on a front most European governments refused even to name.

The War Expands: From America to Europe

By the final quarter of 2025, the scope of Trump’s campaign widened. The fight against liberalism was no longer confined to domestic American policy, it was extended outward, directly challenging the ideological architecture of the European Union. 

Brussels had become the central nervous system of ideological enforcement: exporting identity politics, punishing dissenting governments, weaponising courts and regulations, and promoting social models rejected by growing segments of Europe’s population.

Trump’s posture toward the EU marked a decisive shift. It was no longer treated as a benign partner, but as an ideological actor, one actively destabilising nations through mass migration, cultural radicalism, and technocratic authoritarianism.

This confrontation was not diplomatic theatre. It was a declaration: the age of passive acceptance was over.

A Signal to Moscow—and Beyond

This realignment was also an unmistakable signal of support toward Vladimir Vladimirovich and the broader Russian position in the global ideological struggle.

Not an alliance of convenience, but a convergence of interests: sovereignty over submission, tradition over dissolution, order over managed chaos.

For the first time in decades, the liberal consensus faced organised, state-level resistance from multiple directions.

The Meaning of the Reconquista

The term Reconquista is not accidental. It does not imply conquest, it implies reclamation.

Reclamation of:

• traditional family as the foundation of society

• nationhood as a legitimate political form

• borders as moral necessities

• culture as inheritance, not an obstacle

2025 did not resolve the struggle. But it marked the moment when resistance became coordinated, unapologetic, and irreversible.

History will not remember 2025 as a year of stability. It will remember it as the year the tide turned.
