Of all the African nations the closest to Europe, Morocco always was the target of European expansion. As early as 1253, Genoa acquired Safi in Morocco. During 1331-51, Abu al-Hasan 'Ali reigned in Morocco. He conquered Tlemcen (Algeria) in 1337 and even managed to extend Morocco's rule to Tunisia in 1347-57. Later, his empire would fall apart again, though. 1381, Portugal conquered the city of Ceuta, and not to be outdone, Castille attacked Morocco in 1384, conquered Melilla and Tétouan.

  • Of all the African nations the closest to Europe, Morocco always was the target of European expansion. As early as 1253, Genoa acquired Safi in Morocco. During 1331-51, Abu al-Hasan 'Ali reigned in Morocco. He conquered Tlemcen (Algeria) in 1337 and even managed to extend Morocco's rule to Tunisia in 1347-57. Later, his empire would fall apart again, though. 1381, Portugal conquered the city of Ceuta, and not to be outdone, Castille attacked Morocco in 1384, conquered Melilla and Tétouan. But the fate of Morocco was sealed in 1430: To get rid of the mighty nobles in Castille, king Pedro III told them to go on a crusade to Morocco, which was subjugated during the next 20 years. The country was redivided into fiefs of the mighty families, and the Castillians did everything to rechristianize it. After the Castillian conquest, some Moroccans started to flee South, to Mauretania or even Timbuktu. In the 1440s, the Portuguese started slave trade between Africa and Atlantis. But this time, the slaves were mostly captured Muslims from Morocco. Castillian settlers took their places.
