The moroccans were quite independent throughout history, they also were a bit racist against the turks and didn't accept thr fact that people who came from middle Asia could be kaliphate and rule muslims. That's why Moroccans fought them and wanted to take over the kaliphate, they didn't succeed to follow them kick them out ifEgypt as they claimed but they kicked them out of their borders.

In regards to the question of the end of the video. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Scotland and their attempt to colonize Panama that was cut short by malaria and a storm sinking a large portion of their fleet. Malaria is no joke I had it once and nearly died The thought of having to work a ship or guard a camp in an inhospitable jungle populated by hostile natives Is almost unfathomable. It really brings into context how tough these explorers and settlers were. As a side note I'm not a religious person, but a Mormon priest gave me a blessing and I recovered almost immediately... So make of that what you will I guess.

@@Newbmann nice pun my guy. They controlled Zanzibar and some of the surrounding coast if I recall. I don’t know the full history but I know that many Arabic states had control of much of the coast because of trade and such

@@azmanabdula I think it was mostly about getting profit (slave trade and drugs trade came next). And it also enforced the rival of English rivals. The participation of English people in creating Persian musketeers units at the same time is another interesting story.

08:07 “Al-manaour often called Elizabeth the sultana” 😅😂🤣
Was this supposed to be a compliment? Maybe she took it the wrong way and thought he was bantering her for being a ginger.
Sultan is just the arabic version of king, and Sultana is Queen, so you can also say Elizabeth the Sultana :D
@@عثمان-و9س
Nope in Arabic kings is "Malik"
Sultan is more like "Emperor"
imagine if the plague never happened. the americas split between england morocco and spain. moroccan superpower? imagine, just imagine :O
Morocco would at war with mali songhai and the rest of sub saharan Africa especially when morocco captured timbuktu
Its truly sad how Morrocco was let down by its corrupted continent and colonization, even with all of this its somehow thriving though which is also really impressive but if Morocco was located elsewhere I bet it would of been a force to be reckoned with.
You are misinformed about human nature. Geographic location is irrelevant. Morocco was an imperial power and will be again in a hundred years. It's not geography that makes an imperial power, its people do.
I like this new style you are using in this videos! Keep up this great work!
This is pretty accurate, big up from morocco ❤️🇲🇦
the Abbasid caliphs did still used the title of caliphs in Mamluk Qairo so it was in use & it there is no gap between sack of Baghdad & sack of Qairo.
this is very true
not in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries

Al mansur not only destroy two empires it was also responsible for destruction of first portagease empire in the battle of alcazer in 1578 AD when portagease try a crusade on them it also defeat ottoman invasion so this will tell us morroco during the time of Ahmad al mansur was really a powerful empire

You really deserve way more views and patreon supporters. You are doing what I think a good historian should do - exposing us to cool stories with the context behind them. There are some historian channels that bait people by going into technical details of tanks or something, while having no engineering understanding, and getting most things wrong, and basically misleading people with their arrogance, but your model I think is perfect.

Damn! If that plague didn't take place the world history would have completely changed.
Fun fact, the plague kept coming again and again in Morocco until the 19th century always followed by big famines, further degrading the Moroccan state, its centralization of power, its culture..etc untill the french came

The Latvians certainly had a go in the Courland days. Never really became overly established but did manage to have some colonial endeavours for a time.
The latvians took 13k slaves from us
It was actually Germans who lived in Latvia, not Latvians who controlled Courland
If that happened the native Americans would survive

In regards to the question of the end of the video.
The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Scotland and their attempt to colonize Panama that was cut short by malaria and a storm sinking a large portion of their fleet.
Malaria is no joke I had it once and nearly died
The thought of having to work a ship or guard a camp in an inhospitable jungle populated by hostile natives Is almost unfathomable. It really brings into context how tough these explorers and settlers were.
As a side note I'm not a religious person, but a Mormon priest gave me a blessing and I recovered almost immediately... So make of that what you will I guess.
I prefer the older format in regards to the intro and animation
😢They almost conquest the America but they had to take spain and portugal to access america. ahmed al mansur was just starting a plan about it to take spain but he sadly died of the sickness and that's the why saadi dynasty fall...

I would encourage you to do a video about the Great Bullion Droughts and the effects they had on europe. Other histories do not cover that influence on history.
Hi @Jabzy amazing video, subscribed! Also, to your final question, could you cover Mecican attempt to unify central america after independence?
It's weird how they had the best position to colonize the Americas but never even tried. Even after the knowledge that there were lands on the other side of the ocean reached them
the ottomans tried to occupy from the east and the Spaniards from the north all the sultans of morocco knew that if they sent armies to colonize america morocco will be easy prey so it wasn't possible unless one of the enemies were defeated
castile had too powerfull navy
And America had it's first outside territory in Morocco which remains American soil to this day ❤

Sir, you've made me cry with pride.
Sweden, but I think you’ve done that. Would you be interested in just looking into either the Swedish Gold Coast or New Sweden? Perhaps the time when Karl XII expanded Sweden. I believe you’ve done that as well but only in the shorter format.
Actually The Moroccan destroyed 3 empires, The Portugueses Empire, Songhai Empire and Mali Empire...
Mali empire was already gone it was the Songhai empire they attack and good timing because they were in a civil war between brothers. So nobody was working together.

the mali empire was in decline but not gone, in fact you could search about battle of djene moroco vs mali...
@@mohamedred5746 yea but they were weak because of no leadership same for Songhai. The brothers were fighting each other to rule the region. But Morocco ended up leaving due to control of the region and they had already took books and scholars with them.

Moroccan arabic is different from arabic in the east, besides all Moroccan cities are with Amazigh names so if Morocco succeeded you'll have berber or Moroccan arabic names instead

Sweden did set up a colony in New Jersey. If Peter the Great had died in the first battle he fought with Charles of Sweden, then Sweden would likely have been as powerful as Austria at least. Denmark also had some colonies in the Caribbean.

The Moroccan king asked English Queen for cooperation in conquering America but the one who got the land in America was English and Morocco still struggled for their land in North Africa.
Asked which Queen? England was ruled by king George the third during the colonisation of America. Think it's best you do research before making baseless claims
@@UICeinnselaig King George III was King during the USA independence war not colonisation of the Americas, I think you're the one who needs to do research...
@@Threezi04 the war of independence was thought between Britain and the 13 colonies meaning until 1776 America was still under colonisation. The revolutionary war didn't start until 1775 king George reigned from 1760. So it's you who needs to research.
