- The Last Country in the region of North Africa to fall victim to European Colonization. Follow me as we learn just how contested and fought over this region was as Morocco does everything it can to resist colonization.
Morocco has a fascinating history, its power declined in the 19th century but it was an empire that spanned two continents once
Morocco are also known for ruling iberia for 800 years

why westerners keep getting Morocco's map wrong and always depict it as only the flat land below the atlas mountains, or when they feel generous they add Marakesh and agadir ?
westerners dishonesty, the maps of the Louvre or the battels Morocco had during that time or letters or legal letter of the time prove that these lands were Moroccan, or ffs many of the maps of that time. but alas this persists to now
I really enjoyed your narration of the events, this channel is super underrated
Thank you!!!
Thanks for covering our history, Keep up!
ceuta and melilla are like 3x smaller than you show them; morocco had been raiding ceuta and melilla since the conquest of melilla and the annexing of ceuta from portugal in the 17th century, spain told them to stop, and they didn't, the reason why spain annexed sidi ifni was to compensate the fact they couldn't allow themselves to annex parts of the rif due to the british political pressure.
Great video dude. Can you please tell me where I can find all the paintings and artwork you you used ?
Yahoo images for the most part, mostly time period pieces and a lot by French artists
Truly an interesting video. Watched the whole thing!
Thank you!!!!
A true historian, talking about lesser known history, not like the rest, only Western, big empires histories and totally ignoring small countries history.. Thanks, it was very interesting and educational..
Thank you sir for the kind words as always! The little guys need to be heard as well!
Morocco isn't a little guy, its the oldest kingdom in the world and it faced all worlds power and survived during roman empire and before @@StoicHistorian
but he failed to mention Portugal's legacy in Morocco. the Portuguese empire fought a 350 year war on North African soil, in some of the most horrifically gruesome battles in the history of war. the absolute horror and barbarity in which the Portuguese and Moroccans treated each other is something historians are too ashamed to talk about
@@bconni2 don't forget the Spanish legacy in Makoko, that country was colonized by Portugal but also by Portugal
@@RaefetOuafiqo Makoko was colonized by the Romans man.
Makoko was so weak that Melilla and Ceuta are colonized since 600 years, France colonized Makoko and Makoko never fought France, nor Spain, the pure definition of the weakness. Makoko is the only Kingdom in the world which was founded and always been under the rule of foreigners people from other countries, Makoko was never under the rule of a Morrocan 🇲🇦 🇸🇦🇲🇷🇩🇿 🇵🇹🇪🇦 🇲🇫🇮🇱 🇬🇳🇬🇼 🇲🇦
you didnt mention that France invaded what was ottoman algeria, at that time algeria was part of the ottoman empire. i think the ottoman influence in the region was always quite overlooked
at that time Ottomans were so weak the regional rulers of their Vassals like Algeirs had full control, they only mentioned the Sultan as the Muslim Caliph in mosques after the Friday prayer.
he also failed to mention Portugal's legacy in the Maghreb. they fought a gruesome 350 year holy war in Morocco, as they were the first European power to invade that region, 250 years before Spain & 500 years before France
Aziz looked much too happy to be ascending that throne.
He was a simpleton, they kept him amused w western gadgets.
Once again a good video!
Thanks man really appreciate it!
Great video! You just won a loyal Moroccan subscriber! Keep going!
Thank you! Glad to have ya! Expect a video on Abd el-Krim in the future!
@@StoicHistorian yessir
holly shit dude.. you really dig very deep.. respect
Idk why people say ceuta and Melilia is spanish it was litterly took from Morocco 🇲🇦. In the 15th
I’m moroccan and there’s a lot of historical mistakes specially the maps .
During molay abdarahman’s rule morocco stretched till river senegal gao and Timbuktu south and river tafna in tlemsan east the French campaign started from the southern regions simultaneously with the algerian campaign creating a pincer that took years to complete resulting in Severing morocco from it’s African roots this caused great economic hardship internal discontent which ultimately lead to our loss against the Europeans.
Exactly at 8:25 the city of "Tuat" is located in southern algeria today not near the border
there was also no mention of the Portuguese. they were the first European colonial power to invade Morocco , long before the Spanish and French. .
@@bconni2true, but they only took ports, and they lost all of them.
@@z0rO999 true. but it was a long and gruesome war. 350 years, approximately.
@@bconni2 its more like a pattern of attack lose city to spain, truce for a while, attack back the lost city, and get back to city and repeat.
(The exception are ceuta and melilia, which were easy to defend and supply by the spanish).
But yeah, morocco and the Iberiand werent the best of friends back then.
At least now, they are gonna host a world cup togheter
Good video, I really respect your research and its accurate, but please verifiy the wrong borders, the same dynasty as Abd al Rahman ruled from the north of Morocco to Timbuktu.
Thank you dear brother good job kepp working..( allah bless)

Excellent video, very detailed, objective devoid of the regular imperialist perspective.
Many thanks for this superb piece!
I appreciated your comment” to avenge the murder of 1 man, the French mercilessly killed thousands in Casablanca”.
what's the imperialist perspective.?
when your read history from wikipedia
we need a part 2 bro
It’s coming at some point, can’t leave Abd el krim
can't wait ! and Mohar too from the Rif. @@StoicHistorian
wrong maps of Morocco
23:30 why is the tangier region shaded purple?
It was its own separate “neutral” state, it was in a very strange grey area in terms of being a colony and being part of morroco/France/Spain
@@StoicHistorian thank you so much for the quick answer!
@@freepalestina48 anytime my friend!
it was an International City
Ceuta and Melilla have been Spanish since the 15th century, way before the sultanate of Morocco existed.
It existed there under the Marinid empire. Ceuta and Melilla belonged to the Portuguese (Sebastian) but after they lost the war Against the Saadi's, and Spain took over Portugal they took the lands that were under the Portuguese and there is that.
But to say Morocco didn't exist is just absurd, it may have different type of ruling but it was always Morocco or what is called back then until today (Al-maghrib)
Marinids sultanate: Am I a joke for you?
Different dynasties but still same Sultanate of Morocco.
Shall we claim Spain too, as we ruled there for 800 years, more than you have ruled those tiny areas like Ceuta. Gtfoh. It's Moroccan land.
@@wikiacount8697marinids sultans were not Morrocans but came from Biskra in Algeria. By the way Morocco did not exist at this time.
good stuff
You butchered the maps dude.
That's a great video, as a Moroccan living in France, I learned A LOT and I didn't know how exactly the seizure of power by the europeans happened,
and one history channel underrated added on the list 😮💨
Thank you and welcome!

@@JustinYiseverywhere when are you going to take back what you say is yours ? How is Tindouf ? Not bad the weather there 😂
Great effort but the map of Morocco lack both western and eastern Sahara where the monarch originated
I know man, big regret of mine
@@StoicHistorian nothing to be regretful for ... Your content is informative
The map is butchered in the beginning. Completely wrong. Sijilmassa home of the ruling dynasty wasn't even included in the map.
Yeah literally the home of the rulers
Besides being weak and broke one of the big reasons that forced the Moroccan monarchy to sign the deal of protection with France was that France was a secular Republic. At the same time, the other European Colonial Powers were monarchies, and falling under the control of another monarchy meant the end of you as a monarchy that's why they signed that deal of protection with France making sure that France would protect the Moroccan monarchy from the rebellions inside and other European colonial powers outside.
Addressing the issues of racism in French society, the relationship with capitalist French companies, and the perception of criticizing France, let's analyze these points further.
1. Racism in French Society:
Addressing the issue: Acknowledging the existence of racism in French society is crucial. Efforts should be made to combat systemic issues, promote diverse representation, and foster an inclusive environment. This includes addressing historical injustices, improving access to education and job opportunities, and supporting initiatives that fight against discrimination.
2. Relationship with Capitalist French Companies:
Critiquing Capitalism vs. French Companies: It's essential to differentiate between criticizing the capitalist system and targeting specific French companies. Criticizing the capitalist system can lead to positive changes in business practices, while unfairly targeting French companies may not be productive. Instead, focus on promoting responsible business practices, encouraging transparency, and supporting companies that align with social and environmental values.
3. Perception of Criticizing France:
Constructive Criticism vs. Negativity: Criticizing a country or its policies doesn't necessarily mean being anti-French. It's possible to express concerns about specific issues while still appreciating and respecting French culture, history, and people. Engaging in constructive dialogue and offering suggestions for improvement can lead to a more positive and productive conversation.
In summary, addressing racism in French society requires continuous efforts to promote inclusion and combat systemic issues. In terms of the relationship with capitalist French companies, it's crucial to differentiate between criticizing the system and targeting specific companies. Lastly, criticizing France should not be equated with negativity but rather seen as an opportunity for constructive dialogue and improvement.

Hi man you have to learn more and more about the history of morocco. I'll send you the true maps .
ALWAYS REMEMBER. The best solution not to be being expelled from your overseas conquered lands remains the American Solution: Nobody was left to ask.
oddly enough, you failed to mention Portugal's legacy. for three and a half centuries ,they sent their sons to shed blood in Morocco , as they were the first European colonial power to send major military campaigns into that region of North Africa, approximately 250 years before Spain, and 500 years before France. .
That’s true, but their influence had already dissipated by the 19th century
It was not Morocco vs Spain and France it was vs Europe, when france tried to invade Morocco she got sh*it on and asked for help and you did not mention how many battles france and spain lost vs low in number and not armed army of Morocco
the Portuguese empire was the first European colonial power to invade Morocco. about 250 years before the Spanish and 500 years before the French
@@bconni2 Yes that is true and they lost heavily, Morocco was and still hard nation to invade
@@wasamr4703 for 350 years the kingdom of Portugal and the region that eventually became Morocco, had so many wars and battles . both sides won some and lost some.
Just wrong 😂 it was maghreb vs france and later spain and italy after ww1
Yeah, al Khettabi, Assou Oubaslam, Mouha ou Hamou Zayani, all smoked the Spanish and the french, and they wouldn't have had much power in the country if not for greedy traitors and governor's who allied with them against their own people and knew the country well.
You should do a video on the Rif! My ancestor (my grandfather's uncle) was a Spanish commander of infantry, Miguel Esparza Arteche. According to our family book, he met with Abd el Krim a few times at a café and tried to convince him of Spanish benefits to Rif (Idk, imperialist mindset if you will). Anyway, my great-great uncle was sadly ambushed and killed at Buxada (Melilla) on 15th of Feb 1917. He seemed to have gone in an advanced reconnaissance party which was caught off-guard and took a hit to the chest while on horseback. May he rest in peace. No hard feelings, obviously. A very important event that toppled the Spanish monarchy as Alfonso XIII el Africano was largely to blame for the disaster...
I definitely do plan on making a video about the rif in the future, that’s very interesting, if I remember this I’ll put this somewhere in my notes thank you
I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco in the late 1990s. The Rif region still maintained the reputation as a no-go zone/no man's land for outsiders (colonizers in the '40s and '50s, and European/Western tourists in the '60s till the early '70s!) By the '90s of course, it was all good, but to this day the Rif Region (and the Amazigh locals- known for having red hair and green eyes) is legendary near mythical- The last warrior hold outs who refused to be conquered with the rest of the country. Its beautiful landscape too!
amazigh rifs are never known for having red hair or green eyes, the red hair existed but it wasn't natural it was a dye called el henna that many amazigh women used especially rifians use, green eyes were more common there than any place in morocco because of some roman/european DNA but still its like very rare amoungst rifians, but rifians were known to be beautiful women with dark black hair and amber, brown, black eyes @@juniorjames7076
Viva la riff ♓️💪
Nice playing victim while trying to colonize people, of course they're gonna resist and defend themselves as violently as they have too, the Spanish got smoked if not for the help of the french and the willing surrender of Abd El krim to protect his people of chemical weapons.
Great video of someone finally using the correct Morocco map. Well done!
that's the worst and most wrong Moroccan map I've ever seen
@@Yanzdorloph it’s absolutely beautiful
Spain did not colonize Morocco it was just a France cause Western Sahara 🇪🇭 are not Moroccan but sahrawis
@JustinYiseverywhere never heard of sahrawis. Are you on drugs? Because it is Morocco and from Moroccans my friend.
@@BMC2 in ur dreams no one recognizes ur claims so keep the dreams
Very interesting! I was in Marocco before and this documentary was a very nice explanation to understand the history of this country in a better way.
why did you place sidi ifni in essaouira 😂😂

Spain colonized the rif 😮😢
Problem ?
They colonised Spain for 700 years.
What comes around goes around.
Morroco was the country that first destroyed Africa. Thats how they controlled African Gold.
But they keep quiet about it.
Everyone is no better than anyone else.
now what kind of BS are you saying??? europeans are the ones who destroyed afria and should i remind you that spain stole las islas canarias and completly destroyed the guanche??? awhat about ASIA and SOUTH AMERICA...??? i guess morocco ruling spain was a great karma for all the killings spain did around the world.
At least you admit it, other Spaniards with walnuts for brains insist that Morocco didn't exist before 1956, we know and admit that, I haven't seen a Moroccan deny these historical facts you mentioned, (but to be fair, half of that 700 years was ruled by Arab descends not Moroccans) and I absolutely admit that Almoravids and Almohads were not nice and we're extremists, but history is history no one is an Angel, the Inquisition was also against actual Iberians who converted to Islam (a huge portion WAS Iberians and not just Arabs and Berbers).
Conquered would be better word
Same dif
Your cartography is WRONG!! STOP LYING FOR MONEY!!!
not lying, just messed it up a bit. my apologies
Indeed, Spain and France litteraly created Morroco.
they didn't create morocco dumbass

Why do you show a fake map of Afrika? This video is not correct !
Just didn’t widen the borders south enough, wish I could go back and change it
@@StoicHistorian You could have mentioned this in the title and I think that you still can correct this by mention it in the title. You chose Morocco's history a land which is one of the oldest countries in the world with long and a rich history that this task isn't easy let alone for a non Moroccan who studied Moroccan history.
By the way "Algeria" didn't exist at all only was a largely independent tributary state of the Ottoman Empire during the early modern period, located on the Barbary Coast of North Africa from 1516 to 1830. Area only 300.000km² till Frans came and colonized Algiers and because Morocco was helping Algiers and lost so they took a big part, the Moroccan Eastern sahara which is STILL NOT recognized by Morocco and Morocco still want it's land back. France as an colonizer (132 years) "created" the Frankenstein (parts of Morocco Tunisia and Libia) the fake state which now is called Algeria. The French created a big problem for these countries who still want their land back. Anyway thank you for your respond 🤙
