morocco spain border inside 2018

big shame to morrocan mans and their king

Did you know that the kingdom of Morocco was the first nation to recognise the USA as a state..almost 300 years ago and the only Arab country that the Ottomans could not put a hand on..?
And what shame are you talking about when Moroccan police are arresting these contraband women who harm the economy by bringing in Spanish products to compete with the local manufacturers without going through customs..

 

[SALMAN F]

how much KSA gave them ?

Last year they were mad because Saudis gave billions to trump and not to their homosexual king

@Ceylal

It seems the the strategic ally is angry because he didn't get his share from the from the rice because trump ate all if it that's why his dogs in the media starting to criticize the Saudis and even qoute from the saudi opposition saad al faqih

Morocco's survival depends on the GCC. So M6 saw an occasion to pleasure the Sauds and flew with it..But he accuse the Embassy of Iran in Algeria, but the one they have in Rabat, for facilitating arms transfer to the Polisario..Polisario had those arms in the late 70's from Lybia..and then to include Hizbollah in training the Polisario..The Polisario has a full fledged experience army that tore up the Moroccan forces to peaces, why do they need Hizbollah to train them in a desert warfare while Lebanon has no desert!
Algeria's policies toward Morocco will change dramatically...Not good for them..I think Polisario is going to capitalized with some Pantsir, fuch and sophisticated MLRS systems and I don't think Algeria will stop them, like she did before, if they want to resume fighting!

Wrong.

"Ottomans invaded Morocco in 1554 and the result was: The capture of Moroccan capital, Fes.

The Ottomans led an invasion along with several thousand Moroccans led by a survivor from the Wattasid Dynasty. The Ottomans successfully took Fes and instead of conquering Morocco, they put the Wattasid sultan back in power as they hoped to turn Morocco into a vassal state.

The capture of Fes made Sultan Mohammed realize that Morocco wasn’t as invincible as he thought. As a result, he sent envoys in Spain seeking to form an unholy anti-Ottoman alliance."

What are you talking about my friend.. you did not know that the Moroccan army fought in Egypt and Syria against Usrael in 1973..

Wrong.

Wrong,

In the early 1500s, Catholic Portugal conquered sea towns in Morocco (e.g. Ceuta) and slaughtered local Muslims for being infidels and established small colonies.

Portuguese possessions in Morocco

As a result, the ruling Wattasid Dynasty was seen as weak and ineffective and popular discontent exploded into a religious revolt when the founder of the Saadi Dynasty claimed God told him in a dream that He had chosen him to conquer Morocco and defeat the Portuguese.
The religious revolt was lead by Sufi mujihadeen and angry peasants resulting the Saadis amassing a large army of over 40,000 men.

The Wattasids were too weak to stop the Portuguese & the Saadis at the same time and thus begged the Ottomans to help them. The Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificient agreed but was unable to send troops as a revolt sparked in Algeria at the same time.
Thus the Saadi Dynasty succeeded in taking over Morocco and wiping out the Wattasids.

• Morocco invades Ottoman Algeria (1551)

However the Saadi Dynasty never forgave the Ottomans for allying with the Wattasids and thus Sultan Mohammed of Morocco decided to launch an invasion against Ottoman Algeria in 1551. As he was drunk on success and believed Morocco could crush the Ottomans easily.
The Moroccans initially defeated the Ottomans and managed to take the old kingdom of Tlemcen, but ultimately an Ottoman counter-offensive wiped out the Moroccan army and pushed them back into Morocco.

A map showing the Kingdom of Tlemcen, the region that Morocco took from the Ottomans.

Regardless the Ottomans recognized the competence of the Saadi commanders and the loyalty of their men. So in 1552–1553, Suleiman the Magnificent sent envoys to Morocco asking to make peace. He suggested it would be better if Morocco established an anti-Iberian alliance with the Ottomans instead.

The Ottoman Sultan Suleiman (r. 1520–1566) wanted to make peace, but Sultan Mohammed believed he still had a chance in taking Tlemcen.

Sultan Mohammed rejected this alliance as he still believed Morocco had a chance of actually conquering Algeria and defeating the Ottomans.
As punishment the Ottomans invaded Morocco in 1554 and the result was:

• The capture of Morocco’s capital, Fes (1554)

The Ottomans led an invasion along with several thousand Moroccans led by a survivor from the Wattasid Dynasty. The Ottomans successfully took Fes and instead of conquering Morocco, they put the Wattasid sultan back in power as they hoped to turn Morocco into a vassal state instead.

Sultan Mohammed had fled the city and decided to make battle near Tadla where the Battle of Tadla was fought.

The Saadi army crushed a combined Wattasid-Ottoman force and the Ottomans retreated from Morocco.

• The Saadi-Spanish alliance

The capture of Fes made Sultan Mohammed realize that Morocco wasn’t as invincible as he thought. As a result, he sent envoys in Spain seeking to form an anti-Ottoman alliance. The result was the 1556 invasion of Tlemcen when the Ottomans attacked the spanish city of Oran in Algeria.

When the Ottomans laid siege to Oran which was controlled by Spain, the Saadi Dynasty invaded Tlemcen to help out their ally.

The Moroccans once again captured Tlemcen and expelled the Ottomans from the region.
However just like the 1551 invasion, the Moroccans didn’t hold the region for long as the Ottomans quickly mounted a counter-invasion and pushed out the Moroccans.

• The Final Ottoman Invasion (1558)

The Ottomans had become sick & tired of the Saadi Dynasty’s antics in which they constantly harassed Ottoman control of Algeria and sought to finally end the Saadi Dynasty.

So in 1558, the Ottomans invaded. Spain complied with its alliance with Morocco and launched the Expedition to Mostaganem (1558) in order to reduce the number of Ottomans invading Morocco. (returning the favor for Morocco’s invasion of Tlemcen in 1556).

The result was a decisive Moroccan victory north of Fes where an Ottoman force was once again defeated.
After this final defeat, Suleiman the Magnificent and his commanders saw it as pointless to continue with their present strategy of antagonizing the Saadi Dynasty as they realized there was nothing to gain with this strategy. Instead they sought out Saadi Princes to ally with.

This was ultimately a success as in 1576, the Saadi Prince Abdelmalek became Sultan of Morocco. Abdelmalek had lived in the Ottoman Empire for over 17 years when he was exiled. So he established an alliance with the Ottomans.
In remembrance of their defeats at the hands of the Moroccans, the Ottomans decided not to push their luck and transform Morocco into a vassal state. They were content with just having Morocco as a friendly state.

• Conclusion

As we can clearly see, Morocco wasn’t weak and was actually able to defeat the Ottomans several times (some times with help from Spain).
So the Ottomans never conquered Morocco as a result.

Ottomans weren't interested to conquer Morocco but were interested to turn it to a vassal state but well, instead of Ottomans, they chose to be a vassal state of Spain...
Capturing their capital seems more than a "put a hand on". That's the wrong point of your post.

And, when we are talking about Ottomans, we are actually talking about poor natives "Arabs" of those countries as a Turkish Force.

Right after that the Ottomans were defeated in the battle of Tadla..read my post carefully before writing empty rhetoric..again Morocco was in alliance with Spain, as the Ottomans were in an alliance with wathassids..and they were both defeated..
So Suleiman the magnificent was also a poor native Arab giving his orders to poor native troops commanders!?

its not me who say that its israel tv, King of Morocco Hassen II participated in the victory of the Israelis during the 6-day war of 1967 check this video

A Usraeli propaganda video.. how can the same king send the best of his troops in 73 to fight these same Usraelis he is supposed to have helped in 67..!!!?

 

[bsruzm]

read my post carefully before writing empty rhetoric..

Did Ottoman Empire put a hand on or not?

the Saadi Prince Abdelmalek became Sultan of Morocco. Abdelmalek had lived in the Ottoman Empire for over 17 years when he was exiled. So he established an alliance with the Ottomans.

They seem did more than a "put a hand on" and get what they already wanted after all those tribal fights of region lol

Did Ottoman Empire put a hand on or not?
They seem did more than a "put a hand on" lol

They attempted to but were defeated many times..read that post above.. they went till the then capital Fes and could not hold it..they were defeated many times at every attempt..you call that putting a hand on something..when you can't keep it for more than a few days!?

You are aware that you are speaking of the poorly educated natives of those countries as Ottomans? Ottomans only supported one side against another. Ottoman Empire most likely had important stuff to do during Suleiman's reign than a tribal fight in Morroco.
