full_context: Document 1: Morocco: Morocco ( ; Arabic: المَغرِب‎ , "al-maġrib ", 'place the sun sets; the west' ‎ ; Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ‎ , "Lmeɣrib " ‎ ; French: "Maroc" ), officially known as the Kingdom of Morocco (Arabic: المملكة المغربية‎ , "al-Mamlakah al-Maghribiyah " ‎ , lit. "The Western Kingdom"; Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⵜⴰⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ‎ , "Tageldit n Lmaɣrib " ‎ ), is a sovereign country located in the Maghreb region of North Africa. Geographically, Morocco is characterised by a rugged mountainous interior, large tracts of desert and a lengthy coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
Document 2: North Africa: North Africa is a group of Mediterranean countries situated in the northern-most region of the African continent. The term "North Africa" has no single accepted definition. It is sometimes defined as stretching from the Atlantic shores of Morocco in the west, to the Suez Canal and the Red Sea in the east. Others have limited it to the countries of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, a region known by the French during colonial times as “Afrique du Nord” and by the Arabs as the Maghreb (“West”). The most commonly accepted definition includes Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, as well as Libya, Sudan, and Egypt. The term “North Africa”, when commonly used in North Africa and the Middle East, often refers only to the countries of the Maghreb and Libya. Egypt, due to its greater Middle Eastern associations, is in the Middle East.
Document 3: Al-Andalus: Al-Andalus (Arabic: الأنْدَلُس‎ ‎ , trans. "al-ʼAndalus" ; Spanish: "al-Ándalus" ; Portuguese: "al-Ândalus" ; Catalan: "al-Àndalus" ; Berber: "Andalus"), also known as Muslim Spain or Islamic Iberia, was a medieval Muslim territory and cultural domain occupying at its peak most of what are today Spain and Portugal. At its greatest geographical extent in the 8th century, southern France—Septimania—was briefly under its control. The name more generally describes parts of the Iberian Peninsula governed by Muslims (given the generic name of Moors) at various times between 711 and 1492, though the boundaries changed constantly as the Christian Reconquista progressed, eventually shrinking to the south around modern-day Andalusia and then to the Emirate of Granada.
Document 4: Bernard of Septimania: Bernard (or Bernat) of Septimania (795–844), son of William of Gellone, was the Frankish Duke of Septimania and Count of Barcelona from 826 to 832 and again from 835 to his execution. He was also count of Carcassonne from 837. He was appointed to succeed his fellow Frank Rampon. During his career, he was one of the closest counsellors of the Emperor Louis the Pious, a leading proponent of the war against the Moors, and opponent of the interests of the local Visigothic nobility.
Document 5: Moors: The term "Moors" refers primarily to the Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta during the Middle Ages. The Moors initially were the Berber autochthones of the Maghreb. The name was later also applied to Arabs.
Document 6: Military Frontier: The Military Frontier was a province straddling the southern borderland of the Habsburg Monarchy and later the Austrian and Austro-Hungarian Empire. It acted as the "cordon sanitaire" against incursions from the Ottoman Empire.
Document 7: Maghreb: The Maghreb ( or ; literally "west, sunset"; Arabic: المغرب‎ ‎ "al-Maɣréb "; Berber: , ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵗⴰ ), historically known as the Barbary Coast or "Barbary States", (derived from Berber), and the Land of the Atlas (derived from the Atlas Mountains)) or the Greater Maghreb (Arabic: المغرب الكبير‎ ‎ "al-Maghrib al-Kabīr"), is usually defined as much or most of the region of western North Africa or Northwest Africa, west of Egypt. The traditional definition as the region including the Atlas Mountains and the coastal plains of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, was later superseded, especially following the 1989 formation of the Arab Maghreb Union (اتحاد المغرب العربي ), by the inclusion of Mauritania and of the disputed territory of Western Sahara (mostly controlled by Morocco). During the Al-Andalus era in Spain (711–1492), the Maghreb's inhabitants, Maghrebis, were known as "Moors". Morocco also transliterates into Arabic as "al-Maghreb" (The Maghreb).
Document 8: Racism in Spain: During the Spanish inquisition, Jews, Arabs, and Berbers were targeted the most. This policy was called Limpieza de sangre "(Blood Cleansing)". Even if a Jew, Arab, or Berber converted to Christianity, Spanish authorities during that time referred to them as New Christians, which were the target of institutional discrimination and suspicion by the Spanish Inquisition. New Christians of Muslim heritage were referred to as "moriscos", meaning "Moor-like". Those of Jewish heritage were termed Conversos and those who secretl continued to practice Judaism were referred to as "marranos" (either from Spanish "marrar" to err/deviate or from "marrano" meaning "swine".). After the Reconquista, many Mudéjars (individual Arabs and Berbers, who remained in Iberia after the Christian Reconquista but were not converted to Christianity remained in Spain as practicing Muslims and Sephardic Jews were required to convert to Catholicism or leave the country in 1492. Attitudes towards Moriscos varied in different regions, although they were never the main target of the Inquisition. A few decades after the War of the Alpujarras, during which the Muslim-majority population of Granada rebelled, the King of Spain ordered the Expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain, which was implemented successfully in the eastern region of Valencia and less so in the rest of Spain.
Document 9: Berbers and Islam: The Berbers (autonym: "Imazighen") are an indigenous ethnic group of the Maghreb region of North Africa. Following the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, most Berber tribes eventually became Muslims, and today Arab-Berber (of mixed Arab and Berber ancestry) and Arabized Berbers (Berbers who have assimilated into the Arab population). Presently, about one-sixth of the population of Maghreb speaks one of the Berber languages (mostly in Algeria and Morocco), but most of them also speak some form of Arabic.
Document 10: Beidane: Beidane or Beidan (Arabic: بيدن‎ ‎ ) is an Arabic term used in the Maghreb region of North Africa to refer to the Caucasian or white Moors. In contrast to Haratin, which refers to those with a darker complexion, or black. The Beidane inhabit most of what is now Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and to a lesser extent Egypt. Their descendants can also be found in Southern European populations, particularly (Spain, Portugal, Southern Italy, and Sicily). The Beidane refers to those of Arab, Berber, or Arab-Berber descent, however, large populations on the northern coast of North Africa, also have Iberian blood; going back to the Spanish Reconquista. The main language of the Beidane is Arabic and to a lesser extent Tamazight (Berber).
Document 11: Marca Hispanica: The Marca Hispanica (Spanish: "Marca Hispánica" , Catalan: "Marca Hispànica" , Aragonese and Occitan: "Marca Hispanica" , Basque: "Hispaniako Marka" , French: "Marche Hispanique" ), literally the Spanish March, also known as the March of Barcelona, was a military buffer zone beyond the former province of Septimania, created by Charlemagne in 795 as a defensive barrier between the Umayyad Moors of Al-Andalus and the Frankish Carolingian Empire (Duchy of Gascony, the Duchy of Aquitaine and Carolingian Septimania).
Document 12: Border of Granada: The border of Granada ("frontera de Granada" in Spanish) was a border region that existed between the Nasrid kingdom of Granada and the kingdoms of Murcia, Jaén, Córdoba and Seville following the integration of those former Muslim territories within the Crown of Castile in the mid-13th century. The delineation of this border region underwent several changes subsequently, but on the death of Alfonso XI in 1350, the Granadine border was fixed geographically, in general terms, until the beginning of the Granada War in the late 15th century. This territory was also referred to as " La Banda Morisca" (The Moorish Strip).
Document 13: Maghrebi Jews: Maghrebi Jews (in Hebrew Maghrebim or ) are Jews who had traditionally lived in the Maghreb region of North Africa ("al-Maghrib", Arabic for "the west") under Arab rule during the Middle Ages. Established Jewish communities had existed in North Africa long before the arrival of Sephardi Jews, expelled from Portugal and Spain. The oldest Jewish communities were present during Roman times and possibly as early as within Punic colonies of the Ancient Carthage period. Maghrebi Jews largely mixed with the newly arrived Sephardic Jews, beginning from the 13th century until the 16th century, eventually being overwhelmed by Sephardics and embracing the Sephardic Jewish identity in most cases.
Document 14: Upper March: The Upper March (in Arabic : الثغر الأعلى , aṯ-Tagr al-A'la; in Spanish: "Marca Superior") was an administrative and military division in northeast Al-Andalus, roughly corresponding to the Ebro valley and adjacent Mediterranean coast, from the 8th century to the early 11th century. It was established as a frontier province, or march, of the Emirate, later Caliphate of Córdoba, facing the Christian lands of the Carolingian Empire's "Marca Hispanica", the Asturo-Leonese marches of Castile and Alava, and the nascent autonomous Pyrenean principalities. In 1018, the decline of the central Cordoban state allowed the lords of the Upper March to establish in its place the Taifa of Zaragoza.
Document 15: North African Arabs: North African Arabs (Arabic: عرب شمال أفريقيا‎ ‎ "‘Arab Shamal Ifriqiya") or "Maghrebi Arabs" (Arabic: :العرب المغاربة‎ ‎ "al-‘Arab al-Maghariba") is a term that denotes the inhabitants of the North African Maghreb region whose native language is a dialect of Arabic and identify as Arab. This ethnic identity is a product of the Arab conquest of North Africa during the Arab–Byzantine wars and the spread of Islam to Africa. The migration of Arab tribes to North Africa in the 11th century was a major factor in the linguistic and cultural Arabization of the Maghreb region, mainly Beni Hassan, Banu Hilal and Banu Sulaym.
