History between modern-day Morocco, and Turkiye


“The Ottoman Empire had subjugated all the countries it came across from the East to the West. A fate that Moroccans, with their traditional sense of independence, could not accept”




In 1580, the Ottoman Sultan Mourad III offered his own daughter in marriage to the Moroccan Caliph Ahmed al-Mansour, accompanying this gesture with a fleet of 300 boats. The Ottomans had always dreamed of forming an alliance with the Moroccan Empire, going so far as to offer their own daughters as a pledge of pact to the Moroccans.




In 1786, the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid I offered the regency of Algiers and Tunis to the Sultan of Morocco as a gift!

This diplomatic gesture was intended on the one hand to thank Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah for his numerous steps aimed at freeing Muslim captives in Christian lands, and on the other hand to thank him for his role as mediator in North Africa, particularly in the regency of Algiers, where peace between tribes was rare and support from Morocco was often sought. Abdulhamid thus wrote to the two regencies to inform them of his wishes: that they should henceforth be under the authority of the Sultan of Morocco.
