Hey guys I ahve decided to make a tl on Morroco.:):) Basically in this tl Abu hassen does not get rid of his hundred ship fleet in 1340 leadin to a moorish victory at sea. I have researched Morroco and my goals are
have a powerful Morrocan state last to modern day resisting European expansion.


Plz guys tell me what you think.:):):)

On the 15th of the month October Abu hassan was flush with victory.... His fleet had crushed the Castillians and now his army could destroy Castille and save his brethren in Granada.... However intriguing events took place the brilliant admiral Al Azafi warned Abu hassan" My lord the Castillians have no fleet howeve thy have Christian allies." The sultan frowned he had planned to save money by destroying his fleet after all the Castillians had no navy." What is all this nonsense Azafi I see no reason why not what can those Christians do
"my sultan heed me I beg of you keep our fleet of 100 galleys at Ceuta so that should any fleet attack us we will emerge victorious. Plus they will help ferry supplies for our troops." The sultan sighed he would have normally dismissed such claims but looking at the serious look on hid friend Azifs face he conceded. " Very well Al Azif I will heed your advice. With a smile Azif left for. Ceuta with relief.


Spain 1340 Alfonso Xi frantically sent messengers to his father at Aragorn and to Portigal..... He was happy with the news.... His father in law sent a fleet of 15 galleys under the command of Manuel Passahana, 15 geonese galleys under Micer Gil bocangera, and 27 hastily assembled Gallies at aragorn sailed for the straits. Th plan of attack was simple The superior Spanish navy would cut off the invasion force while the Castillians would then crush the I'll supplied army. Sadly the Christians made one miscalculation, the massive fleet of ships under Azif were still around at Ceuta, the unsuspecting Christian did not realize that their 60 ships were heading into a massive moorish fleet of 100 galleys.

Late October the Christian fleet arrived at the straits but Micer was surprised. Al azif had recieved word of the large oncoming Christian fleet and hastily assembled his 100 gallies at the straits. The two massive navies faced off at sea, Azif was sweating as he stared at the powerful Christian fleet he knew he could not lose or all that his sultan had worked for would be lost. The two massive fleets faced off. Suddenly the air grew colder Azif was shocked suddenly storm clouds assembled above and soon a fierce storm broke out, the two fleets were shocked... The galleys of both tried desperatly to hang o. Bt the storm was fierce and soon the two fleets fought not against each other but against the storm. For a whole day the storm raged before it ended. However terrible news struck the Christian fleet... The hastily equipped Aragonese ships were not prepared at all for the storm and most lay sunk. Suddenly the clouds dispersed and ligh shown on the moorish fleet. Azif wearil looked at the sky Allah had come he would emerge victorious soon the moorish fleet launched an attack against the Christian fleet. However Micer would no surrender without a fight and a fierce battle raged, however in the end the Christian fleet was decisivly crushed and lay at the bottum. Azif breathed a sigh of relief. The blow was a great shock to the Iberian kingdoms and Alfonso watched helplessly as Taifa fell. Abu hassen sighed with relief it was a good idea after all to keep the fleet with virtually no opposition at sea the way was clear for the Moorish armies to march on Spain not for centuries had the moors set foot on Espana but now Alfonso and the heathens would be destroyed for he Abu hassen Sultan of Moravids said so!!!!!
