Considering religion in considered the backbone of why Spain became a superpower and that Spain today is one of the least religious countries while Morocco was the refuge of the Moors, Spain's traditional enemy.............

(As well as the deciding factor to why Spain would develop the religious fanaticism that lead her to becoming a superpower and the bulwark of the Catholic Church as well as the source of Spain's access to science that would give them the tech needed to explore the new world)


I wonder why Morocco couldn't emulate the Spanish empire's path or at least develop a regional power strong enough not only to oust the Ottomans but even explore the new world and perhaps take a few places for herself.

Is there any chance of Morocco at least developing an empire strong enough to say maybe take some islands in the Caribbean and possibly some of the weaker less developed regions in the Americas such as parts of Quebec and Cuba?
