What is the connection between the moors and the berbers?
The Moors were a diverse group of Muslim inhabitants of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula, while the Berbers are an indigenous ethnic group in North Africa. The Berbers played a significant role in the cultural, linguistic, and religious makeup of the Moors due to their presence in the region and their interactions with Arab and other groups. Over time, the terms "Moors" and "Berbers" have been used interchangeably or collectively when referring to the Muslim populations of North Africa and Iberia.

The Moors controlled areas in North Africa and Spain, including Andalusia, for several centuries during the medieval period. They also had influence in parts of Portugal, Sicily, and the Maghreb region.
Where did the moors come from and why did they leave?
The Moors were originally Berber and Arab peoples from North Africa who invaded and settled in the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century. They established a powerful Islamic presence that lasted for several centuries. The decline of Moorish rule in Iberia began with the Reconquista, a series of Christian campaigns to reclaim the peninsula. Over time, the Christian kingdoms gradually pushed the Moors southward until their final defeat in the late 15th century.
