Best Answer

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.
