When the Arabs conquered Morocco during the Rise of Islam, they originally made a distinction between themselves and the indigenous Amazigh (Berber) Tribes. When Morocco became independent of the Ummayad Caliphate in the 700s, Arabs began to intermarry with Amazigh relatively freely. Most Moroccans are now a mix, genetically, of Arabs and Amazigh.
However, most Arabs use the Arabic Language as a way of deciding who is an Arab more than they use genetics. Most Moroccans who speak Arabic or Derija-Maghribiya (the Moroccan dialect of Arabic) both consider themselves and are considered as Arabs. Moroccans for whom their primary language is an Amazigh language (such as Tarifit, Tamazighit, or Tashlichit, among others), consider themselves Amazigh. Foreigners typically do not note a physical difference between Amazigh-identifying and Arab-identifying Moroccans.

This was the national government of France, and was an ally of Germany.
Italy tried to conquer Libya, and made such a mess of it that Hitler had to step in and help them out. The Germans sent the Afrika Korps to help the Italians fight the British troops, which were based in the British colonies of Egypt and Palestine.
US troops landed in November 1942 in Morocco and Algeria, and for three or four days the Vichy French military forces tried to fight them, before giving up and changing sides.
The British were pushing the Afrika Korps westward from Egypt, and US forces closed in from behind, and the end of the struggle came in Tunisia, with the Germans and Italians completely defeated.
