The emperor, astounded at such audacity, demanded of him who he was. "I am a man," replied Cortés proudly, "who has given you more provinces than your ancestors left you cities."

Hernán Cortés died in Castilleja de la Cuesta, Seville province, on December 2, 1547, from a case of pleurisy at the age of 62.

Where the Moors that ruled Spain African?
Firstly the wording of the question is inaccurate. The rulers of Spain were "Arabs" of the Arabian peninsula (from the Umayya clan in Mecca who then moved to Syria to establich the Ummatad dynasty).
The population which the Arabs ruled "consisted" of berbers (which you call Moorish) who are Atlanto-Mediterranean. They are a mix of European Iberians and East African Capsian people.
The term Moor has had several meanings over time so one has to be careful with terminology. The Moors were from a culture based in North West Africa and included people from Morocco and Algeria. The Moors in Spain had moderately dark skin complexion. (The word "Moor" or "Moorish" in England and Ireland generally meant a Negro rather than a person of the Moorish culture.)
Was Spain an allie of Germany in World War 2?
Not technically as Spain was officially nonbelligerent, which means the don't participate in conflict. In fact, Spain did assist both the allies and Germany. there were some volunteers from some of the people of Spain for both the allies and axis. However, the allies putted economic pressure onto Spain and military demands from Germany. So Spain was neutral during WW2 but did assist both sides.
