Morocco belongs to Africa.
Morocco is a constitutional monarchy at the western end of North Africa. It borders Algeria to the east, Mauritania to the south in the Western Sahara region it actually controls, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and Portugal and Spain to the north across the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea. The capital is Rabat and the largest city is Casablanca.
The terrain of Morocco is complex, with the steep Atlas Mountains in the center and north, the Upper Plateau and the Pre-Saharan Plateau in the east and south, and only the northwest coast is a long, narrow and gentle plain.
Because the Atlas Mountains slanting across the country block the heat waves of the southern Sahara Desert, Morocco has a pleasant climate all year round and luxuriant flowers and trees. It has won the reputation of "a cool land under the scorching sun" and also enjoys the reputation of "North Africa". Garden". Extended information
History:
Ancient humans were active in Morocco 400,000 years ago. Archaeological finds prove that people lived here very early. The origins of the Berbers who first settled here cannot be verified.
In the 7th century, the Arabs arrived and established the kingdom in the 8th century. Some of the dynasties that ruled here during the Middle Ages were Berbers and some Arabs. The earliest records about Morocco in ancient Chinese books include "Mojia Hunting Country" in Zhao Rushi's "Zhufan Zhi" of the Song Dynasty.
Since the 15th century, Morocco has been invaded by many Western countries. The Moroccan crisis in the early 20th century was one of the important causes of World War I. In March 1912, France occupied Morocco. In March 1956, it gained independence.
The current Moroccan Alawi dynasty began in the 17th century and implemented a constitutional monarchy. However, the monarch has considerable power than the cabinet, so it is a dual monarchy.
