Moroccan–Portuguese conflicts

Moroccan–Portuguese conflicts refer to a series of battles between Morocco and Portugal throughout history.

It was later followed by the Siege of Ceuta in 1419. These events marked the beginning of the decline of the Marinid dynasty and the start of the Portuguese Empire. The conflicts ended when Portugal gave up Mazagan in 1769.
