Description:

Portuguese effort to overrun the coast of Morocco is closely connected with the necessity to control sea navigation in the Strait of Gibraltar. Ideological shield to expansion was provided by pope, who declared the Portuguese expeditions as crusades. Their beginning goes back to 1415, when Ceuta was conquered and became the first Portuguese oversea possession. The Portuguese possessed their strongholds in Morocco until 1769. The necessary conditions to these possessions were laid down under the rule of the king Alfonse V. During three war campaign he overrun the cities of Alcácer Ceguer, Arzila and Tangier and then he adopted the title „King of Portugal and of the Algarves on this side of the sea and beyond in Africa“, which symbolized the success reached there. Moorish king of Fez accepted these conquests of Portugal as the first Muslim ruler in 1471 and at the same time he gave up part of interior domains up to Larache-Tétouan line. Thanks to this dominion, called Algarve across the sea, Portuguese had the sufficient security for expected struggle with Castile, which ended in 1509 when Castile abandoned the Atlantic shore of Morocco.
