Sultanate of Morocco





Once again I am really sorry for the lack of posts, with testing it is hard to get a post done. So here we go, The Sultanate of Morocco.


 The Sultanate of Morocco was under civil war after the death of Ismail ibn Sharif in 1727. The multiple sons of Ismail were fighting each-other (fun fact: Ismail Ibn Sharif had 868 children, a few of them were raised nobly, and only about 10 were fighting for the rule of the kingdom). Abdallah of Morocco managed to seize a permanent foothold in Morocco on 1736 by defeating all his rivaling brothers.
  Abdallah set up a wide variety of policies after the civil war. A few of the policies made were those encouraging scientific and technological advancement, but most were condemning acts against the king, even setting up a system where the king commanded the army directly. On 1739 Morocco became the first country to ally TUPA (being the 3rd to recognize it, behind Holland and France), and the first to sign a friendship treaty. By 1742, Morocco had improved a good amount, they were right behind Europe technology-wise and established it's first formal university, University of Khadim Al Rab (Real life counterpart) from an old Islamic school.

  In 1748 Abdallah died, passing rule onto his 25-year-old son, Abdel-Rahman ibn Abdallah, who studied in Europe (I could go on about his education, but basically he went to a prestigious Islamic school in Istanbul, then went on to go to a University in Europe). Abdel-Rahman removed many of the policies set up by his father, a few under the persuasion of TUPA and Holland (Both of which he had very good relations with), due to their near-dictatorial agenda. He instated more foreign policies and set up better education systems. He then reformed the military to be more westernized, in stating, of many, a universal uniform system.
