History: Morocco is the only African country which invaded and occupied European countries for centuries (Spain and Portugal ).
Morocco is the only African country which launched a naval raid on the coasts of Northern Europe (pirates of Salé and raiding of Iceland).
Morocco is the only African country that commemorates annually the anniversary of a victorious battle against an European power, that took place before the colonial era and had nothing with decolonisation (The Battle of Alcácer Quibir against Portugal on August 4, 1578).
