'''Moors''' is an archaic name given to the inhabitants of what is now [[Morocco]] and [[Algeria]], most famously [[Othello]], [[Shakespeare]]'s 'Moor of Venice'. After [[Islam]]ic armies conquered the Moors, the Moorsish people fought under the Islamic banner and conquered [[Spain]] for Islam in 711. They continued to occupy parts of Spain for the next 700 years until the final [[Reconquista]] of 1492.
