Moulay Sulayman Morocco's Isolationist Sultan

After the chaos following Moulay Ismail's death, Morocco was in turmoil. In 1792, a new sultan, Moulay Sulayman, took the throne with a radical vision: to purify Islam, end the Barbary corsair tradition, and close Morocco off from Europe. This episode explores his controversial reign, his war with the powerful Darqawiyya Sufi order, and how his isolationist policies set the stage for the Franco-Moroccan conflicts of the 1840s. Discover the story of a sultan who chose piety over power and how his legacy still echoes in Morocco's modern history. #Morocco #MoulaySulayman #Alaouite #BarbaryCorsairs #Salafi #SufiBrotherhoods #Darqawiyya #Tijaniyya #18thCentury #NorthAfrica #MoroccanHistory #Sultan #Isolationism #Makhzen #FexingoHistory #History #SidiMohammedBenAbdallah #Rebellion Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
