Moors were the Medieval Muslims. The moors invaded the Liberian Peninsula in 711 and called the territory Al-andalus. The religious difference of Moorish Muslims led to centuries long conflict with christian kingdoms of Europe, called in Spain the Reconquista.

The Moors were the medieval Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta.The Moors invaded the Iberian Peninsula in 711 and called the territory Al-Andalus. the Moorish conquest and its aftermath to 800 seem to have been a fairly destructive and chaotic period in Spanish history
