From 711 AD to 718 AD, Umayyad commander Tariq Bin Ziyad led an African Muslim army to invade the Iberian peninsula in modern-day Spain and Portugal. This was the start of 700 years of Afro-Muslim rule in Europe.

This era gave Europe one of its greatest civilisations, known as the Andalus, introducing all kinds of knowledge in medicine, mathematics and more. This period pulled Europeans out of what is known as the Dark Ages and built the foundation to allow Europeans to kickstart European hegemony worldwide. European historians refer to the Berbers, Arabs, Africans and Black people of that era as 'Moors.'

Professor James Small said Europeans emphasise the term Moor to whitewash the African and Muslim nature of this Iberian peninsular civilisation. He goes further to say Europeans enslaved the same Black people who shared their knowledge with Europe.
