clearly in the better timeline, that's what it should be called.
Portugal and Spain too, lol. Like a large chunk of the world population didn't learn Portuguese and Spanish for fun.
tbf without the land connection it'd still be Al-Andalus, which is even better
If it's just a bad dream why are the orange people and inhospitable vikings still there
now europe has even less land and even more naval empires. can't see what could go wrong with this
Iberia being an extension of Morocco now means Al-Andalus never vanished--in fact it means that Spain never even existed, and it was always just part of the local Maghrebi/Iberomaurusian powers
France/England vanishing means that Ireland/Scotland are now equidistant from Europe as they are from Africa (which now includes Iberia). Meaning that these are the new "Al-Andalus", and because of a lack of a strong land border through which reconquista can occur, end up staying that way permanently, as part of this alternate timeline Morocco.
The Black Death hits Europe but not Afroceltiberia, meaning the beginnings of industrialism happen in Dutch/Denmark or at least elsewhere in Europe. However, because this Moroccan empire is sufficiently far away to prevent UK-Irish style colonialism, but also close enough that they can acquire some of the technology before it enters an unstoppable advancement feedback loop, they benefit from it, and are maybe initially attempted to be colonized, but eventually beat it back and simply adopt the newer industrial technology.
The settlement of both North AND South America is done mostly by Morocco. Because now they have far more land than before, and they also form a "protective net" around Europe which could theoretically be used to stop European exit from the local seas.
If that's too generous and the oceans are too wide to actually stop this, then it means that instead the Ottomans, Egyptians, etc all get a chance to colonize the Americas too, as one of the biggest limiting factors in American colonization was the strait of Gibraltar locking out anyone except for Spain, Portugal, and anyone else who had an Atlantic coastline.
