Uprising against Almoravid dynasty

The uprising against the Almoravid dynasty was a popular rebellion in the 12th century, primarily in Morocco, driven by dissatisfaction with Almoravid rule. The Almoravids were a Berber empire that controlled much of North Africa and parts of Spain, imposing strict religious and social policies. Local populations, seeking greater autonomy and relief from harsh laws, rose up in resistance. This upheaval led to the decline of Almoravid power, paving the way for regional dynasties like the Almohads to emerge and reshape North African and Iberian history.
