The widespread belief that Spain and Morocco are joined through their Andalusi past - from a time when Christians, Muslims, and Jews coexisted in medieval Iberia - actually arose in the 1800s, as Spain´s justification for colonizing Morocco. Eric Calderwood shows how a piece of Spanish propaganda gradually became a tenet of Moroccan nationalism.
