The article deals with the Spanish crown and its effort to conquer the Maghreb in the beginning of the 15th century.

With great zeal and a Navel power and fleet, Charles V had determined to take over the major cities of the Maghreb, mainly those located at the coast of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
