التضامن العثماني مع مسلمي الأندلس

الملخص EN

The fall of the Umayyad caliphate of Cordoba, followed by the receding of the almoravids and then the almohads, especially after the battle of Las navas and the subsequent renewal of the reconquista, left the Islamic presence in spain confined to the kingdom of granada.

due to increased pressure from the Christians, the Muslims of al-Andalus sought aid from their brethren in the Mashriq and Maghrib, particularly from the Ottoman Empire which represented the Islamic caliphate during this period.

the Ottomans furnished aid and support to the Andalusis especially after they established themselves in Algiers and came to dominate much of the western Mediterranean basin.

the fleets of the Turks came to the support of the Andalusis and rescued many of them.

was this aid sufficient to protect the Islamic presence in al-Andalus? we will try to answer this question in this article and clarify the reasons that were behind the failure of the Islamic states of the time, especially the Ottomans, in halting the Christian expansion in the Iberian Peninsula.
