History: Islam burst onto the world
stage in the 7th century when armies swept out of Arabia. Quickly
conquering Egypt, the Arabs controlled all of North Africa by the
start of the 8th century. By the next century much of North Africa
had fragmented, with the move towards a united Morocco steadily
growing. A fundamentalist Berber movement emerged from the chaos
caused by the Arab invasion, overrunning Morocco and Muslim Andalucia. The Almoravids founded Marrakesh as their capital, but
they were soon replaced by the Almohads.
Under these new rulers, a professional
civil service was set up and the cities of Fès, Marrakesh, Tlemcen
and Rabat reached the peak of their cultural development. But
eventually weakened by Christian defeats in Spain, and paying the
price for heavily taxing tribes, the Muslim (or Moorish) rule began
to wane. In their place came the Merenids, from the Moroccan
hinterland, and the area again blossomed - until the fall of Spain
to the Christians, in 1492, unleashed a revolt that dissolved the
new dynasty within 100 years.
Persia the kingdom of Iran in
southwestern Asia. The term was used for centuries, chiefly in the
West, and originated from a region of southern Iran formerly known
as Persis, alternatively as P(rs, or Parsa, modern F(rs. Parsa was
the name of an Indo-European nomadic people who migrated into the
region about 1000 BC. The first mention of the Parsa occurs in the
annals of Shalmanesar III, an Assyrian king, in 844. During the rule
of the Persian Achaemenian dynasty (559–330 BC), the ancient Greeks
first encountered the inhabitants of Persis on the Iranian Plateau,
when the Achaemenian kingdom was expanding. The use of the name was
gradually extended by the ancient Greeks and other Western peoples
to apply to the whole Iranian Plateau. The people of Iran have
always called their country Iran, “Land of the Aryans.” In 1935 the
government of Iran requested that the name Iran be used instead of
Persia.
Pocket Doors Symmetrical lines characterize
the Colonial style, with two windows on either side of a central
doorway, and five windows across the second floor. Influenced by
architects in England whose prototypes were being imitated by colonies
builders. The influences of the English architectural style spread
through urban centers and into rural areas as well.
