I'll make sure of the more affluent names survive though, fleeing into exile or something. We might even see al-Houds or Cyrahids fighting under Moroccan banners in the not-too-distant future, should these radicals have their way.

Houdi

Another family that earned their estates during the ruinous years of the Fitna of Al Andalus, the Houdi were a small and inconspicuous house until the rise of Uthman al-Houd, one of the leading commanders of the Majlisi Guard during the Tirruni Wars. Many had even tipped the elderly commander to become Grand Vizier eventually, but a series of battlefield losses would cost him his career, with the commander being supplanted by a certain Raed Zulfiqar in the months and years that followed.

Despite this, Uthman was a wealthy man, and stayed involved in the politics of Al Andalus. When Raed Zulfiqar was crowned the new Sultan of Al Andalus, the Majlis al-Shura elected Uthman to become his first Grand Vizier. Uthman’s years in power wouldn’t be showered in glory, however, as the Grand Vizier was forced to tackle rising liberal sentiments and international crises in the years that followed, the most prominent being the Declaration of the Dual Monarchy. Nonetheless, he oversaw a period of rapid industrial expansion and economic growth, earning him the favour and approval of later scholars and historians.

The descendents of Uthman al-Houd would continue to dabble in politics, with the vast wealth hoarded by their dynasty giving them an enduring voice in the Majlis al-Shura. And this voice would only grow louder upon the outbreak of the Iberian Revolution, with the Houdi being one of the few dynasties who refused to simply surrender their lands to the revolutionaries. A few of them did escape into exile, it can’t be denied, but the vast majority served in the Andalusi Army instead, desperately fighting the revolutionaries until, one by one, they were all captured, chained and garrotted at the stake.

Morocco did pretty well out of it until we betrayed them for basically no reason and they went on to ruin our day for centuries.

B - Mizanur - because we cannot risk Germany falling to the fascists and I don't trust the French or the Moroccans not to turn on us.

Yeah I made a few of the submissions country leaders, where the name fit alright.

Seriously this, is there a way to come up with a decision to give them large tracts or even the entirety of the Khedivate in exchange for them joining our alliance? I never cared for the the liberal colonial ambitions and I'm certain a lot of my fellow Shura members feel the same way

I think the big issue is that if Benin joins the fascists then we have one front in Europe that doesn't stop until you reach the Pacific and one front in Africa that doesn't stop until you reach the Cape of Good Hope and so either way we choose to focus we have to conquer an entire continent while also holding off our enemies on the other front.

Since the Berber Union was an offshoot of Morocco in the first place and they now have complete hegemony over their entire continent and will likely rise to become the dominant superpower of the 20th Century after getting through their war relatively unscathed, it turns out Morocco will have the last laugh in the end anyhow.
