2. 1163–1167Seville · al-AndalusThe Almohads conquered the taifas of al-Andalus, ending the fragmented Muslim division of the peninsula since the Almoravid era; Almoravid political influence in Iberia completely perished.
3. 1167–1170Maghreb · MaghrebBy around 1170, the Almoravid dynasty's religious authority, trade networks, and military organizations had been entirely replaced by the Almohads; no independent political entity bearing the Almoravid name remained in North Africa, and the process of dynastic collapse was complete.
