Review questions and Map work
1. The Muslim commander Tariq bin Ziyad conquered much of North Africa including the city of Tangier.
Underline the word “Tangier” in blue.
2. Tariq sailed from Tangier to Gibraltar to conquer Spain. Draw a blue line from Tangier to Gibraltar to
represent Tariq’s journey. It was a short trip!
3. Once he landed in Gibraltar, Tariq ordered the ships to be burned. Circle Gibraltar in orange to represent fire.
4. Tariq conquered Spain for the Islamic Empire. Color Spain in purple.
5. The Islamic Empire included much of North Africa and Arabia. You’ve already colored in Spain. Color the
rest of the Islamic Empire (within the dotted lines) in purple. Be sure not to cross into either the Byzantine
Empire or the Frankish Kingdom.
