Ceuta, Conquest of

Years: 1415 - 1415

The Conquest of Ceuta (22 August, 1415) by the Portuguese has its roots in the earliest years of the House of Aviz dynasty of Portugal.

Both the Battle of Ceuta and, in a larger sense, the era of European expansion are influenced by Henry the Navigator.

“History is important. If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”

—Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral ... (2004)
