Later Years
It is common to denote 742 or 743 as the 'end' of the Great Berber Revolt, after the failure of the Berber armies to seize Kairouan or Córdoba. But the Berber hold on Morocco would continue, leading to the establishment of the Barghwata state in Tamesna by 744, Abu Qurra's state in Tlemcen by 742, and the Midrarid emirate in Sijilmassa by 758. Later, in 789, the Idrisid dynasty, considered as the founder dynasty of the modern Moroccan state, was established with Berber support.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Sam Tostin: You know I spent a lot of years disliking women. But I don’t dislike you.

Sam Tostin: You’re different. You’re not a woman. You’re more than that. You’re a mechanic.”

“I put away my brushes; resolutely crucified my divine gift, and while it hung writhing on the cross, spent my best years and powers cooking cabbage. “A servant of servants shall she be,” must have been spoken of women, not Negroes.”
