The predominantly black countries on the African continent give people the impression that African countries are poor and backward, and in the eyes of most people, African countries were founded by black people.
But there is one African country that was founded by white people, and even today, you can see white beauties in the streets and alleys of this country.
And this country is also visa-free for Chinese. What exactly is the name of this mysterious country?
This country is the Kingdom of Morocco, known simply as Morocco.
Geographical location of Morocco
Morocco is a geographically important country, it is located in the northernmost part of Africa, across the Strait of Gibraltar from Europe, and between the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, which makes it an important center and transportation hub.
The capital of Morocco is Rabat, with a total land area of 45It has a population of about 35.3 million in 90,000 square kilometers, of which Arabs are the majority, while Berbers are a minority.
In 2022, Morocco's GDP was 1428At $7.4 billion, it was the highest in Africa, but the situation in Western Sahara was more complicated, and the territorial issue had plagued Morocco for many years and had not yet been fully resolved.
Demographic composition of Morocco
The demographic composition of Morocco is very interesting, with Arabs and Berbers being the main ethnic groups, with Arabs making up the majority, but Berbers should not be overlooked.
The Berbers are an ethnic minority that has inhabited North Africa since ancient times, and they have interacted with people from Europe, Asia, and other regions, and are heavily influenced by many cultures.
As a result, the Berber people have a very diverse background, making them a striking feature of Morocco's demographics.

History of Morocco
Morocco's history dates back to the 3rd century BC, but the real history begins in the 7th century, when the Arabs invaded the region and established a kingdom.
In the following centuries, Morocco was invaded and settled by Western powers such as Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, but in 1956, Morocco finally gained its independence and became a kingdom.
The reason why Morocco became a "white country".
However, despite its independence, Morocco is considered a "white country" for three main reasons:
First of all, Morocco's geographical location, located between Europe and Africa, made it an object of contention for the colonizers
Secondly, Morocco was once colonized by countries such as France and Spain, which made many Moroccans also have European ancestry;
Third, the truth about policy restrictions and rumors (white Moroccans have a strict policy that non-necessarily, not allowed to intermarry with blacks, lest the children born are all black) are also factors that influence people's perception of Morocco.
Of course, Morocco also maintains friendly relations like China, and attracts tourists from all over the world with its beautiful scenery and rich history and culture.
Conclusion: In general, Morocco as an African country founded by white people is special because of its geographical location, demographic composition and historical background, while Morocco also attracts many tourists to explore its beautiful scenery and long history and culture.
