A succession of revolts during the 13th century led to the end and disappearance of the Almohad Empire and its replacement by regional powers in al-Andalus, the Maghreb and Maghreb al-Aqsà. Historiography has presented the emergence and conflict between these powers as a social, political, cultural and religious phenomenon which explains the Empire’s annihilation or marginalisation. The aim of this study was to contextualise these events from an environmental perspective so that the disintegration of the Almohad Caliphate, the rise of these powers and the consolidation of Hispanic Christian kingdoms can be understood from the perspective of global climate change and a possible agricultural crisis.
