Julius Caesar is based off of historical events, however, even more historically based are Richard II, Richard III,Henry IV (Parts I-II), Henry V, Henry VI (Parts I-II), King John, and possibly Henry VIII, though many doubt if that one was written by Shakespeare at all.
Shakespeare wrote ten plays that are called History Plays because they take their names from English Kings and deal with events that happened during the reign of those kings, such as Richard III. Apart from them, Macbeth, Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra are based on actual historical events.
There are ten of them, which cover a lot of ground. Here are some of the highlights:
King John: War with France, Death of Arthur Plantagenet, Excommunication by the Pope, Death of King John by Poisoning.
Richard II: Banishment of Bolingbroke, Richard steals Bolingbroke's inheritance, Bolingbroke invades England and gains wide support. Richard abdicates to Bolingbroke who becomes Henry IV, Richard is murdered.
Henry IV Part 1: Youthful hijinks of Prince Hal, rebellion of Henry "Hotspur" Percy, Prince Hal defeats Hotspur.
Henry IV Part 2: Further youthful hijinks, another rebellion squashed, Prince Hal tries on the crown when his father lies dying, Prince Hal becomes Henry V and repudiates his friends in low places.
Henry V: King Henry invades France and wins a great victory at Agincourt.
Henry VI Part 1: Rise and Fall of Joan of Arc, England splits into red rose and white rose factions, English hero Talbot is abandoned and dies in battle.
Henry VI Part 2: King Henry marries Margaret, Humphrey Duke of Gloucester is discredited and killed, Suffolk, Margaret's lover, is killed, Jack Cade leads a peasant's revolt which fails, The Duke of York makes a bid for the crown.
Henry VI Part 3: A series of battles between the Yorkists led by the Duke of York and the Lancastrians led by Queen Margaret. The Duke of York dies but his son becomes Edward IV. Edward alienates his chief supporter Warwick by marrying the wrong woman; Warwick and Margaret team up and attack Edward but lose.

is the portrayal of the prince of morocco and the prince of arragon in shakespears play racist?
There is no Historical Arc.
No it is a work of fiction by dreamworks. It does incorporate a lot of historical fairy tales into it but is not itself a historical movie.
Many of Shakespeare's plays are based around historical events in the past that actually happened, which might make them historical. However, his "History plays" are based on historical events in the history of England, and are named after the king who was reigning at the time. The plays based on historical events in Ancient Rome or Scotland are not considered to be histories.
