Morocco

Morocco was a nation in North Africa bordering the Emirate of Algeria, as well as the African colonies of Kingdom of Occitania, German Empire, and Great Britain.

History

Morocco had remained a kingdom for centuries, having been across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain. During the Berlin Conference, Spain managed to secure its claim over all of Morocco as a protectorate, angering the Germans. Germany had wished for Morocco to be independent, but stood down when outvoted so that the situation did not escalate into war. As a result, Morocco became incorporated with the Spanish African Colonial Empire, including the regions of Muritania and Azawad.

During the Great War, the Spanish African Colonial Empire supplied Spain and their allies materials to fight against German and Holland in the battlefields in France. Following the war, the Spanish monarchy was overthrown and a republic rose in its place. The Colonial Empire declared their independence, and grew to be a united Morocco.

Disbandment

Morocco quickly established relations with Algeria, the latter becoming the force to help the former stabilize. Much of the Moroccan and Algerian forces and policies became intertwined. Discussions were made between the Emir of Algeria and the Sultan of Morocco to join in a unified state. In 1926, the two states joined into a united Sultanate of Maghreb.
