The small Spanish protectorate, covering little more than the Rif Mountains, was the result of an agreement between Britain, who felt uneasy with the idea of having another great power so close to Gibraltar, and France, who had ambitioned for long to establish a colony in Morocco (and eventually established a protectorate over most of the rest of the country). It did not include the city of Tangiers, which was placed under international rule (except for a brief period during World War II when it was occupied by Spain) nor the cities of Ceuta, Melilla and the Plazas de Soberanía which still belong to Spain to this day.

abstract	The small Spanish protectorate, covering little more than the Rif Mountains, was the result of an agreement between Britain, who felt uneasy with the idea of having another great power so close to Gibraltar, and France, who had ambitioned for long to establish a colony in Morocco (and eventually established a protectorate over most of the rest of the country). It did not include the city of Tangiers, which was placed under international rule (except for a brief period during World War II when it was occupied by Spain) nor the cities of Ceuta, Melilla and the Plazas de Soberanía which still belong to Spain to this day. At the beginning of the 20th century, the place was inhabited by different tribes over which the Sultan of Morocco had little actual control. These waged a long guerrilla war against the Spanish during the 1920s, which was only crushed after France intervened in favor of Spain, and Spain underwent reforms similar to those carried by other nations during World War I, where this country had been neutral. Many of the commanders of the Nationalist faction during the Spanish Civil War such as José Sanjurjo, Francisco Franco and José Millán Astray made a name for themselves in Spanish Morocco.
