Morocco acquired Spanish Sahara after the Green March, ending Spain's colonial control over the territory.

Spain's last remaining colonial possession, Spanish Sahara, was forcibly handed over to Morocco on 11/6/1975. This pivotal moment in history, known as the Green March, marked the end of Spanish rule in North Africa. The Green March was a peaceful protest organized by the Moroccan government, during which thousands of Moroccans marched into the Spanish Sahara to advocate for its return to Morocco. This event ultimately pressured Spain to relinquish its control over the territory. The transfer of Spanish Sahara to Morocco had far-reaching implications for the region's politics and sparked years of conflict between Morocco and the Sahrawi indigenous people, who sought independence. This moment in Spain's history highlights the complex dynamics of decolonization and its impact on the countries involved. #Spain #GreenMarch #SpanishSahara #Morocco #decolonization
