This article focuses on freedom movement in Morocco. The French occupation of Morocco goes back to 1912, when the powerful Bank of Paris, alleging high moral motives, induced French diplomacy with the help of military power to force the Sultan of Morocco to sign a treaty depriving him of practically all the rights of a sovereign ruler. In 1930, a group of French-educated intellectuals organized the Istiqlal (Independence) Party. The fight against French rule was held by the Istiqlal alone until 1950, when the Sultan Sidi Mohammed realized that the movement had enough popular support to make an alliance with it worth while.
