add to cart   close window

The article discusses Spanish Dictator Francisco Franco's troubles in Morocco. His error in judging that he could promote independence in the French Morocco without it becoming an issue is becoming evident. The day France came in open conflict with Morocco after Sultan's exile, Franco decided to shift to Spain the U.S. financial aid thinking the decay France. He gave political and diplomatic encouragement to Moroccan Nationalists which didn't work. Repeated statements from the Sultan insisting on Morocco's independence has confused Franco. There has never been anything in Spain more unpopular than war in Africa.
