add to cart   close window

The new war in Morocco is aggravating the financial crisis in France. Governor Hubert Lyautey, the governor of Morocco, is the greatest of the French empire-builders. His energy and ability have transformed Morocco in a decade from a protectorate of doubtful value into a firmly held colony. His imagination his linked North Africa with Central region and realized that France is a nation of a hundred million people comprising of three-fifths African. He hopes to build the Spanish zone so that later it would "drop like a ripe fruit into France's lap." Meanwhile, the U.S. reminds France of the debt it owes to the U.S.
