In 1904 France and Spain secretly partitioned the Moroccan Sultanate, with Spain later creating Spanish Morocco from its portion. French Morocco became a colony of France under the Treaty of Fez. A protectorate was formally established 1912, which lasted, until Moroccan independence on March 2,1956. French Moroccan territory consisted of the area between Fez and Rabat south to Mogador.

Morocco regained its independence in 1956, and, since then, the Alaouite dynasty has reasserted its rule over the country. King Hassan II succeeded his father King Mohammed V in 1961.
