On 8 April 1904, France and Great Britain signed the Entente Cordiale (Cordial Agreement), thereby settling many concerns of colonial expansion, including France’s recognition of British control over Egypt, and Britain’s recognition of French control in Morocco, excluding Spain’s long-standing spheres of influence in the north and south. The French Protectorate in Morocco was established by the Treaty of Fez, signed by France and Morocco’s Sultan Abdelhafid. It existed from 30 March 1912, when a protectorate was formally established, until Moroccan independence on 2 March 1956, and consisted of the area of Morocco between the Corridor of Taza and the Draa river. The Spanish Protectorate in Morocco was established on 27 November 1912 by a treaty between France and Spain that converted the Spanish spheres of influence into a formal protectorate. The Spanish protectorate consisted of a northern strip of territory on the Mediterranean and a southern strip bordering the Spanish Sahara. The northern zone was ceded to an independent Morocco on 7 April 1956, shortly after France had ceded her protectorate. Spain finally ceded her southern zone through the Treaty of Angra de Cintra on 1 April 1958, only after the short Ifni War.
