'''Greater Morocco''' is a label historically used by some ] nationalist political leaders protesting against ], ] and ] rule, to refer to wider territories historically associated with the Moroccan sultan. Current usage most frequently occurs in a critical context, accusing Morocco, largely in discussing the disputed ], of ] claims on neighboring territories. | |||
'''Greater Morocco''' is the name for those areas believed by most Moroccan nationalists to have historically formed a part of the country. It is supported by the ]. The Greater Morocco ideology caused Morocco to refuse to recognize of most of its post-] borders, and has contributed to difficult relations with neighbouring countries, especially ], with which a ] was fought in 1962. It has been the driving force behind the invasion and controversial ] of ] in 1975-79 - another sore point in relations between Morocco and Algeria. The Kingdom still today spends much of its diplomatic capital trying to gain recognition for its hold over these areas, which it terms its "]". | |||
The main competing ideologies of the Greater Morocco ideology have been ], ], ], ] and ]. | |||
⚫ | |||
Irredentist, official and unofficial Moroccan claims on territories viewed by Moroccans as having been under some form of Moroccan sovereignty (most frequently with respect to the Spanish exclaves), are rhetorically tied back to an accused expansionism. However, Moroccan government claims make no current reference to the Greater Morocco concept. | |||
==Origin of the Greater Morocco ideology== | |||
In the early ]'s, the Moroccan nationalist party - ] - used the ] concept of "Greater Morocco" as a ] tool to rally support of Moroccan citizens against ] colonial rule. After ] gained independence in ], and the death of ], the monarchy of ] revived the "Greater Morocco" as a continuation of the ongoing independence process. This has been successful, as Morocco quickly (re)acquired possessions such as the ] (after a brief ]), and much of the territory between ] and ], which have been after the ]. | |||

==Effect on Moroccan policy== | |||
The Greater Morocco doctrine has contributed strongly to poor relations with all Morocco's neighbours, although its importance as a cause of conflict has sharply decreased since the early independence years. | |||
⚫ | Al-Fassi's wider claims were effectively abandoned in the later 1960s, although Morocco claims ] and the Spanish '']'' on its northern coast. Morocco's refusal to accept its post-colonial borders in the case of Western Sahara has put it on a collision course with the ], which holds that as one of its principles. As a consequence, Morocco is the only African country to step out of the union because the ], representing the ], was awarded a seat.<ref> {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724134916/http://www.wsahara.net/gmorocco.html |date=2011-07-24 }}</ref> | ||
===Mauritania=== | |||
Morocco withheld recognition of the ]n ] from its independence in 1960 until 1969, and persuaded most of the ] to do similarly. The reluctant recognition of Mauritania's sovereignty didn't appease Mauritanian fears, and Morocco continued to suggest proposals of union and federation between Morocco and Mauritania, and back Mauritanian opposition groups who worked for Moroccan control over the country. | |||
The government of ] laid claim on several territories, successfully acquiring the ] after the ] with Spain, and much of the territory around ] and ]. Morocco also acquired much of ] after Spain handed the territory to Morocco and ] (see the ]). Spanish Sahara remains a disputed territory, with the ] who claim it as the ]. | |||
Therefore, in 1975, the ] government of ] maneouvered to annex a share of Western Sahara, in order to use it as a buffer against Moroccan expansionism. This contributed strongly to the outbreak of hostilities there. Morocco was outraged when Mauritania pulled out of the war in 1979, and after surging into the rump of Western Sahara right up to the Mauritanian border and annexing it, the government immediately set about to try to overthrow the republic and install a pro-Moroccan government. This rift has since healed, and the two countries now enjoy generally friendly relations. | |||
In 1982, Spain entered the ]. However, Ceuta and Melilla are not under NATO protection since Article 6 of the treaty limits the coverage to Europe and North America. The ] are protected, as they are islands north of the ].

===Algeria === | |||
A ] took place between Morocco and Algeria in 1963 (immediately after Algeria became independent from France, after an eight-year war) over ], ] and the surrounding, mineral-rich territories. Morocco failed to gain any territory, and a cease-fire was concluded with no border modifications. The attack caused the previously good relations between the ]-led Algerian government and Morocco to plummet, and they would be further inflamed when Algeria stepped in as the main supporter of Western Sahara's independence movement (]) in the 1970s. Although the common border was regulated in 1972 (in favor of the established border, at the cost to Algeria of sharing mineral wealth with Morocco), the two governments remain at odds. Their common border is frequently closed, and they regularly trade harsh words over the Western Sahara question, although the risk of open war between them has diminished since the 1980s. | |||
In 2002, an armed incident erupted between ] and ], regarding the uninhabited ], located 250 m off the Moroccan northern coast. On July 11, 2002 a group of Moroccan soldiers set up base on the islet and so violated the status quo situation agreed between both states. The Moroccan government said that they set foot on the island to monitor ], which was denied by the Spanish government since there had been little co-operation in the matter, a repeated source of complaint from Spain. After protests from the Spanish government, led by ], the soldiers were replaced by ] cadets, who then installed a fixed base on the island. On the morning of July 18, 2002, Spain launched a full-scale military operation to take over the island. The operation was successful, the cadets were dislodged from the island in a matter of hours and offered no resistance to the Spanish ] commando force. The islet returned to its status quo situation and is now deserted. The episode highlighted the mediation role offered by the United States and the lack of collaboration of France towards its European allies during the crisis.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/spain-and-morocco-agree-to-differ-over-perejil-185424.html | title=Spain and Morocco agree to differ over Perejil | work=The Independent | date=July 23, 2002 | access-date=May 22, 2010 | last=Linnee | first=Susan | location=London}}</ref> | |||

Irredentist beliefs for Morocco
Greater Morocco is a label historically used by some Moroccan nationalist political leaders protesting against Spanish, French and Portuguese rule, to refer to wider territories historically associated with the Moroccan sultan. Current usage most frequently occurs in a critical context, accusing Morocco, largely in discussing the disputed Western Sahara, of irredentist claims on neighboring territories.
The main competing ideologies of the Greater Morocco ideology have been Sahrawi nationalism, Mauritanian irredentism, Spanish nationalism, Berber separatism and Pan-Arabism.
Irredentist, official and unofficial Moroccan claims on territories viewed by Moroccans as having been under some form of Moroccan sovereignty (most frequently with respect to the Spanish exclaves), are rhetorically tied back to an accused expansionism. However, Moroccan government claims make no current reference to the Greater Morocco concept.
History
Main article: Sand WarIn 1963, following the Independence of Algeria, Morocco attacked a strip of its south-western regions (Tindouf Province and Béchar Province), claiming that parts of them were previously under Moroccan sovereignty. There were several hundred casualties. French sources reported Algerian casualties to be 60 dead and 250 wounded, with later works giving a number of 300 Algerian dead. Morocco officially reported to have suffered 39 dead. Moroccan losses were probably lower than the Algerians' but are unconfirmed, with later sources reporting 200 Moroccan dead. About 57 Moroccans and 379 Algerians were taken prisoner. After a month of fighting and some hundreds of casualties, the conflict stalemated (see Sand War).
In the early stages of decolonisation, certain elected Moroccan politicians, in particular some members of the Istiqlal Party, like Allal al-Fassi, the sole advocate of “total liberation” who refused to enter France even to meet with his monarch or long-standing nationalist colleagues, were in favour of claiming wider territories historically associated in some way with the Moroccan Sultan. That was initially not supported by the Sultan (later King) of Morocco. Al-Fassi's ambitions gained more support in parliament in the beginning of the sixties, leading to a delay in the recognition of Mauritania (independent in 1960, not recognised by Morocco until 1969).
Al-Fassi's wider claims were effectively abandoned in the later 1960s, although Morocco claims Western Sahara and the Spanish plazas de soberanía on its northern coast. Morocco's refusal to accept its post-colonial borders in the case of Western Sahara has put it on a collision course with the African Union, which holds that as one of its principles. As a consequence, Morocco is the only African country to step out of the union because the Polisario Front, representing the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, was awarded a seat.
The government of King Hassan II laid claim on several territories, successfully acquiring the Tarfaya Strip after the Ifni War with Spain, and much of the territory around Ceuta and Melilla. Morocco also acquired much of Spanish Sahara after Spain handed the territory to Morocco and Mauritania (see the Madrid Accords). Spanish Sahara remains a disputed territory, with the Polisario Front who claim it as the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
In 1982, Spain entered the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. However, Ceuta and Melilla are not under NATO protection since Article 6 of the treaty limits the coverage to Europe and North America. The Canary Islands are protected, as they are islands north of the Tropic of Cancer. Legal experts have interpreted that other articles could cover the Spanish North African cities, but that perspective has not been tested in practice.
In 2002, an armed incident erupted between Morocco and Spain, regarding the uninhabited Perejil Island, located 250 m off the Moroccan northern coast. On July 11, 2002 a group of Moroccan soldiers set up base on the islet and so violated the status quo situation agreed between both states. The Moroccan government said that they set foot on the island to monitor illegal immigration, which was denied by the Spanish government since there had been little co-operation in the matter, a repeated source of complaint from Spain. After protests from the Spanish government, led by José María Aznar, the soldiers were replaced by Moroccan navy cadets, who then installed a fixed base on the island. On the morning of July 18, 2002, Spain launched a full-scale military operation to take over the island. The operation was successful, the cadets were dislodged from the island in a matter of hours and offered no resistance to the Spanish Special Operations Groups commando force. The islet returned to its status quo situation and is now deserted. The episode highlighted the mediation role offered by the United States and the lack of collaboration of France towards its European allies during the crisis.
In 2020, US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation recognizing Morocco's sovereignty of the Western Sahara in exchange for the recognition of Israel by Morocco. However, the European states did not modify their position with regard to the United Nations resolutions that recognise the Western Sahara as a territory yet to be decolonised. That, indirectly, together with the hosting of Brahim Gali, the leader of the Polisario, for medical treatment in Spain, was seen by Morocco as an aggression and provoked a new migratory crisis over the Spanish domain of Ceuta, in North Africa. The crisis was polemic since Morocco had acted beyond the diplomatic channels, while Moroccan police force's frontier division did not impede migrants from climbing fences or by swimming around frontier line. The Spanish Army intervened to control the trespassing, and at least two people died in the episode while they were trying to reach the shore.
