Basic French vocabulary
118 Views | Page filed under: Marrakech, MoroccoA few words in French will be very useful to know while in Marrakech. French is the most western spoken language around the country. During the Agadir Crisis in 1911, Britain supported France and Morocco became a French protectorate.
Morocco was during several years upon French rule, which means, Morocco was France, being just another region of a vast empire. France started to show a strong interest in Morocco as early as 1830. The Treaty of Fez signed on March 30, 1912, made Morocco a important protectorate of France in north Africa.
Morocco recovered its political independence on March 2nd, 1956 and on April 7th France officially relinquished its protectorate. 1956 was a very important year for all Moroccans.
