Kingdom of Morocco - Al Mamlaka al-Maghrebiya   Le Maroc, tout comme une grande partie du nord du de l’Afrique, a été successivement sous le joug des phoeniciens, de l’Empire Romain et de l’Empire Byzantin, jusqu’à l’arrivée des arabes qui ont amenés, avec eux, l’Islam et qui ont fondés le royaume de Nekor, dans les montagnes du Rif, au VII ème siècle. Par la suite, les indigènes Amazigh ont assumés le pouvoir au XI ème siècle. Ils ont gouvernés non seulement le Maroc, mais aussi une partie de la péninsule Ibérique jusqu’à la fin du XIIème siècle. En 1415, l’Europe s’est tournée vers l’Afrique avec la conquête de Ceuta par les portugais et les espagnols. En 1904, pendant la Conférence d’Algéciras, le Royaume Unis a cédé le Maroc à la France mais à la condition qu’il puisse diriger l’Egypte. Après la deuxième guerre mondiale, en accord avec la «Lettre de l’Atlantique» signée par Churchill et Franklin Roosevelt en 1941, les forces du Maroc ont exigés le retour du sultan Mohammed V et en 1955, la France, qui se trouvait déjà en guerre avec l’Algérie, céda l’indépendance au Maroc.
