The Kingdom of Morocco (Arabic: المغرب‎ al-Maġrib) is a country located in North Africa. It is bordered by Algeria to the east, Western Sahara to the south, Spain to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The capital is Rabat, and the largest city is Casablanca, namesake of a famous 1942 film. For the first half of the 20th century, Morocco was divided up between France and Spain. It achieved independence in 1956.

Morocco in "Report of the Special Committee on the Quality of Life"[]

Morocco was judged by Jaime Nosénada's committee report to be an imminent threat to Spain's security. Nosénada thus urged that any naval spending should be aimed at patrolling the Mediterranean Sea, rather than Cristóbal Colón's proposed wild-eyed jaunt into the trackless and turbulent Atlantic.[1]

Morocco in The War That Came Early[]

After the Fall of Gibraltar, the bombers of the French Air Force occasionally raided the island from bases in Morocco. Due to the lack on any serviceable aircraft, there was little the Nationalists could do in retaliation or defense.
