Revolution of the King and the People

The Revolution of the King and the People was a Moroccan anti-colonial movement aimed at ending French and Spanish Protectorate. It was led by Sultan Muhammad V and the Moroccan Nationalist Movement. After the Sultan was exiled, the resistance became more aggressive. Finally, negotiations between France and Morocco resulted in Morocco's independence in 1956. However, the coalition between the Sultan and the Nationalist Movement crumbled post-independence. The Revolution of the King and the People is celebrated yearly in Morocco.
