Unreferenced date January 2008 History of Morocco In the 1970s in Morocco the patriotism engendered by Morocco s participation in the Middle East conflict and by the events in Western Sahara contributed to Hassan s popularity and strengthened his hand politically despite serious domestic turmoil. The king had dispatched Moroccan troops to the Sinai front after the outbreak of Arab Israeli War in October 1973. Although they arrived too late to engage in hostilities, the action won Morocco goodwill among other Arab states. Shortly thereafter, the attention of the government turned to the acquisition of Western Sahara from Spain, an issue on which all major domestic parties agreed. The Spanish enclave of Ifni in the south became part of the new Morocco in 1969, but other Spanish possessions in the north Ceuta , Melilla and Plaza de soberan a some small islands remain under Madrid s control, with Morocco viewing them as military occupation occupied territory. A defining theme of Moroccan history and foreign policy is the bitter struggle over Western Sahara . Moroccan claims to Western Sahara date to the 11th century. However, in August 1974, Spain formally acknowledged the 1966 United Nations UN resolution calling for a referendum on the future status of Western Sahara and requested that a plebiscite be conducted under UN supervision. A United Nations visiting mission to Spanish Sahara UN visiting mission reported in October 1975 that an overwhelming majority of the Saharan people desired independence. Morocco protested the proposed referendum and took its case to the International Court of Justice at The Hague , which ruled that despite historical ties of allegiance between Morocco and the tribes of Western Sahara, there was no legal justification for departing from the UN position on self determination. Spain, meanwhile, had declared that even in the absence of a referendum ... treaty with the Polisario. References Reflist Category 1970s in Morocco ... more details
