Campaignbox First Franco Moroccan WarFranco Moroccan conflicts The Franco Moroccan War comprised a series of conflicts fought between France and its French colonial empire colonial administrators on one side, and the Saadi Empire sultanate of Morocco on the other. The principal cause of war involved the retreat of Algerian resistance leader Abd al Qadir al Jaza iri Abd al Q dir into Morocco following French victories over many of his tribal supporters in the French conquest of Algeria . The name of the conflict can be misleading however, seeing the first conflict between the two nations took place during the Larache expedition , after the Seven Years War . Prelude Abd Al Q dir had begun using northeastern Morocco as a refuge and a recruiting base as early as 1840, and French military movements against Abd al Q dir heightened border tensions at that time. France made repeated diplomatic demands of sultan Abderrahmane of Morocco Abd al Rahman to stop Moroccan support for Abd al Q dir, but political divisions within the sultanate made this virtually impossible. Tensions were again heightened in 1843, when French forces chased a column of Abd al Q dir supporters deep into Morocco ... to French forces in December 1847.
