In his earlier career, Abd el-Krim el-Khattabi had worked with the Spanish colonial authorities until his imprisonment in 1917 for criticising Spanish designs on the Rif, for its mineral resources, which before then had remained outside the sphere of direct colonial rule.
The resourceful, ferocious and determined asymmetrical campaign of Abd el-Krim el-Khattabi against the vastly more numerous and better equipped conscript and mercenary forces of France and Spain is relevant to the war on Iraq and the pending attack on Iran.
Abd el-Krim el-Khattabi himself insisted he harboured no hatred towards Spain or its people, that his resistance was aimed at the colonialist policies of the Spanish government.

 Biografia de Abd-el-Krim
Pero fue en 1921, convertido ya en el máximo dirigente anticolonial de Marruecos, cuando organizó la sublevación general del Rif; las tropas españolas, derrotadas en Annual, hubieron de replegarse, mientras Abd-el-Krim se erigía en emir de un territorio independiente.
Al extender sus ambiciones a la parte de Marruecos bajo dominio francés, provocó el entendimiento contra él entre las dos metrópolis europeas.
Mantuvo su lucha desde el exilio contra la dominación colonial hasta 1952, poco antes de la independencia total de Marruecos (1956); a pesar de los honores que le concedió el primer rey de Marruecos, Mohammed V, rehusó volver a su país y permaneció en Egipto hasta su muerte, convertido en un símbolo del nacionalismo árabe.

 Francisco Franco Bahamonde
Born in Ferrol (officially known as El Ferrol del Caudillo from 1938 to 1982), Spain, on December 4, 1892, Franco's early life was marked by his father's drunkenness and womanizing which contrasted with his devout mother's overprotective devotion.
His first ambition was to follow the family tradition and join the navy, but cutbacks resulting from Spain's humiliating defeat in the Spanish-American War of 1898 reduced the available positions and Franco enlisted in the army instead.
This landing, in the heartland of Abd el-Krim's tribe, combined with the French invasion from the south, spelt the beginning of the end for the shortlived Republic of the Riff.
