	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Greater Morocco
		After Morocco gained independence in 1956, and the death of much-beloved King Mohammed V, the monarchy of King Hassan II revived the "Greater Morocco" as a continuation of the ongoing independence process.
		Morocco was willing to cede the lower one-third in favor of the rich phosphates in the north – this acquisition could at once revive nationalistic confidence in the monarchy and give the economy a shot in the arm.
		The term "Greater Morocco" or Greater Maghreb is occasionally used in the press and royal proclamations as a sign of political unity between the Kingdom of Morocco proper and the other North African nations: Mauritania, Algeria and Tunisia.

	Financial Sector Reforms in Morocco and Tunisia - Finance & Development - September 97
		Accordingly, increases in administered interest rates, followed by greater interest rate liberalization, were undertaken in parallel with strengthening the financial situation of banks (through restructuring and recapitalization) and implementing enhanced prudential regulations and bank supervision.
		In Morocco, setbacks in fiscal consolidation, partly related to droughts, have delayed the elimination of mandatory bank lending to the government, and in Tunisia, nonperforming loans of state enterprises have slowed the liberalization of interest rates.
		Morocco and Tunisia have made important progress over the last decade toward establishing sound and efficient bank intermediation; deepening their financial markets; mobilizing domestic financing; and using indirect, market-based monetary policy instruments.

		Spanish Morocco (Arabic: الاحتلال الاسباني للمغرب‎), was the area of Morocco (Protectorado español de Marruecos in Spanish) under colonial rule by Spain, established by the Treaty of Fez in 1912 and ending in 1956, when France and Spain recognized Moroccan independence.
		The territories of Spanish Morocco included northern Morocco (the territory in between the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, Spanish since the 17th and 16th centuries respectively), the Tarfaya Strip, and Ifni.

	Greater Morocco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greater Morocco is a label used predominantly by some sources on Western Sahara to describe the Moroccan ambition to reclaim terrorities that were under Moroccan sovereignty before the colonial era.
		Morocco's refusal to accept its post-colonial borders in the case of Western Sahara has, however, put it on a collision course with the African Union, which holds this as one of its principles.
		After Morocco gained independence in 1956, and the death of King Mohammed V, the government of King Hassan II reclaimed several of its territories.

		The first step was the transfer of the sovereignty of Ifni from Spain, following the Resolutión 2072 of the United Nations.

		Morocco took a good and profitable slice of the north – phosphates were the main economic enticement – and Mauritania, the poorer neighbour abutting the south, took the rest.
		Morocco was a little out on a limb between the end of the Cold War and the start of the ‘war on terror’.
		In this context, Morocco’s readiness to hold everything up is not simply a tactic but the attitude of a deeply conservative political culture confident that it will prevail, once the sands have buried the last traces of an inconvenient idea: that of the independent sovereign nation defined by the boundaries its colonial masters gave it.

		Morocco’s occupation of its part of the Sahara was as brutal as when the rebellion of the Rif was put down in 1957.
		Morocco realised that if that was the only criteria used the referendum would certainly give a massive vote in favour of independence and so it started a series of manoeuvres to block the whole process.

		In the early 1970s, Morocco started to put forward claims to the territory, which is rich in iron ore, phosphate deposits and fishing reserves, based on the fact that it used to be under the suzerainty of its rulers prior to the Spanish occupation.

		Given Morocco's close ties to the west and the sagging political fortunes of Polisario, the only viable settlement seems to be one that is short of independence.
