1912 treaty dividing Morocco into Spanish and French protectorates
The Treaty between France and Spain regarding Morocco was signed on 27 November 1912 by French and Spanish heads of state, establishing "de jure" a Spanish Zone of influence in northern and southern Morocco, both zones being "de facto" under Spanish control, while France was still regarded as the protecting power as it was the sole occupying power to sign the Treaty of Fes.
The northern part was to become the zone of the Spanish protectorate in Morocco with its capital in Tetuan, while the southern part was ruled from El Aiun as a buffer zone between the Spanish Colony of Rio de Oro and French Morocco.

The treaty was signed by the Spanish Minister of State García Prieto and the French ambassador Léon Geoffray at the Santa Cruz Palace in Madrid on November 27, 1912.
