Hahaha hypocrisy keeps the 🌎 spinning. But any source?

I remember one of my favorite history podcasts talking about how the home base in Morocco was possibly a trump card in the nationalist favor that the republicans just couldn't out match. For a simple reasons that it was always going to BE there no matter what, even if the civil war didn't originally go the way the nationalist wanted. Even if Franco ends up bungling the mainland campaigns and is forced out to north africa...well you still have to go GET him if you actually want to remove him from there, and there's no way the republicans would have been able to dislodge his african stronghold.

An interesting side note is that Spanish officials in Morocco established three distinct troops that entered the Spanish Civil War unified under the name of El Ejército de África (Army of Africa): La Policía Indígena (Indigenous Police) which grew into Las Regulares (The Regulars), Los Legionarios (The Legionaries), and the Mehalas Jalifianas (Halifian Troops).

It is also worth noting two things: 1. A riffian general, Mohammed ben Mizzian, was instrumental in raising the Regulares, as well as saving Franco during his time in Morocco. He even became a general in both, Spain and Morocco. 2. Franco's personal guard was made up of riffian troops, known as "La Guardia Mora" (the Moorish guard).

It’s also worth noting that Spain had a weak presence in Morocco for centuries until the humiliating losses incurred at the end of the 19th century with the Spanish-American war made Morocco the final foreign Spanish territory. Although Spanish Morocco offered little financial gain to mainland Spain, many officials were determined to maintain it. From the first moment these officials entered Spanish Morocco, two separate groups emerged: Las Africanistas (African-ists) and Las Africanomilitaristas (African-militarists). Las Africanistas dedicated themselves to the study of the Moroccan people and established positive relationships with the locals. Las Africanomilitaristas took advantage of these relationships with the goal of expanding commerce under a clandestine agenda of strengthening their conservative ideology.

Actually the Africanists were also that other one. They argued that Morocco was as racially pure as Spaniards and that they should stay, most people wanted out. What I cannot but find surprising is that, Franco definitely informed others of this, the military forces in Africa were the veterans and elite of some of the hardest guerilla fighting possible at the time.

I have no words to thank you for all the work you are doing to spread the history of my country in such a didactic way and with such respect.

My grandma used to tell us all the time of the Spanish in my city in Morocco and she said that many people went on to fight for Spain just to make some money fast or be useful. She also talked abt how day to day life was under the Spanish and how she and many other girls were part of this girls catholic school which they needed to be part of to get some food she still could speak some Spanish.

That was the first time gas was used against a civilian population. The Moroccans suffered terribly in this war, even if the Moroccans got some incredible victories against the Spanish, like for example the battle of Annual where 3000 Moroccans defeated 23 000 Spanish. Even Mao was inspired by Abd El Krim Al Khattabi's tactics of guerilla. 14:00 that's scary

One thign I noticed about spanish history is that Africa played a huge role in the conquest of Spain especially when Spain is divided politically. When the Arabs conquered Spain, Spain was divided, napoleon Bonaparte used moraccans soldiers as shock troops in Spain. And with spanish Civil War moraccans also played a role with nationalist victory.

The uprising started in the Peninsula. With uprisings in Navarra, Galicia, Castilla and Andalusia.

Excellent

Can you do a video about Pedro Fernando de Queiros and the discovery of Australia? He invented two cartography instruments, what were they?

It’s very interesting to see this as a Moroccan especially when the French employed Moroccans during WW2 from tribes like mine who had fought them in the 1920’s. Their combat effectiveness is not only a result of them fighting Europeans with inferior equipment, tactics, and manpower during the prior decades, but also due to the anarchy that preceded Morocco’s colonization in 1912. As the central Moroccan government collapsed in the 1890’s, the tribes began to fight one another in tribal raiding and participated in Moroccan civil wars and uprisings. The French and Spanish essentially inherited these problems from the Moroccan monarchy when they signed the Treaty of Fes. Anyways this topics reminds me a lot of the Russians employing Chechens today or the Romans auxiliary troops and Carthaginian mercenaries. It’s like hiring the guy who broke your nose as a security guard.

Never forget about the Rif war, where the failure of a state. Spain, had to be bailed out by France to put down a war of liberation by an oppressed people, if you ever need to remember that liberal democracies are not "the good guys". Think about colonization what you want, but at the very least you could say it brings "civilization" and infrastructure. But putting down a revolt is different, as it is rejection of whatever were these supposedly """beneficial""" colonization projects. Also Morocco had nothing to gain, they had a fine enough modern state before the French took it over and gifted Spain part of it out of pity.

Sure la legion might have had plenty of Spaniards but there were italians englishmen and black Americans among others there too. And regardless of your view on Franco after the end of the civil war he was a remarkable officer and had an astounding record by the time la guera de el rif ended

you did one mistake in your video. there is no dessert and no camels in the north. the Rif is a mountains range.

Hmmmm.....well a couple of things. There is an argument about the degree to which the Army of Africa was actually "Fascist" as a primary characteristic, rather than that being a domestic fig leaf it adopted. Franco, of course, being the best example of the kind of wishy washy relationship the Army had with Fascism as an ideology. Also José Antonio Primo de Rivera didn't have any military service to speak of, and was a political radical involved in Spanish politics. The Falange is a political force working in concert with the army, sure, but its complicated.

This another excellent video but I do have one or two points. Are you able to provide a source for the claim the Rif War was personally financed by the King? Everything I've come across previously seems to imply it was a government effort. Secondly I'd disagree with the point about Falangism being colonialism come home to roost. As far as I'm aware José Antonio Primo de Rivera wasn't a soldier, let alone an Africanista. So I don't really see how that issue to the idea can be navigated around. But that's just me nit picking and using the skills the past three years of a history degree has taught me lol. You've been a big help through the degree with your content, so thank you mate.

This is quite interesting. However, it is Ceuta, not Cueta.

Hello Hilbert. Growing up in the UK my parents spoke of the arrival of refugee children as the start of the build up to their war experience, that formed a talking point for that generation. Having gone to spend time in Valencia province, with "As I Walked out one Midsummer Morning" for reference, I soon learned that "Don't mention the war" was more than just a famous phrase from a sit com. P.S. Is your artwork on "the list" yet? Funny that instead of trying to continue the efforts to restore Christianity by crossing to Africa that the Spanish set off to another continent thousands of miles across the sea, back in 1492.

3:07 It's Ceuta

Franco was in command of crushing the Asturian uprising but his actual role in events is ambiguous as he was appointed after fighting had broken out. The one who crushed the strikers was General Eduardo López Ochoa, possibly at least in part on his own initiative, which was a shock to many as he had hitherto been considered a Leftist. Ochoa ended up having both the Left and the Right hating him- the Left called him "The Butcher of Asturias" because of the violence of his troops in ending the strike, but he had in fact tried to negotiate a peaceful settlement with the strikers beforehand and went on to punish and even execute many of his troops for the excessive violence so the Right didn't regard him as trustworthy either. Also, the strike was basically an attempt at a full-scale revolution, or at least many strikers saw it that way, and extremists amongst the strikers committed several dozen summary executions as well as numerous acts of arson, so it wasn't a straightforward black-and-white affair.

Neat

No reference to José Millán-Astray? Is there hatred for cripples involved? Abelism?

The riffians where going in the regulars army, for revenge now the had the oppertunity to fight on there land, and there women and childeren die, war is creu, the leaders even worse.

That's Ceuta Dear, not whatever else

Prior to the Spanish Civil War, Morocco served as a cradle for fascist ideology. Franco began his military career in Morocco, emerging from the Rif War as a hero. Franco expanded Los Legionarios and Los Regulares, promising higher salaries and assistance for the soldier’s families total 80,000 Moroccan soldiers fighting in peninsular Spain. These same men were instructed to terrorize villages upon arrival of the fascist forces. This was a deliberate decision by the fascist forces to relate the barbaric side of the war with the re-emergence of the mythical image of the “maligno moro” (dangerous Moor) of the re-conquest period of Spanish history.

Franco was not a fascist, he used that ideology to gain support in the international field when it was relevant, but had no problem diching it later on, its a big misconception about Franco himself, outside his catholicism and general conservativism, he didn't have a major political belief prior to his ascension as leader of the Nationals.

@The Philosoraptor 🇺🇦 that is not exactly true, as most of the carlist and falangist leadership (what remained of the falangists as most of its leadership got murdered the first months of the war due to finding themselves on republican controlled territory) heavily despised Franco and saw him as nothing more than an oportunist. While a lot of carlist and falangist soldiers ended up loving Franco it was mostly due to the fact that he cleverly took the momentum he gained with his first succesfull campaigns and promptly uniting the falange and the carlists into one while at the same time arresting or exiling its leaders. Franco's falange for instance is barely recognisable from the political propositions of Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, its founder, but fears of breaking the nationalist front due to infights, much like was happening with the republicans and the war tiredness of the aftermath made most of the carlists/falangists to be contempt with Franco's regime.

@The Philosoraptor 🇺🇦 yeah, that was his big argument for uniting the whole nationalist front and this was obviously the correct decision to make in those circunstances but while he was doing this he was carefuly setting up the basis for his vision of Spain and ensuring he would not be removed.

@The Philosoraptor 🇺🇦 that was also a claver move on his part. Carlists and other monarchists wanted to inmediatly proceed to a monarchist restoration. To avoid this, he pitted the falangists (Who were staunchly antimonarchist) and later came finding a "Middle solution" which was his indefinite Regency.

@The Philosoraptor Tended more towards the main carlist claimant, Don Javier. During ww2 he joined the French resistance and got captured by the germans, and was sent to the concentration camp in Dachau, were he was thought dead due to his severe ilness contracted and was given a trepanation without any anaesthetics by a jewish doctor, he actually survived.

were their any who saw this as an extension of la reconquista

Is Ceuta not cueta

OMG number two!! The airlift (the first one in history) was crucial for trasporting the Moroccan army to peninsular Spain (since the nationalist didn't manage to take immediate control of Spanish Navy), but it was NOT done by the German air force, NOR by the German "and" the Italian one. German "Legión Condor" came many months after that... The airlift was done ONLY by the Italian air force alone (in an undercover operation decided by Mussolini and Italian fascist government, with no official insignia on the aircraft).

7:30 Shame on you Peninsulars shame. You took this from them.

Cueta???

Also, the Nationalists did not start the Spanish Civil War. The Republicans did when they refused to respect the democratic election of CEDA and launched wave after wave of violence and expropriation of people's property. If you lived in a country where elections were ignored, or responded to with violence in the streets until the government calls for a new election, you'd hope the army would help return order as well.
