The Rif War, also called the Second Moroccan War, was fought in the early 1920s between Spain (later assisted by France) and the Moroccan Berbers of the Rif mountainous region.
Famous quotes containing the word war:
“In peacetime, they had all been normal decent, cowards, frightened of their wives, trembling before their bosses, terrified at the passing of the years, but war had made them gallant. They had been greedy men. Now they were self-sacrificing. They had been selfish. Now they were generous. War isn’t hell at all. It’s man at his best, the highest morality he is capable of.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
