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:
“War and culture, those are the two poles of Europe, her heaven and hell, her glory and shame, and they cannot be separated from one another. When one comes to an end, the other will end also and one cannot end without the other. The fact that no war has broken out in Europe for fifty years is connected in some mysterious way with the fact that for fifty years no new Picasso has appeared either.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
