📅 17 Yüli 1936 📍 Maroko, Spaña

Generals leading a coup against Spain's elected Republic began the rebellion in the Spanish Protectorate in Morocco before expanding it to the peninsula. The colonial army included Moroccan troops whose recruitment and deployment had grown through Spain's violent rule in North Africa. This history places the colony at the origin of the European civil war and highlights the exploitation of Moroccan soldiers in a conflict framed mainly as Spanish.
