African country names

Pseudonyms were not obtained by all countries in Africa, but they affected a significant proportion of their countries, including Arab countries such as Morocco .

With the dual Spanish and French occupation of Moroccan territory, each part of the country received a special name.

The first region was known as “Morocco”, which is the part that was controlled by France, and the second part was called “Spanish Morocco”, which is the part that was controlled by Spain.

The third region was known as “Rio de Oro”, which is the name obtained by Western Sahara, which Morocco claims today and controls an important proportion of it.
