1936 Spanish Army Seizes Morocco:
The Spanish army in Morocco rose in revolt late Friday night and by yesterday morning [July 18] it was in control of the whole of Spanish Morocco. Fierce fighting broke our between the insurgents and the civil element of the Spanish population, causing heavy loss of life. Arab natives are not taking part in the movement.
