Note: The Zaian Confederation of Berber tribes in Morocco fought a war of opposition against the French between 1914 and 1921. Resident-General Louis-Hubert Lyautey sought to extend French influence eastwards through the Middle Atlas mountains towards French Algeria. This was opposed by the Zaians, led by Mouha ou Hammou Zayani. The war began well for the French, who quickly took the key towns of Taza and Khenifra. Despite the loss of their base at Khénifra, the Zaians inflicted heavy losses on the French. The capture of Taza in May 1914 enabled the French to establish contact between their forces in eastern Morocco and those in the west.

147 colonial postcards of Casablanca. Good architectural interest. Numerous cards issued on the eve of Independence. The city's popularity increased with the legendary Hollywood film Casablanca in 1942 , and it was accepted as the modern architectural capital of the period in international evaluations. The city owes this fame to the architectural changes it experienced in the 20th century. Because at that time, the modern architectural theories learned by architects who graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts ( fine arts academy ) in Paris were applied here.
