From 1912 the Kingdom of Morocco was divided into protectorates governed by France and Spain.
The current Moroccan flag was adopted on the 17th of November 1915.
A green five-pointed star known as the ‘Seal of Solomon’ was added to
the red flag, previously used by the reigning Moroccan dynasty since the 17th century, to differentiate Morocco’s flag from similar red flags of other nations.
The flag remained unchanged when the sultanate of Morocco was restored
by the two colonial rulers and independence
granted in 1956.
A year later, the sultan became a king and Morocco became a kingdom. |
