Spanish Army 1921 -1927 (Rif War)
RIF WARS
In 1921, Spanish troops suffered a serious disaster in Annual, as well as a rebellion led by the Rif leader Abd el-Krim. The Spanish retreated to a few fortified positions while El-Krim managed to create an independent state that functioned as such, beyond the papers: the Republic of the Rif. The development of the conflict and its end coincided with the dictatorship of General Primo de Rivera in Spain, who was in charge of the campaign from 1924 to 1927. In addition, after the battle of Ouarga (1925), the French intervened fully in the conflict and established a collaboration with Spain that culminated in a landing in Alhucemas. By 1926 the area had been pacified, Abd-el-Krim surrendered in July 1927 and the territory previously lost was reconquered.
