Spanish Civil War

The men in the Spanish protectorate in Morocco were to rise up

Saturday Jul 18, 1936 at 05:00:00 AM
Spanish Morocco, (Now Morocco)

However, the timing was changed—the men in the Spanish protectorate in Morocco were to rise up at 05:00 on 18 July and those in Spain proper a day later so that control of Spanish Morocco could be achieved and forces sent back to the Iberian Peninsula to coincide with the risings there. The rising was intended to be a swift coup d'état, but the government retained control of most of the country.
