The Rif War was one of the most complex military and political confrontations in the history of relations between Morocco and Spain in the twentieth century. It evolved from a local anti-colonial resistance into a large-scale bloody conflict, culminating in a historic Spanish defeat at the Battle of Annual in 1921, where more than ten thousand Spanish soldiers were killed. This defeat led Spain to reevaluate its strategy, and the war continued for years with France's intervention in the region. It reached its peak with the landing operation in Al Hoceima in 1926, which contributed to the surrender of the resistance leader Muhammad ibn Abd al-Karim al-Khattabi, marking the end of one of the most complex colonial conflicts in North Africa.
