Here's a list of Spanish possessions in Africa as well as their political structure and foundation-independence dates.

Spanish Morocco (Protectorate, 1913-1956)

Ifni (Protectorate, 1860-1969)

Spanish Sahara (Colony, 1880-1975)

Answer 3

Equatorial Quines

Formerly the colony of Spanish Guinea, its post-independence name is suggestive of the state's location near both the equator and the Gulf of Guinea. Apart from the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the coast of Morocco, it is the only territory in mainland Africa with Spanish as the official language.
