Before its independence, Morocco had been a French protectorate since 1912 and before that, an independent Sultanate. Morocco had known an active independence movement since 1943 through the Istiqlal Party. France tried to suppress the movement by exiling the Sultan, Mohammed V in 1953, but after extended riots was forced to reinstall him in 1955. Negotiations for independence started and one year later Morocco regained its independence.
