Résumé:
The French Liberals and the Independence of Morocco. The prevailing idea among the post-independence generation of Moroccans is that, the struggle of the Moroccan nationalist movement against the French colonial presence was general and against all the French. They do not differentiate between the French who supported the colonial project and those (liberals) who defended the rights and freedom of man. This dominant idea has been strengthened by the lack of national or foreign writings about this important subject. The contributions of French liberal’s to the national cause of Morocco were effective and Significant in terms of service and support. They took part in enlightening the French and the International public opinion, and in the return of King Mohammed V from his exile to the throne, and in settling the Moroccan-French crisis peacefully. Therefore, this article aims to introduce some of those Liberals and their activity and struggle, like: Jean Jaures, Robert Jean Longuet and François Mauriac, to the post independence generations.
