Danish Prince Aage was one of the European figures whose name became linked to Morocco’s history during the French Protectorate, after spending nearly seventeen years in the ranks of the French Foreign Legion and taking part in several military campaigns aimed at subduing Moroccan regions that resisted colonial rule.
During the 19th century, Morocco was introduced to journalism through the Spanish army, deployed in the north to fight the Tetouan war. The trend spread later giving birth to a series of local Spanish-language newspapers.
