EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of the Sultans troops' arrival in Casablanca, Morocco, during a period of unrest in 1907. The image portrays a sense of anticipation and tension as the soldiers, mounted on horses, disembark from their boats and set foot on Moroccan soil. The boats, filled with troops and supplies, are anchored in the calm waters of the harbor, with the city's buildings and towering minarets visible in the background. The arrival of the Sultans troops was a significant event in Moroccan history, as it marked the beginning of the protectorate era, during which France and Spain gained control over the country. The troops were brought in to provide military protection and maintain order in the face of growing unrest among the local population. The people of Casablanca, who are gathered on the shore, watch the scene unfold with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural complexity of Morocco during the early 1900s and the profound impact of European colonialism on the region.
