Walter Burton Harris' "France, Spain and the Rif, Part 2" is a historical account of the Rif War, a five-year conflict between Spain, France, and the Republic of the Rif from 1921 to 1926. The war stemmed from Spain's efforts to secure control over Morocco, a territory allotted to them by France. The conflict proved disastrous for all involved, with Spain suffering over 40,000 casualties and France incurring 18,000. The war also destabilized the Spanish state, leading to the dethronement of King Alfonso XIII and the rise of Francisco Franco. Harris, a British expat and correspondent for The Times during the war, provides a detailed account of the conflict, highlighting the widespread use of chemical weapons against Rifian civilians by Spain and France.
