Mhand N'Ifrutant
Sidi Mhand n'Ifrutant was a Moroccan military leader active during the Zaian War. N'Ifrutant's force of 1,500 tribesmen was engaged in battle on 9 August 1918 by French Colonel Paul Doury at Gaouz. As the French force entered a thickly vegetated oasis, n'Ifrutant's men attacked and, in a closely fought action, inflicted losses of 238 killed and 68 wounded - the worst losses since the Battle of El Herri in 1914. Doury's commander, Hubert Lyautey chastised him for his rash actions and failed to believe his report that he had "almost annihilated" n'Ifrutant's troops. French General Joseph-François Poeymirau defeated n'Ifrutant in battle at Meski on 15 January 1919, but was seriously wounded in the chest by the accidental explosion of an artillery shell and forced to hand command to Colonel Antoine Huré. N'Ifrutant's tomb, in the lower valley of the Ragg river, was venerated by members of the Aït Atta tribe. See also *Moha ou Said * Mouha ou Hammou Zayani * Ali Amhaouch *Za ...

Zaian War
Zayanes ( ber, Azayi (singular), (plural); ) are a Berber population inhabiting the Khenifra region, located in the central Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco. Zayanes tribes are known for their attachment to ancestral land and for their tenacity as warriors, especially during the colonization, led by Mouha ou Hammou Zayani. Thus they have prevented many invaders from easily seizing Khénifra. Despite the French defeat in the Battle of El Herri, 13 November 1914, the colonizers were determined not to abandon the fight against the Zayanes, but concerned French troops in invading Morocco in coming face to face with the Zayanes. Geography The tribes of Zayanes live in the Middle Atlas mountain range in the area of Khénifra. The Zayanes belong to a large tribe that twice a year wanders toward , where the climate is milder in contrast to Adrar where the winter is very severe.

19th-century Moroccan People
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the lar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
