Tangier Conference

The Tangier Conference, held in 1956, was a diplomatic meeting involving Britain, France, and Spain, discussing the future status of the city of Tangier, which was then an international zone with unique legal and political arrangements. The conference aimed to address issues of sovereignty, security, and administration in Tangier amid regional tensions and decolonization. Its decisions helped shape the city's governance, balancing the interests of the participating countries and local residents, and contributed to Tangier's transition towards greater integration with Morocco, which gained independence shortly afterward.
