Moroccan nationalists increasingly demanded independence and the restoration of sovereignty\, rallying around Sultan Mohammed V\, who supported gradual reforms and resisted colonial control. \nOn August 20\, 1953\, French colonial authorities deposed and exiled Sultan Mohammed V and his family to Corsica\, and later to Madagascar\, for refusing to cooperate with colonial policies.  \nThe French replaced him with Ben Arafa\, a puppet ruler with no popular support. The exile of the beloved Sultan was a turning point and it ignited widespread outrage and resistance throughout Morocco. \nFollowing the exile\, violent protests\, strikes and acts of rebellion broke out across the country. Ordinary citizens\, tribal leaders\, and nationalist movements united in what became known as the Revolution of the King and the People (Thawrat al-Malik wa al-Sha'b).  \nThis unity between the monarch and his people became a defining symbol of the Moroccan independence struggle. The resistance continued for two years\, marked by political organization\, armed resistance\, and diplomatic pressure on France. \nIn 1955\, under growing international and domestic pressure\, France agreed to negotiate with Moroccan nationalists. King Mohammed V returned triumphantly to Morocco on November 16\, 1955\, greeted by massive crowds. Just months later\, on March 2\, 1956\, Morocco regained its independence from France. \nTo honor the shared sacrifices of the monarchy and the people\, August 20 was declared Revolution of the King and the People Day\, often shortened to Revolution Day. The holiday celebrates the unity\, loyalty and patriotism that led to Morocco's liberation and continues to define its national identity. \nRevolution Day symbolizes the unbreakable bond between the King and the Moroccan people. It represents resistance against oppression\, the triumph of unity\, and Morocco's enduring commitment to independence and progress.
