The southern region\, known as Spanish Sahara\, remained under Spanish rule long after Morocco gained independence from France in 1956. For decades\, Morocco sought to regain sovereignty over its southern provinces\, which it viewed as historically and culturally part of the Moroccan kingdom. \nIn 1975\, Morocco brought its case for the Sahara before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague. On October 16\, 1975\, the ICJ issued an advisory opinion acknowledging that historical ties of allegiance existed between the Saharan tribes and the Moroccan sultan\, while also affirming the right of the people of the territory to self-determination. \nFollowing this decision\, King Hassan II launched a peaceful initiative to reclaim the land without military confrontation. \nOn November 6\, 1975\, King Hassan II called on 350\,000 unarmed Moroccan volunteers to march into the Sahara carrying Qur'ans\, Moroccan flags\, and olive branches\, symbolizing peace and faith. The marchers crossed the border into the then Spanish-controlled territory without violence\, demanding the withdrawal of Spanish forces. \nThe event became known as the Green March\, representing unity\, patriotism and nonviolent resistance. \nThe Green March exerted strong diplomatic pressure on Spain\, leading to the Madrid Accords signed on November 14\, 1975. Under this agreement\, Spain agreed to withdraw from the territory and transfer administrative control to Morocco and Mauritania. This event marked a turning point in Morocco's modern history\, completing much of its territorial reunification. \nGreen March Day became a national holiday\, observed every year on November 6. It celebrates the spirit of national unity\, solidarity and peaceful determination that characterized the march.
