The Spanish protectorate in Morocco was based in a High Commision as the highest authority in the area, supported by diferent delegations that promoted the sectorial policies. The Moroccan authority structure was based on a khalifa who was in charge of the government and the administration with the assistance of a central Makhzen. The political action required a territorial organization to keep the Spanish presence. However, this structure based on the Makhzen and the kabyle administration did not take into account the differences and complexity of Morocco.
