This study, primarily concerned with attitudes towards rebellions, is an attempt to analyse the interaction between the French imperialist process in Morocco and the state of quasi‐civil war of the Sharifian Empire in the early years of the twentieth century.’ For the French military responsible for the Algero‐Moroccan borderland, it was a striking reality that the Sultan of Morocco was exercising little and sometimes no authority on the tribes at the periphery of his empire. This bilad as‐siba, literally the land of dissidence, was depicted by the French authorities and later by colonial historiography as a good illustration of so‐called ‘Moroccan anarchy’. The rebellions of Eastern Morocco, provided the ‘men on the spot’ with a complex political reality, which was alternatively perceived as a threat, a potential to promote a forward policy despite the opposition of the metropolis, and even as a field of experimentation for a indigenous policy which could be applied to the whole of Morocco
