Morocco, a North African country, is inextricably linked with France. Historically, France used to be a colonizer of Morocco, but in modern society, the relationship between the two countries has surpassed the colonial era. This paper will discuss the relationship between France and Morocco from the perspectives of history, culture and economy.

I. History

French colonial rule over Morocco

France began to colonize Morocco in 19 12 until Morocco gained independence in 1956. During this period, France carried out large-scale development and transformation of Morocco, built railways, highways, ports and other infrastructure, and also brought its own culture and language into Morocco. Although this history has brought some contradictions and conflicts, it has also laid the foundation for the ties between the two countries.

1.2 Morocco's influence on France

Under French colonial rule, Morocco became a colony of France. But in this process, Morocco has also brought a lot of influence to France. For example, in the south of France, there are many Moroccan immigrants who have brought their own culture and customs, which have been carried forward in France.

Second, culture.

2. 1 language

French is one of the official languages of Morocco, because during the colonial rule, France brought its own language into Morocco. In modern society, although Morocco has become independent, French is still one of the important languages in Morocco, which also facilitates the communication between the two countries.

2.2 diet

The food culture in Morocco is deeply influenced by France. For example, fromage, red wine, bread and other foods often appear on Moroccan tables. At the same time, Moroccan food culture also influenced France. For example, Moroccan barbecue, tea and other foods can often be seen in French restaurants.

Third, the economy
