Abstract
At the end of the 19th century, imperialism mobilized a whole conquest arsenal which resulted in a significant increase of archival documents about Morocco, as few travelers ventured into a land that seemed to be symbolic of the unknown. The case of these three Spanish spies, who came to Morocco to spy on the Moroccan society, destabilize the country and thus create the conditions for a military intervention by Spain in Northern and Southern Morocco, reflects the development of European wars and colonial conquests in North Africa, where spying operations flourished throughout the 19th century. The endeavor was about collecting intelligence information of all kinds: political, military, social, religious or economic, which were essential for political decision-making.
