Morocco's long struggle for independence from France ended in 1956. The internationalized city of Tangier was turned over to the new country that same year. Morocco virtually annexed Western Sahara during the late 1970's, but final resolution on the status of the territory remains unresolved. Gradual political reforms in the 1990's have resulted in the creation of a bicameral legislature slated to begin work this year.
