Description:
(Sultan of Morocco) Abdelaziz of Morocco, a sultan from the 'Alawi dynasty, ruled from 1894 to 1908. He tried to consolidate the central government by implementing a tax on agriculture and livestock, which was met with resistance. To bolster his initiatives, he pledged customs revenues and sought loans from the French, sparking a rebellion. These events led to a revolution in 1908 that deposed Abdelaziz, with his brother Abd al-Hafid assuming leadership.
