By the Treaty of
Fez , signed
March 30,
1912, Sultan
Abdelhafid gave up the
sovereignty of
Morocco to the
French, making the country a
protectorate. Germany recognised French and Spanish territories in Morocco, receiving in return territories in the
French Equatorial African colony of
Middle Congo (now the
Republic of the Congo). This land, known as
Neukamerun, became part of the German colony of
Kamerun, part of
German West Africa, although they only lasted briefly until they were captured by the allies in
World War I. The area is partly marsh land where
sleeping sickness is pervasive. Also as part of the treaty, Germany ceded France a small area of territory to the south-east of
Fort Lamy, now part of
Chad, as shown on
this map.
