European Moroccans or White Moroccans are Moroccans whose ancestry lies within the continent of Europe, most notably France and Spain.
Prior to independence, Morocco was home to half a million Europeans.[2] And during the French protectorate in Morocco European Christians formed almost half the population of the city Casablanca.[3] Later after the Independence in 1956, the European population has decreased substantially
In the last years of the 19th century; 250,000 Spaniards lived in Morocco at the beginning of the 20th century. Most Spaniards left Morocco after its independence in 1956 and their numbers were reduced to 13,000.[4][5]
Today European Moroccans are a small minority group in Morocco, accounting for only 1% of the country's population.[1] In religion, most are Roman Catholic Christians.
