Mauritania and the Western Sahara: Between Algeria and Morocco (1969-1979). (English)
- Abstract:
The history of the Saharian conflict still contains some aspects to be studied, despite the number of essays that have been published in recent years on the subject. Among them, some actors who have gone almost unnoticed, at least for the Spanish historiography. Mauritania is one of them. This paper analyzes the role of that seemingly weak young country in the Sahara crisis making use of US and French diplomatic sources. Its motivations, the evolution of its positions and the political shift from the extreme defense of the principle of self-determination for the Sahara, along with Algeria, to its participation with Morocco in an adventure whose result will be key in the drift of the young Republic towards the abyss. All this process under the examination and/or action of two powers present in the conflict, to a greater or lesser extent: the US and France. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract:
A pesar del número de obras que se han publicado en los últimos años sobre el tema, en la historia del conflicto del Sahara quedan aún aspectos por estudiar. Entre ellos algunos actores que, al menos para la historiografía española, han pasado casi desapercibidos; Mauritania es uno de ellos. Haciendo uso de fuentes diplomáticas estadounidenses y francesas, este trabajo analiza el papel de aquel joven país, en apariencia débil, en la crisis del Sahara. Se revisan sus motivaciones, la evolución de sus posicionamientos y el giro político que le lleva desde la defensa a ultranza del principio de autodeterminación para el Sahara, con Argelia, hasta su participación, con Marruecos, en una aventura cuyo resultado va a ser clave en la deriva de la joven República hacia el abismo. Todo ello bajo el examen y/o acción de dos potencias presentes, en mayor o menor medida, en el conflicto: EE. UU. y Francia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
