بداية التمثيل القنصلي الأمريكي بالمغرب 1801-1838 م

Abstract EN

Since ancient times, the Mediterranean has been a crucial hub of international trade exchange.

It has attracted most international shipping routes and has become a major outlet for merchandising products and goods to the world.

This is why the United States of America, since the nineteenth century, has been striving to set a foothold in Morocco by establishing the first pillar of the US consular representation in Morocco, which coincided with the interest of the Moroccan sultans to see itplay a more vital role in Morocco, especially with the lack of the American territorial ambitions and the increasing foreign pressure on Morocco.

However, this desire used usually to collide with the American side of the policy of isolation, which was limiting their aspirations and imposing on it the principle of neutrality, which was not so encouraging for the US to waive the gains achieved through treaties.
