Abstract

The colonial countries worked hard to invade the Arab countries economically, culturally and politically, and to destroy the edifices of their independence and eliminate the freedom of their peoples, as the Arab Maghreb has always been the focus of the West's attention;  Because of its important strategic location and its oil wealth, the French Limoges Library hosted a large exhibition entitled ((Morocco and Europe)), which is an exhibition dating six centuries of European-Moroccan relations based on a large number of historical documents, artworks and coins, and some of the displayed documents reveal the image he carried  With them the Europeans for the               Moroccans.
The most dangerous type of Western infiltration is financing and buying Arab thought for the benefit of the West. Its aim is to pass Western agendas to achieve their interests, as donations were made to Arab countries to achieve their goals and implement their agenda. The donations are either money, equipment, or loans with great interest. The research tries to identify Moroccan society in its process.  And in its internal and external relations and the change that occurred to it, especially after the discovery of oil wealth, and this in turn led to arouse the ambitions of the West who began their settlement in the Maghreb with economic penetration and obtaining privileges until the actual occupation began in the nineteenth century.

The research includes an introduction and three axes and conclusion. The first dealt with the penetration of Western capital in the Arab Maghreb due to the importance of the Maghreb countries and the linking of the Western economy with them in order to reach the Western intervention in them, while the second dealt with the French penetration in Tunisia as a model from the beginning of the intervention until colonialism, while the third talked about the colonial intervention in Libya  Starting with the Italian occupation and ending with the American intervention and the imposition of control that continues to this day in many forms and under different names, the research concluded with a conclusion that included the most important findings of the research
