Skirmishes along the Algerian-Moroccan border in 1963 escalated into a full-blown Moroccan attack on the newborn Algerian state, in an attempt to claim the Tindouf area as part of "Greater Morocco".
While Morocco is considered to have had the upper hand militarily, the war produced no territorial gains and was soon broken off. It laid the foundations for a lasting and often intensely hostile rivalry between Morocco and Algeria, to be further excacerbated in 1975 by the Moroccan invasion and subsequent annexation of Western Sahara, with Algeria backing the independence-minded Sahrawi guerrilla organization Polisario.
