[[Yusef of Morocco|Sultan Yusef]]'s reign, which lasted from 1912 to 1927, was turbulent and marked with frequent uprisings against Spain and France. The most serious of these was a Berber uprising in the Rif Mountains, led by [[Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-Karim al-Khattabi|Abd el-Krim]], who managed to establish a [[Republic of the Rif|republic]] in the Rif. Though this rebellion began in the Spanish-controlled area in the north, it reached the French-controlled area. A coalition of France and Spain finally defeated the rebels in 1925. To ensure their own safety, the French moved the court from Fez to [[Rabat]], which has served as the capital ever since.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qqeOMjr9kqYC&pg=PA125|title=The French Foreign Legion: An Illustrated History|last=Lepage|first=Jean-Denis G.
