The Treaty of Larache was a treaty between Sweden-Norway, Denmark and Morocco as a result of the Moroccan expedition (1843-45). The expedition was conducted by the combined navies of Sweden-Norway and Denmark to pressure the Moroccan sultanate into agreeing to the reversal of several old unfair treaties and to put a halt to the annual payment of tribute to Morocco in exchange for safe passage through the Mediterranean. After months of negotiations, the Moroccan sultan, Abd al-Rahman, eventually caved under the pressure from the allied powers in April 1845 in Larache as Morocco was very weak at this time due to them simultaneously fighting in the Franco-Moroccan War. [3] [4] The treaty was later ratified in Stockholm in May. [3]
