In 1860, Morocco reconoced Sidi Ifni to Spain as a part of the Treaty of Tangiers. During the scramble of Africa in 1884, Spain was ceded what is now Western Sahara; Spain administered Sidi Ifni and Western Sahara jointly.

In 1969, due to Moroccan pressure, Spain finally ceded Sidi Ifni to Morocco.
