    Morocco is the first country to recognize the U.S. On December 20, 1777, the Kingdom of Morocco became the first country in the world to recognize United States independence, only a year and a half after the U.S. Declaration of Independence was issued.

    In 1821, the Moroccan ruler, Sultan Moulay Suleiman, gave the United States, a building in the old medina of Tangier, and gave the United States its first diplomatic property, the site of the American Legation.

    The Allaouite Dynasty has been ruling morocco since 1666, and they recognized USA in 1777... 111 years later... weird.

    Excellent documentary! Thanks for providing a great intro to future visitors. Since you are a student of history, I hope you came away with my book (from the Legation bookshop) - "Lions at the Legation & Other Tales: Two Centuries of American Diplomatic Life in Tangier." Best regards, Gerald Loftus
