La guerra del Rif constituye uno de los primeros ejemplos modernos de guerra irregular, que sirvió de modelo para posteriores insurgencias contra las potencias coloniales. Durante este conflicto, el Ejército español, primero, y luego el francés, enfrentó a un enemigo formidable, perfecto conocedor del terreno, sobrio, astuto y de indomable valor, características que se le atribuyeron en numerosas ocasiones. Ante un enemigo altamente móvil que utilizaba el terreno como aliado principal, el Ejército español experimentó desconcierto y sufrió derrotas significativas, como el desastre de Annual. Sin embargo, al recobrar la voluntad de vencer y al aplicar nuevamente los principios clásicos del arte de la guerra, logró imponerse a las fuerzas del caudillo rifeño Abd-el-Krim y, en colaboración con los franceses, puso fin a su aspiración de establecer una República independiente en el Rif. application/pdf application/octet-stream https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/16809 10.34096/hyg.n7.16809 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/16809/14136 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/16809/14166 Derechos de autor 2025 Alberto Guerrero Historia & Guerra; No. 7 (2025): January-June; 105-124 Historia & Guerra; Núm. 7 (2025): Enero-Junio; 105-124 2796-8650 Guerra irregular Marruecos Ejército español Irregular Warfare Morocco Spanish Army Abd-el-Krim and the Rif Resistence Against the Spanish Army (1921-1927) Abd-el-Krim y la resistencia rifeña frente al Ejército español (1921-1927) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=histogue&d=16809_oai
