The Treaty of Wad Ras (, ) was a treaty  between Morocco and Spain , signed at the end of the Tetuan War on April 26, 1860 at Wad Ras, located between Tetuan and Tangier. The conditions of the treaty exacerbated Morocco's defeat in the war, with major concessions  to Spain. Morocco was forced to pay a 20 million duro (equivalent to $4 million 1861 US dollars) indemnity—far greater the balance of the Makhzen's treasury; the territories of the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla were extended further into Moroccan territory; and Sidi Ifni became a Spanish possession. The years 1859 and 1860 saw the war between Morocco and Spain known as The War of Tetuan . The war came at a time characterized by European colonial expansion in Africa. Morocco suffered a massive military defeat against France in the Battle of Isly in 1844, and in 1856 the British pressured the sultan into a trade agreement that opened the ports and reduced the Makhzen's control over Morocco's economy.
