A treaty renewed in 1836. A relationship tested by empire, colonialism, international law, and independence.

In 1786, Morocco and the United States concluded a Treaty of Peace and Friendship that gave formal structure to a relationship begun during the American revolutionary era. Fifty years later, the treaty approached the end of its original term.The two countries could have allowed it to expire. Instead, they renewed it. The Eternal Treaty tells the remarkable story of what happened next. Under Sultan Abd al-Rahman ibn Hisham, Morocco and the United States concluded a renewed agreement at Meknes in 1836. Much of the earlier treaty was preserved, but one important change gave the relationship a new legal future: after another fifty years, the agreement would continue unless one government deliberately chose to terminate it. That decision carried Moroccan-American relations into a century neither side could have imagined.
