The independence of Western Sahara was primarily achieved through armed resistance by the Polisario Front against Spanish colonial rule. The armed conflict led to Spain relinquishing control of the territory in the mid-1970s. Subsequently, Morocco and Mauritania made claims over Western Sahara, leading to further armed conflict.
While negotiations and diplomatic efforts have been ongoing to find a resolution to the Western Sahara conflict, the primary method by which the territory initially gained independence from Spain was through armed resistance. External pressure and colonial power interests also played a role in the decolonization process.
