The Green March was a well-publicized popular march of enormous proportions. On 6 November 1975 approximately 350,000 unarmed Moroccans converged on the city of Tarfaya in southern Morocco and waited for a signal from King Hassan II to cross into the region of Saguia El Hamra.
The march continued for four days until November 9, by which point the marchers had pushed ten kilometers into Western Sahara. Once there, King Hassan called the volunteers back and they returned to Morocco, completely unharmed.
The marchers carried Moroccan flags, green banners (representing Islam), Qur'ans, and pictures of King Hassan II throughout the march.
